COMPLETED thanks! Census data 1881 - 1901 Thornhill Perthshire
« on: Wednesday 16 May 12 12:55 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for a family I believe may be related to my own branch of the Stewarts.  They are David and Elizabeth [Sinclair] Stewart residing in the village of Thornhill parish of Kincardine Perthshire who were married in Dunblane 1879.   

I have no idea of the ages of either of the couple but they had children (that I know of) as follows:
John 1879 (d 1881), Mary 1886,  David 1888, Charles [Sinclair] Stewart 1896 (d 1915 WW1)

Any census data on this family would be gratefully received, thank you.  :)

added:  David Stewart may have been born a son of John S and Mary Woodrow/Woodruff/Stewart in 1854 so possibly would have been 27 in 1881.

Thanks for that ev, looks like them in that census and good find for the death of baby John.  Were they still in Dunipace in 1891?  I'm trying to trace them up to 1901 to see if the families match.

Obviously from the MI I have a copy of David's mother considered them "of Thornhill" naming several of their children  ;D or maybe they went back there later. 

Good to have another Sinclair to trace her family though, so thanks very much for that.

Oh I've just realised Elizabeth and Mary Ann must have been twins if they are both 29.  As if this family didn't have enough twins!!   :D

Nope! Elizabeth was telling fibs she was christened Feb 1849!   :P

I think you were right enough ev Mary Ann was christened in 1851.  Their father was John but no mother named, drat!   :(

Oh wow Monica that's great.  So they did return to Thornhill, and there are more children - fabulous!   ;D  Thank you so much for that.

Now to find the last child young Charles Sinclair Stewart bn in 1896 who sadly died in WW1.

If you would be so kind as to look again, are they still in Thornhill in 1901 Monica?
