as William U!!! an auditor/clerk 1905 & 1910 back in Camden, New Jersey
1905 an auditor with the Bennets ( says b. NFLD)
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-95NB-98XQ
1910 clerk/railroad office with the Bennets 86-sheet 21a

Back to P.E.I - 1864 directory: Rev. W. Stewart, B. A., Stratford, &c.
The Southport Cemetery: An Episcopal church was built in Southport (now Stratford)
around 1856 largely due to the efforts of Rev William Stewart. The church was sold
1910 but the site & attached cemetery remained the property of the Church of Eng.
... adding: Looking back into Nova Scotia:
- Just found a Rev. John Stannage who had a daughter - Ann Elizabeth Uniacke Stannage
Rev. John Stannage was born in 1808, in Channel Islands...(the son of John Stannage
and Elizabeth Le Masurier) He married Eliza LeCain on 4 September 1840, in Nova Scotia,
...an Elizabeth G? "Uniake" & E.D.B. Cunnigham signed as witnesses
They were the parents of at least 2 daughters. He lived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada 1840.
In 1834, age 26, occ listed as anglican clergyman (rector Elizabethtown & Kemptville)
So, although not the father of Charlotte...May be related to her? The Reverend also sounds
as enthusiastic as William as he fundraised to build many churches in Nova Scotia.
His daughter with both the names also gave freely to benefit the church. Perhaps he may have named them after a benefactor?

Dist. Visiting Society of her husband's church in 1853....So the wife of clergyman Robert Fitzgerald

Was he posted to PEI even earlier as the rector in nearby Cherry Valley???
