possibly married a neighbour's son, James Murphy, in 1927 (yet to be confirmed).

Now confirmed and contact made with a living descendant.

Family 2

Thomas Stewart
m Sarah Donnelly 15/1/1897
at least the following children
Margaret
Lizzie
lived at Bishop Street, Cadzow in 1903

Eventually tracked Thomas and Sarah down to Little Neston in Cheshire by 1911. Working in mines there. By then, children were Maggie, Elizabeth, James, Ruth, Mary and Thomas.Young Thomas was born there, whilst sister Mary was born back in Hamilton, so family must have moved after her birth. Trail thereafter has gone cold.

The trail has 'warmed up' again. See http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=769509.0
