Hi Archie,

Have scrolled through this thread to see if anyone had previously mentioned people I'm looking for. Sadly none. But I'm really impressed with your help. Sad to see the links are no longer usable and the film didn't happen. Wish a turn of fortune would come your way.

I'm looking for a James Stewart (b.1811 Drumelzier- d.1882 Stobhill) married 1840 Penicuik to Janet Renton (abt 1822 Newbattle - ?). James came from Peebles-shire working his way in Agriculture to Penicuik ending up in Newbattle/Stobhill according to the Censuses.
Their Daughter Isabella lived with them at Newbyres Cottages, Stobhill, Midlothian, Scotland in 1878.
Their grandson Thomas Reid Stewart (b.1878 Newbattle-d.1818 Stobhill) married 1906 Carrington Hannah Jones Kirkwood (b.1882 Carrington-d.1955 Lasswade) they had 2 daughters I know of Christina Skirv. Stewart and Helen Reid Stewart.

Thanks for any help

TY 'telmark', have updated my Tree and noted the cemeteries for visits.

TY Douglas, have correct my Tree to read John Bell Fell.

I don't have a James Bell Fell, cannot find him on the family Census, (mind you I can't find an 1881 census for the family.) and I can't find a Birth/Marriage/Death in the Statutory Records either. Have you any more info for me, TY

Have you any info on John possibly being in the Merchant Navy in 1871, I think Jemima is living alone, expecting their child, married in Biggar. ?

TY pharma T: John Bell Fell is my 2nd Great Grand Uncle
