Hi Ecclescake  :)

I've only  just seen this posting.

The only Dorothy Stevenson of roughtly the right age on the 1861 is with her grandparents in Kircudbright itself:

871 ED 1 page 14  Hight Street, Kirkcudbright

John W Stevenson, 65, letter carrier, b. Kirkcudbright, KKD
Ann, w, 67,b. Kirkcudbright, KKD
Margaret, d, unm, 26, b. Kirkcudbright, KKD
James C or E, s, unm, 23, letter carrier, b. Kirkcudbright, KKD
Annie, granddaughter,  12, scholar, b. Kirkcudbright, KKD
Dorothy, granddaughter, 10, scholar, b. Kirkcudbright, KKD
Jane McAdam, boarder, 1, b. Kelton, KKD

There is also a Dorothy A Stevenson listed in Hamilton, Lanarkshire, aged 5 but she was born Glasgow (647 ED 16 Page 2)

I can't find a birth registered for her or her sister in eeither Dumfriesshire or Kircudbrightshire at the moment. Where did you get your information?

  Hi Gadget,

My many many thanks for that information on Dorothy Stevenson.

She is my  grt grandmother.on my mothers fathers side.

I found her on the 1901 Census for SALFORD Lancashire with her family.

On Census it says b Glasgow. on other census it says Troqueer.

So I would say that she may well have been born in Glasgow. But I would say from information I have you have found the right Dorothy Stevenson.

The John Walker Stevenson sounds right also as Dorothy & Her husband
Robert Johnstone b 1848 in Dumfries.      had a son they called John Walker Johnstone. who died about the age of 12 years in England.

I found him on the 1891 Census in SALFORD with the family but no sign of him after  1891.

Presumed he died young.


Many many thanks once again for the help.


Ecclescake.

Hi again

What is interesting are the letter carriers and postboy's wife on the 1851 and 1861. Now I think it might be worth having a look at John W Stevenson and wife in the 1851 and 1841 just to check on things  :)

1851

871 ED 1 page 5  High Street, Kirkcudbright

John Walker Stevenson, 55, shoemaker, b. Kirkcudbright, KKD
Anne, wife, 57, b. Kirkmabreck, KKD (area around Creetown)
Maargaret, d, 16, b. Kirkcudbright, KKD

Not a lot of info here  :(

Maybe the 1841 will have more children.

and as I've begun....... ;D

1841

871 ED 1 page 3 High Street, Kirkcudbright

John Stevenson, 45-49, Shoemaker
Anne, 45-49
Dorothy  :), 15-19
Jessie, 8
James, 3

all born County

Also of interest on the opposite page:

High Street

Janet Garmany (?), 70
Walker Stevenson, 12
David Stevenson,10
Margaret Stevenson, 6

all born County

Now this looks very much like the Margaret Stevenson on the 1851.
Also note the Dorothy  :)

Do you think Dorothy/Dorothea's father was Walker or David?

still going  :)

1851

871 Ed 1 Page 9 High Street, Kirkcudbright

Walker Stevenson, 23, joiner
Anne, wife, 25
Anne, d, 2 mths

all born Kirkcudbright.

This Anne could possibly be the one with John W on the 1861.
