Hi
My John Stewart was born in 1738 in Selkirk and died in 1815 in Durham. He wed in 1789 to Patience Brown. His childrens 1798, 1800 and 1803 baptisms say John was a native of Selkirk. When he wed in 1789 he was a widower. I think he had a son by his previous wife born in 1777 called James who I think died as a baby.
I want to identify his first wifes name and when they married as the baptism just lists the fathers name. It was the same parish he wed Patience at in 1789 and had children at. I think their first son was listed as the 2nd or 3rd son of John Stewart so he must have had a few kids by his first wife.
If he was born in 1738 he must have wed about 1760ish.
Ben
