hi monica yeah elizabeth downie mason was his wife, i think he was margaret middlemist after that, and had margaret stewart his daughter, wife of thomas quinn, and potentially another daughter isabelle, but also, margaret middlemist apparently died a spinster, so im not sure if the children were a product of an affair or jst a 2nd unmarried relationship, but yeah that is the one, i have the info of the staying at mid arthur place in dumbiedykes, and he was also a witness at his neices death in colinton, i do have some info on george its the all his family that are seemingly non exsistent lol

Thats Monica,
What Site is the tree on? and is there anyway i can view that or any other documents containing my that line?
I am a bit confused with this line as to what they were, as in travellers, or clansmesn or both, i heard a few stories that alot of scottish travellers were nothing to do with romas back in those days they were clans people who fell victim of the clearances and jst refused to move into house and pay taxes to a government who dont tht basically it was a form of rebellion, and nowadays of course all travelling cultures are quite together and close, irish and scottish now do have lots of roma in there blood over the generations, anyway i was wondering if there is a way if could find out what my stewarts came from or started out as is there anyway you could possible help or point me in the right direction?
i dont mean to be a pain im jst quite new to this lol

Cheers Ryan

hi sorry rose i dont actually have the birth certificate i jst remember there was complications with the death certificate as the spelling was difrent we had to prove the name actually had 2 nn's in it, well grandfather did as it thomas b.1917 was my ggrandfather and it was my grandads father, im sure he told me thomas b.1917d.1995s father is buried in mount vernon edinburgh but his grave might not be marked or something,

i can tell you about siblings, Thomas 3 definite siblings, William, and one of the sisters was Mary or Margaret that is possibly the name of both sisters, potential other siblings are James and Andrew, but not definite and the name Owen and Patrick do come up aswell, there could be other potential siblings of course that i dont know about and the ones i already think are potential siblings could even be aunts uncles cousins or fathers grandfathers etc,etc, that the trouble with researching a family so many common forenames and surnames it gets confusin who goes where, its like a thousand peace jigsaw and thats jst over a few generations lol

any help would be so much appreciated, Cheer Ryan

Hiya cheers for that,

Would it help if i told you some of Thomas's siblings, he had a brother William (Bill), sister Mary or Margaret possibly both, and the names James and Andrew are familiar, i know for a Fact about Bill and 2 sisters my mother remembers them vaguely as a child, and i made contact with bills daughter on GenesReunited,...

Could you possibly give me the info i am looking for with the siblings i have given you i know the names i have mentioned are all very popular names of that time, but im hoping the fact bill is a definite and there is at least one sister with either name of mary or margaret could narrow it down a bit i would really be gratefull if you could help me im sorry if im being a pain or anything

hi could anyone tell me if theyve found a link between mungo park and martha and isabelle/a park? i know there is one, as i am a direct descendent of isabella sister of martha and daughter of margaret anderson and john park, i cant find the connection yet to mungo the explorere, but i know there is a connection as my great aunt used to get an annual letter and some sort of payment with it, im not sure what the payment was or the letter for that matter, my mum mentioned it to be something to do with the mungo park direct descendent foundation or something of that sort, the money was not life changing but in hard times im sure it still dont its bit, i am really intrigued by the character mungo and would love to find the connection, i have came across many people saying they are descendants (including me til a prove it), aswell as people from africa where he explored he seemed quite a guy,... anything atoll would be appreciated

Cheers Ryan
