Hi everyone,   

Katie Stewart was my grandmother she married John McInnes in 1910 at Stonehouse, not long after that they came to Australia unfortunately John died in ww1 that's when Katie married my grandfather William Bell.

most of this happened at Stonehouse Stirlingshire but not all

Now Katie's parents where Thomas & Margaret Stewart nee Bruce and on the 1891 census it lists the following

Thomas               age 41?
Margaret             age  38   (Maggie)
Janet                   age  16
Matthew              age  12
Jane                    age   10
John                    age     9
Lizzy                    age     7  (Elizabeth)
Maggie                age     ?  (Margaret)
Katie                    age     1

on their marriage cert it states that their parents where

Thomas

Matthew Stewart and Janet Stewart  nee  Craig

Margaret's

John Bruce and Margaret Bruce nee Somers or Summers

on a Matthews death cert I found he died  18/5/1867 he was married to a Janet Craig his parents where

Matthew Stewart and Janet Stewart nee Wilson

also on a census for 1871 there is a listing for a

Matthew Stewart  age 32
Elizabeth               age 31
Elizabeth               age   1

but on another 1871 census i found this

Janet Stewart    head  age 51
Mathew              son    age 28?
Catherine           dau    age 13
Ann Smith         g/dau   age   5
Janet Milville?   g/dau   age    1
John Shearer    boarder age   55

cannot get a lot of cert as it has to be ordered with Scotlands People and didnt have much luck with IGI (some not much)

Can anyone help with info? It would be appreciated muchly.

thanks  :D
