I ask everyone who has done research into my long lost relatives to please forgive my many beginner's faux pas on RootsChat. To cap off all the research I now have information and confirmation on:
John Alexander Stewart, b. 07 SEPT 1867 Ballymoney, Antrim, Ireland. 05 OCT 1884 arrival Quebec City "Polynesian". 1891 Census, Changuacousy, Peel, Ont. Farm Labourer. 1901 Census Section Foreman w/railway Lethbridge, Alberta. 1911 Census New Westminster, BC Railway employee. 1916 CEF Enlistment Powell River, BC. 1919 Marriage to Daisy Kathleen Firth Wandsworth, London, England. 1921 Resident w/family South Vancouver, BC Forrester. 15 DEC 1595 death Vancouver, BC. 26 FEB 1960 burial Mountain View Cemetery, Vancouver, BC
Charles Stewart, b 22DEC 1869 Armagh, Ireland. 05 OCT 1884 Arrival Quebec City "Polynesian". 1891 Census Changuacousy, Peel, Ont. Farm Labourer. On J.A's CEF Enlistment papers 1916 Charles is noted as "Next of kin" c/o Brampton Post Office, Brampton, Ontario.
James Stewart, b 05 APR 1872 Dervock, Antrim, Ireland. 08APR 1882 arrival Halifax, Nova Scotia "Circassian", final destination Quebec City. 1891 Census Changuacousy, Peel, Ontario Farm labourer. 1911 Census Changuacousy, Peel Ont. Farm Labourer. 31 MAR 1919 Marriage to Hattie Cowan Smith York , Ont. 1921 Census Chinguacousy, Peel, Ont Farmer w/ wife and children.
I have not been able to find CEF WWI documents for either Charles or James Stewart. Charles has been difficult to trace beyond 1891.
Their older sister, Margaret Jane Stewart b. 13 APR 1865 Ballymoney, Antrim , Ireland. and I believe: 1st 1/4 1883 Ballymoney, Antrim, Ireland marriage ( I do not know to whom).
Additionally, the parents of above 4 children:
Charles Stewart (1840-APR 1881) Ireland Jane Shirlow (Sherlow, Shirley) 1837 - 1875 Ireland. 05 JAN 1865 civil marriage Ballymoney. From this marriage cert. I have Jane Shirlow's father:
Robert Shirlow b 1816 Ireland d. before SEPT 1889 Cambusnethan, Lanarkshire, Scotland. 1881 Census Cambusnethan, Lanarkshire, Scotland labourer.
Jane's mother: Jane Blake b 1817 Ireland 1881 Census and 1891 Census Camabusnethan, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
Jane's brothers: Alexander Shirlow b. 1845 Ireland. 1881, 1891, 1901Censuses mine employee Cambusnethan, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
James Shirlow b. abt 1857 Londonderry, Ireland. 1881 Census Cambusnethan, Lanarkshire, Scotland coal miner. 27 SEPT 1889 Cambusnethan marriage to Elizabeth Flood (b. 1859 Cambusnethan, Scotland). 1891 Census Cambusnethan, coal miner w/wife and child. 1901 Census Cambusnethan coal miner w/wife and 4 children.
Additionally: Charles Stewart's father: Andrew Stewart b 1812.
And I believe that Andrew Stewart's parents are: Archibald Stewart(b 1781) and Catherine Loughrey.
Through my nephew's Y-DNA analysis it is confirmed that we are descended from Walter fitz Alan (1106- June 1177) the First High Steward of Scotland. We are members of The Ancient and Royal Stewart Projects at FTDNA Now all I have to do is fill in the missing information from the 12th C to the 19th C!
