I'm looking for Margaret Stewart born 1853 in Coldstream. I know that her mother is Elizabeth born c1814 also from Coldstream but i do not know who her father is (suspect it's Alexander). They appear on the Durham Census for 1891 when Margaret is then an Eltringham, and Elizabeth is with them listed as Widow. I have checked the IGI, but due to the inaccuracies on their i had to check the census, as Elizabeth's husband Alexander apparently was born 1831 (17 yr age gap). Margaret has 1 sibling according to the IGI, Alexander c1851 Coldstream.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

That's the one. It's just a muddle with the parents probably having a 17 year age gap. Need to confirm it with the census details.

Hello again Browny,
I have looked and looked at the 1861 census and the only family that seem in anyway likely is the following:
276 Parlimentory Road, Glasgow Barony, Lanarkshire
Alexander Stewart Head M 37yrs Pattern Maker b. Blacklirff, Linlithgowshire
Elizabeth Stewart Wife F 37yrs b. Dumbarton, Dumbartonshire
Margaret Stewart Dau F 8yrs Scholar b. Glasgow, Lanark
Alexander Stewart Son M 5yrs Scholar b. Glasgow, Lanark
Daivid Webster Boarder M 28yrs Engineer Railway b. Ceres, Fifeshire
Christina Graham Boarder F 23yrs Domestic Servant b. Perth, Perthshire
Janet Cairns Boarder F 1mth b. Glasgow, Lanark
I realise that the place of birth is wrong and that Alexander her brother is younger than her not older, but I will check the 1871 to see if it helps :-\

Alexr Stewart 35, mason, b. England
Elizb Stewart 36
Adam Stewart 6
Robt Stewart 2
Address: Coldstream New Town
The entry you found on IGI, was it a submitted entry?

I think this is a possible for Margaret in 1881:
14 Gloucester Road, Elswick
William McCowan, m, 30, Woolwich, Kent -- Railway clerk
Margt. McCowan, f, 27, Scotland
There's a December 1874 marriage date for them on freebmd and a marriage of a Margaret McCowan and George Eltringham in Newcastle, March 1884. :)
-
That was a possibility i noticed when checking the BMD's, but ignored it. It had crossed my mind that she may have been married before. Many thanks Hume.

Margaret did marry William McCowan in December in Newcastle 1874
-
Glad that's sorted. There's a death for a William McCowan in Newcastle, September 1882, aged 32 which, although a year out from the 1881 census, matches up with William. :)
