1861 census query
« on: Wednesday 23 January 08 13:30 GMT (UK) »
Hi .. I hope everyone is well. ..

I have a problem with my great grand father.. on the 1891 census glamorgan , wales.. Henry steuart. born scotland ..  born about 1850


1901 census wales glamorgan Henry Steward..  born ayshire.. about 1862

DEFINETLY  the same family..

I have his marriage certificate.. his age when he married says 38  bachelor..
mary ann it says age about 36.. she was in fact 26..

Henrys father is written it looks like mathew.. but could be mathia.. the writting is not clear..

i found the only likely family living in 11 port hill in aberdeen .. but that Henry was born abt 1847 in machar abeerdeen ..

i searched the igi and found nothing on this family.. and i searched for them in other census years and drew blank ..

i dont know if im barking up the wrong tree.. but i would greatly value any help on this matter please.. thankyou.. jui..

it does not show his mums name .. it just says any..

hi jui

going by the marriage cert. and the 1891 census it looks like c1850
birth date is correct
i take it they were married 1887/8
maybe you could post part of the marriage cert. and see if anyone
can make out the fathers name

Hi

Did he marry as STUART or STEWARD?  What year did he marry?

Mary was only 26 not 36 when she married Henry.. she previously married a lot millard .. whom we can not find a death for.. which means either she was a biggamist.. or there is no death record for him.. she also married in her maiden name weird.. but regadless the only thing to be sure about is Henrys dad was mathew or mathias.. cant find anything except the 1861 census.. mmm
     Thankyou.. jui
