Would SKS please take a look at the 1851 and or 1861 Census returns for Joseph STUART, Joseph was born 1838 (+/- 1 year) in Ford, Northumberland. By 1863 Joseph was married to Mary SCOTT and they had a son called James, at this time they were living in Ellingham. This may be a good plce to start looking.
I know that Joseph was illiterate and therefore the "STUART" surname is spelt a number of different ways in the census returns for:
1871- STEWART,
1881- STEAURT,
1891- STUART and
1901- STUART.
So the kind soul that does this search for me will have to take this into account.
Many thanks in advance.
