Margaret Stewart/Connelly/King

[patvp1]

Hi Ken Doig - Another oddity  re my g/gran Jean Stewart born abt 1857 daughter of Robert Stewart and jean Ferguson, have just accessed the 1911 census (she married james McKay in 1875) always known as Jean or Jane, now on this census she is down as HELEN.J.S.McKay, the address is correct (Cairnstone farm cottages) plus age, children etc all check out..but HELEN ?? am trying to double check..thought you may have some idea.

As usual, all the best Patvp

Re King/Connelly's will check and get back..Pat

Hi Ken - My g/gran Jean Stewart/McKay died 27 Aug 1948, Dunblane. GRO348/00 0031 age 96.  Informant was George Morrison son-in-law, address at the time Ramoyle.
Am still trying to find out where she is buried ??

Regards Patvp

I would reckon Pat Dunblane cemetary.  Do you have an address for Ramoyle which is a street in Dunblane that would have been the main route in from the North before the present road, we lived in a flat there when we first got married

Hi Kenny - It's got me stumped..cannot find anything in memento mori for Dunblane..any idea who to contact ??James her husband died 1916 at Meldrum Kincardine and can't find anything for him either thought they mayhave been buried together..BUT where 

Regards Pat

Only thing i can think of Pat is to try Stirling Council Cemetarys dept  I would also try Perth (Perth & Kinross) as we come under Stirling now but pre 1976 we were under Perth & Kinross council.

Hi all - Still looking for birthplace of my elusive Robert Stewart.  To recap...Died 1898 (GRO362/00 0018, parents listed as Robert Stewart & Ann Denovan, they married 1821 St Ninians.
1829 - Robert is a "tanner" adds 166 Canongate, Edinburgh, info on birth cert of son Duncan born 1829 (GRO685/02/0340 0337) his sister Jessie Graham Henderson Stewart born 1833 (GRO685/02 0340 0585) both baptized St Cuthberts...
Robert Stewart snr born 1790 Campsie, Stirling.
Begining to wonder if I am not barking up the wrong tree (pun) even tried using the Denovan surname in case he was illegit..nothing doing  have no idea where to look next, still an on-going mystery.
All the best. Patvp

Hi Pat,

Probably won't help much but have you tried the variant Stuart & also Donovan for surname searches as whoever registered the deaths may not have known the correct spelling
