I am researching my fathers family tree. His name was Edward Burns Stevenson (1931) His Parents were James Stevenson and Annie Burns. His grandparents were William Stevenson and Mary Forsyth. His great grandparents were Alexander Stevenson and Janet Armstrong. His great x 2 were William Stevenson and Jean Cowan. His great x 3 were James Stevenson and Janet Paton.
I was wondering if anyone has any photos of members of my family or of the Sink Cottages or the Miners Rows in Cowie.

Have you looked on an old map to see where these dwellings were?
Added:
Are these the Miners Rows?

Hello Isabel
I think I could be of some help to you.
Alexander Stevenson and Janet Armstrong were my great great grand parents and I have done quite a bit of research on the Stevenson tree.
Is there anything in particular that you are interested in ?

Sorry but no info on Jane.
Isabelle never married. She spent many years in America as a nanny/governess and was told that she was employed by the Rockefeller family.

It would help if I knew how Jane fitted into the family ?
was Jane your direct relative ?
SP Index has a Jane Stevenson marrying an Andrew Hyslop in 1996. ?
-
Peter Stevenson and hiswife Victoria Mary Swan
-
Sorry, I made a mistake with the year of marriage between Jane Stevenson and Andrew Hyslop.
It should have read 1896 and not 1996
Can you say whether or not they are your direct ancestors.
Also.
What is the relationship between you and Peter Stevenson and Victoria Swan and do yo have any dates for them
Regards.
