Can I ask a big favour please for 3 census look ups.
1841, 1851 and 1861 for David Stewart should be with wife Rebecca.
Not sure about d.o.b.'s possibly 1815.
1851 and 1861 should be living in Stirling street , Glasgow. with daughter Ann.
Thank you

Hi ,
Have you tried http://www.freecen.org.uk/ for the 1841 / 1851 Census transcriptions ?
Is this the family ? -
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FMSG-QL2
1841 - David Stewart 45 , Rebeckah Stewart 35 , Ann Stewart 1 month , living Gallowgate Street Glasgow Lanarkshire.
1851 - The same family are , I think , at 332 Gallowgate Street but the wife is down as Rachael.

Thank you for replying ev,
it's a bit complicated but to cut a long story short i had been in touch with the mitchell library in glasgow to ask about poor relief records for Ann Stewart b c1840 living in Stirling Street with parents Alexander and Agnes nee Mitchell, they very kindly did a look up on the P.R and found her but with parents David and Rebecca nee Clarke, she applied in 1854 making her aged about 15.
I have her on the 1851 with surname Mitchell , her mothers maiden name and again in 1861 with surname Stewart.
Addresses are 2, stirling street and 4, Stirling street, she is with her grandmother Ann Mitchell and sister Margaret .
All very confusing, perhaps i will get in touch with the Mitchell again.
I have been looking for her for ages now and no death or marriage on Scotlandspeople that I can see.
thank you again

Don't know Stirling Street, there was a Stirling Road in the Townhead with a pub called The Cairngorm. (got the t shirt).

Going by the 1851 Census transcriptions Ann Stewart and Ann Mitchell would appear to be 2 different persons.

Found her on the 1851 at 2, Stirling street on freecen.
As you say ev looks like 2 different Ann's.
Just got confused when the Mitchell said she had applied for poor relief whilst living in Stirling Street in 1854.

Thank you Skoosh but it was defo Stirling Street.

Stirling Street was a bit south of Stirling Road.
Stirling Street ran westwards from High Street and on a modern map would be roughly south of the eastern end of modern Ingram Street where it meets the High Street parallel to Ingram Street and Bell Street.

Just been checking some old maps and there was a second Stirling Street which was in the Port Dundas area .... (did these people have no imagination regarding street names ::) )

Thank you very much for all this information blemdookie but I don't think this is the family I am looking for.
There seems to have been 2 Ann Stewart's living in Stirling Street according to the people at the Mitchell library in Glasgow.
The Ann Stewart I am looking for is I think is the sister to my gr.grandmother Margaret Stewart b c. 1843 as they are both living with their grandmother Ann Mitchell in 1851 and 1861 in 2 and 4 Stirling Street.
On my great grandmother's marriage and death certificate it shows her parents as Alexander Stewart and Agnes nee Mitchell although can't find either Ann's or Margaret's births anywhere.

In the 1881 Census there's a John Stewart, bottle packer, age 55, b. 1826 Ireland, living at
11 Dunchattan Street, Dennistoun, Glasgow.

Thank you Skoosh,
really don't know if he is one of mine as can't find anything on Ann and Margaret's father Alexander Stewart.
I do have poor relief records for Ann's sister Margaret in 1891 which shows she was born in the Cowcaddens area but as yet still can't find a birth for her or Ann.
-
Hi, if Ann was born 1840ish she should probably be living with her parents in 1841 census but there is no sign of them. Something is wrong with the facts. Your saying Ann was living with grandmother and her sister Margaret. The 1851 census for 2 Stirling st says that Ann & Margaret were living with their grandmother also named Margaret not Ann. Somewhere along the line something is getting confused.Also if they were living with their grandma her name would be Stewart not Mitchell even tho she was born a Mitchell.Review your notes to see there is anything else you can tell us. When did she marry so we can look at cert,maybe a clue there. Kim

Hi Kim,
She is a complete mystery.
I cannot find anything on her apart from the 1851 and 1861 census.
I have all the records for her sister Margaret ( that's if they are sisters )from marriages to death showing her parents Agnes Mitchell and Alexander Stewart.
On the 1851 both girls have the grandmothers name of Mitchell and the 1861 shows their surname as Stewart.
Can't find a marriage or death for on Scotlandspeople, there are so many Ann Stewarts and Ann Mitchells to go through and the ones I have looked at are not her, it's costing me a small fortune .
