Stewart from Lochbroom and Ardmair

[ShellDeLeo]

birth for an Alexander Stewart in 1814 in Lochbroom (wondering if this
is
the eldest son of Donald Stewart and Janet Morrison, although there is
no
mother listed on the entry it mentions father as Donald Stuart of
Ardmair).

just wondering if anyone has any info on this alexander stewart thanks Michele

I live in sight of Ardmair, Michele. I know that there were some Stewarts on Isle Martin which is just off Armair. Would that possibly be the family.

I'm sure they moved to Tanera Mor - just off Achiltibuie. It's still in Lochbroom Parish.

PS - Lochbroom is quite a big Parish Joe - have you got any addresses?

as you can imagine gadget, i do not know the area, i have donald and janet and alex all living in assynt, is that any good?

[Gadget]

Assynt is a bit further North - starts just south of Elphin. Ardmair is deffo Lochbroom!

But there were lots of intermarriages.

It might be worth following up Alexander Stewart in 1841 and a possible death post 1855 though.

I think Michele is referring to an Alexander Stewart who was bpt 20 March 1814 in Lochbroom Parish, father Donald Stewart.

Lochbroom is in Ross and Cromarty, so I'm not sure that he would say his birthplace was Sutherland. Nedd is quite a way from Ardmair.

I'll have a did around as well.
