My dad's uncle Jack (John William Stewart)sdad was most probably also called John (both used Jack)
It's said the elder, along with his brother, who if family hand down names go, was possibly Reuben, ran away from an Orphanage or a Workhouse. Have to guess that he may have been born 1885, so running away from anywhere he would have to be able to. However, once they ran they changed their name to Stewart. I'm pretty sure their real name was Pike. Not sure on area.. Scottish link somewhere as uncle Jack the younger was in the Highland something military.
The family did live in Grimsby or Louth at one point and Jack the elder wed Mary (Price?) and later someone called Margaret Furlong from Liverpool, or lived with her.
My Ancestry dna has given lots of Pikes as distantly related to me but I've no subscription at this time to contact anyone.. Is there any Pikes on here who have a story like this? Or any way to ever find who these boys were originally? Iv no idea where what or when.. Just names. Jack senior had large family.. Jane, Nora, Grace, Walter, Reuben, John(Jack) William, no idea of order. But some Grimsby /Louth I believe as they wed back into family, Price etc there.
Is this a lost case? Just interested to see if it can be solved.. Thank you.
My dna is on Ancestry, MyHeritage and Gedmatch if anyone feels they might have answers or be related..
