SP has one other match for the same search parameters for Catherine Kennedy also Stewart and that is in Hutchesontown, Glasgow in 1880. Given the Glasgow connection, have you checked that one? Good luck  ;)

Just had quick look on ScotPeo. They have for Inverness, INV a death in 1866 for Ewen Stewart, born 1795 +/-5 yrs. There is also a death record for a Catherine Kennedy, other surname Stewart, born 1805 +/- 5 yrs, in 1890 in Inverness-shire in the parish of Insh. Worth checking :)

There is a family in the 1851 census that may fit the Ewen Stewart that you are looking for. In the town of Inverness, at 55 Tomnahurich St, is shepherd Evan Stewart (age 56), wife Catharine (47), and chn Margaret (18), Charles (14), William (14), Catharine (11), Grace (6) and Janet (2). This Janet looks a possibility for your Jessie, birth year 1849. Also with this family is Ewen's brother Alexander (age 69) and a tailor. All recorded as having been born in Kilmorack, Inverness.
May not be the right one but worth checking out

From 1844 until 1900, Ewen was married to Isabella McDonald so it seems unlikely he was the father of your Jessie Stewart unless the informant got the mother's name completely wrong. Jessie's marriage record to James Welsh could throw some light on this.

Hi Jane,
I can tell you that Donald Stewart was born in Shirramor in Laggan, the adjoining parish to the east of Kilmonivaig, in Dec 1780. He moved in to Kilmonivaig around 1806 or so, according to the info on his death register entry. Janet Stewart was his second wife; first was believed to be Margaret Kennedy - they married in Laggan 7 Jul 1804.
Cheers,
John

Hi Jane,

Donald Fraser and Catherine naming a son Robert could be a pointer to Catherine's parents being the Donald Stewart and Janet Stewart mentioned in the earlier posts, as Catherine Stewart had an elder brother Robert, born 1818, who married Flora Cameron in Kilmonivaig in 1848. Robert was the informant for their father Donald Stewart's death in 1855 at Glefintaig where Robert was a shepherd.

Cheers,
John

Thanks Annie! I have info on Mary's marriage and life thereafter but other than her parents names, her Dundee RC birth and a suggestion of the Irish link, I have nothing more at this stage to get further back. I have some work to do on the 1851 census for Dundee that may throw something up but not overly hopeful. If you stumble on any possible family ties, please let me know.
Cheers,
John

Hi Jane,

It's my wife's family actually - Donald Stewart was her maternal gg-GF. Son Alexander Stewart who married Ann Cameron became a gamekeeper at Kinlocheil, as was his son Hugh. Alexander and Ann Cameron are buried in the old Kilmallie churchyard at Corpach. By the way, Donald was buried at the Macomur graveyard near Spean Bridge.

This family has proved tricky to locate and some of the info still needs verification but we're getting there.

Cheers,
John
