Hello folks
As this surname was so common in Hamilton, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack attempting to whittle down results on SP. So, opening this up to the boards here, on off-chance anyone else researching the surname has come across them:
Family 1
Joseph Stewart m Katie E Thompson 14/1/1898
at least one child
Georgina Stewart b1900/01
lived Aitken Street at 1901
Family 2
Thomas Stewart m Sarah Donnelly 15/1/1897
at least the following children
Margaret
Lizzie
lived at Bishop Street, Cadzow in 1903
As I have research up to 1903, am mainly hopeful of anything on either family after that. Joseph and Thomas were brothers.
ps
also interested on anything on another brother, John Stewart, who lived at Eddlewood Rows in 1912....don't know if he was married....possible entry for him at Hamilton Poorhouse in 1901.
and yet another brother, William H Stewart at Laudale Street with parents at 1901 ...know nothing on him after 1901 (parents died 1903 and 1912).
I was able to follow yet another brother, George, beyond 1901 and their sister Sarah died 1901.

I know that only too well, thanks, but wasn't actually looking for/asking for 1911 look ups (and haven't done my own at moment as, having spent hundreds of £ on SP over the numerous years I've been a member there (as no doubt have many others too), I limit myself to buying credits only every now and again, but am not due to do so again for a while yet):
"As this surname was so common in Hamilton........ opening this up to the boards here, on off-chance anyone else researching the surname has come across them:"
Was really more hopeful of some fellow Stewart in Hamilton researcher out there having knowledge of these particular groups after the early 1900s, because it is either their line or they have inadvertently purchased records for them and found them not to be theirs.
Am happy enough, therefore, that this thread just sits on board until perhaps one day someone happens past and sees it. Have had good success with other such posts in past - on one line, resulting in contact from someone who read my post 4 years after I made it.

Update on one of the above chaps:
Have tracked down what became of William H Stewart. Sadly, after moving to England for a while and marrying a Mary Samples there in 1912, then returning to Hamilton where they started a family, he died, rather young, in 1919, (out of Hamilton district as he was in hospital in Glasgow).

Hi Scotmum
I have Stewarts from that area in direct line. Tho as you correctly say , they are plentiful! Puter is in process of being fixed where all my records are so can't check certs.
My Stewart (Janet) married a Mair but of course she'd have had siblings. They were miners so a bit itinerant but if I come up with anything will let you know. Happy to send you my tree on a gedcom if it helps and you can have a look at Stewarts located to date and see if any fit what you're looking for.
Ann :D

Hello Ann, long time no chat. Yes, as you say, surname was common in area. This lot originated Ireland and moved to Hamilton late 1800s.
No Janet in the line so far, but will keep your offer in mind should I happen upon one.
Hello Sancti, their mother's maiden name was Armstrong, she and her hubby, James, migrated to Scotland late 1800s from the Monaghan/Fermanagh border area of Ireland. Youngest and second youngest went with them, then older siblings seemed to follow.
Hello Rodeo, and well found! Some of those addresses do indeed look good and the Landale/Laudale one is also on documents I have. Many thanks! I shall check over each of the entries you have listed and see what I can glean from them. Certainly, at first glance, the Elizabeth Jane Stewart burial ties with death I have for Eliza Jane Stewart (nee Armstrong). Bent Cemetery isn't one I am familiar with, so I have just googled it and realised, somewhat frustratingly, that I was within about a mile of it one day over Christmas/New Year holidays, as we were in Scotland then.
Are the details you have listed found in a book/CD?

my mother was Kitty Stewart Tagoat Wexford Ireland any chance they might be the same

Some updates:
Ok, the John at 119 Eddlewood Rows must have been a different Stewart family. Have just checked my notes, and although I so far can't find a death for him (and have previously used credits on wrong Johns), I do have the John listed in my original post, as signing his mum's death cert in 1912, address given for him was 74 Eddlewood Rows.
As I thought, his mum Eliza Jane died 21st May 1912, so the 24th May burial would seem to be hers. Her hubby, James, also died at 8 Landale Street, in 1903, albeit I don't see his burial in your list,
I seem to have 33 Aitken Street listed for Joseph Stewart and family, but will keep the burials from 13 Aitken Street in mind, as always possible the 33 I have was a mistranscript. Will check my records again.
Thomas Stewart married at 22 Austine Street, so I will check the Austin Street entries you listed further too.
The infant William Henry Stewart at 4 Landale street looks to have been first born of William Henry Stewart snr, as having checked the death cert again of William snr, I see usual residence was noted as what seems to be number 4 (albeit not 100% clear on copy).

Scotmum, there is every possibility that the addresses you have are correct but families did move regularly as their family expanded, and in many cases to houses in the same street
-
Yes, I've noticed that often, sancti, and so usually keep it in mind and don't rule folks out until I have enough proof either way.

Sorry, Wexford was an entirely different area of Ireland, so very unlikely to be any link.

Hi Scotmum
There is, in fact, a Bent Cemetery burial for your James Stewart
Stewart, James, age 69, date of burial 3 July 1903, 8 Landale St, Cadzow

Brilliant, rodeo, thanks!

Posting some updates in case any links to any of the Stewarts in this thread should one day happen along.
also interested on anything on another brother, John Stewart, who lived at Eddlewood Rows in 1912....don't know if he was married
Now discovered that John married a Margaret West in Ireland in 1894. He then brought her to Hamilton. At 1901 census he was abroad serving in army. Sadly, he was then killed in WW1 07/08/1915 http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/685999/STEWART,%20JOHN , by which time his family lived at Morgan Street, Hamilton. Five children, Elizabeth, Violet , John, Marion, Joseph. Of these, have so far discovered that Violet Stewart married a John Dunsmore (believed brother of http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=81582521 ) in 1917. She died 1956.
Family 2
Thomas Stewart m Sarah Donnelly 15/1/1897
at least the following children
Margaret
Lizzie
lived at Bishop Street, Cadzow in 1903
Eventually tracked Thomas and Sarah down to Little Neston in Cheshire by 1911. Working in mines there. By then, children were Maggie, Elizabeth, James, Ruth, Mary and Thomas.Young Thomas was born there, whilst sister Mary was born back in Hamilton, so family must have moved after her birth. Trail thereafter has gone cold.

Family 1
Joseph Stewart m Katie E Thompson 14/1/1898
at least one child
Georgina Stewart b1900/01
lived Aitken Street at 1901
An update on this grouping. It seems they returned to Ireland:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Fermanagh/Greenhill/Currin/524957/
Valuation Revision books record Joseph in the property until at least 1929. Daughter, Katie (Catherine), possibly married a neighbour's son, James Murphy, in 1927 (yet to be confirmed).

Now confirmed and contact made with a living descendant.
