Midlothian / Grace Stewart m. 1816 @Leith
« on: Tuesday 30 January 18 02:31 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me track down any birth information on my 3rd great grandma, Grace Stewart Chappell and/or who her mother was.
The only proof of her existence in Scotland that I have been able to find is her marriage record...
*George Chappell Royal Scots(?) and Grace Stewart, daughter of Malcolm Stewart, Printer Leith, residing foot of the Pleasance(?) gave their names for proclamation of Bannes Matrimonial.*
Grace and George made their lives in Caunton, Nottinghamshire, England. I have found them on 4 Caunton census records every decade from 1841-1871. The records werent recorded properly as her birth year has been listed as 1791/2, 1786 ( died in 1879, ages given was 93) & 1788/9.
I have searched scotlands people, family search, ancestry, freereg/bmd/cen. I am starting to think perhaps Grace is her middle name, so I have tried finding her father, going only by the information that he was a printer.
I was directed to a record of a Malcolm Stewart, bookbinder, that married an Ann or Agnes Hunter, but I do not want to assume that printer and bookbinder would have been one in the same.
I appreciate any advice on how to proceed in finding information. Thank you.
