Have a photo, found amongst my mothers things, on the back says Aunt Mary Stevenson..have no idea who she is and have not been able to trace,  If I can work out how to post the photo (help needed) will do so.  Maybe someone can recognise her.

Hello Everyone!

I stumbled on this site today when searching for my John Stevenson b. 1763 St. Ninians.  You're all talking about Stevensons from the generation after my John ... wondering if these are John's children?  Here is my line from John Stevenson forward to my great grandfather John Richard b. 09 April 1857, Perthshire (probably Muthill):


1 John Stevenson b 30 Nov 1763, St Ninians
      married 5 Feb 1786 at St. Ninian's, Stirling, Scotland
 + Margaret Rattray chr. 02 Aug 1765

{John married 2nd Janet ___ 14th Apr 1799 ... their children are listed at the bottom}

        John STEVENSON and Margaret RATTRAY had the following children:
James           20 Feb 1787
Robert          17 Aug 1788       m. 18 March 1808 to Jean Forsyth
John              13 March 1790
Janet           19 March 1792
Margaret        12 March 1794    m. Alexander MATHER

  2  Margaret STEVENSON b. 12 March 1794 St. Ninian's, Stirling,  SCT

      + Alexander MATHER b. ? in Deanston by Dune, Scotland

     3  Catherine MATHER b. 1823 Deanston by Dune, Scotland
          + George RICHARD b. 1818  Muthill, Scotland

          4 John RICHARD b. 09 April 1857 Perthshire, Scotland  d. 07
              Sept 1938 Lincoln, Lancaster Co, NE USA
                   married 23 Jan 1885  Scotland
          + Helen Taylor b. 10 Jan 1859 Auchterarder, Scotland d. 02 Feb
                    1920 Lincoln, Lancaster Co, NE USA

 John and Janet Stevenson had the following children:
                Alexander 03 Jan 1800
                William 27 Feb 1804
                 Hugh 21 Jan 1806
                Catherine 10 June 1807

I'm excited to have found others searching for this family!!  I have a Family Bible printed 1799 Edinburgh, that has a handwritten list of John's children and their birthdates.  I've attached a photo of the "lineage" page for you.

Hi,

Are you on Ancestry.co.uk?

I have James Stevenson born abt 1775 married Janet ? in about 1799. I have 3children for them:
1. WilliamSteveson born abt 1801
Ephemia Stevenson born abt 1809
2. Janet Stevenson born abt 1819

1. William died on the 3rd Nov 1879 aged 78 in Bannockburn, it has his parents as James Sevenson and Janet ? He married Jean Cowan in 1834 St Ninians
2. Janet died on the 13th Mar 1895 in Kilmadock and her death cert says the same as William's.

I hope i may have got some of this wrong because it would be great to know more about this part as i have had trouble trying to find anything. I'm going to look on ScotlandsPeople again and see if i can find something what you have said will help.

Thank you for attaching the pictures. Have you searched any of the other children's lines?

Your great grandmother Annie Patrick Lawson Stevenson ms Allan had a sister Mary who married my mother`s brother David Wilson Lister. They all lived back to back with each other in Whins of Milton. Your gt grandmother lived in Duke Street next door to my Grandmother Ellison Kerr Lister and my Uncle David Wilson Lister lived back to back with his mother(my grandmother). All deceased now.

Regarding the William Stevenson birth I have checked on SP and found two registered in St.Ninians at that time. One was born in 1913 and one in 1914 possibly cousins. Stat.Births 488/01 0361 and 488/01 0272. Unfortunately no image available but you can order.
