Cemetery near Doune

[Dave106]

I noticed a posting by "monks09" offering to search local cemeteries near Doune.
If this person or some one else desires to help me, I would appreciate the effort.
Also there are two buildings in Doune that I would like clarification on - one being a location known as "Stewart's Ld" in the 1841 census.
Looking forward to hearing from some one.
Any assistance is welcomed.
Thanks

Hi ev:

Thanks for adding Perthshire - I realized after the posting, that would be useful.

I am searching for information about William Anderson b. abt 1813 and d. before 24 Mar 1846.
I believe he was living in Doune, Perthshire in or before 1846.

His spouse is Janet "Stewart" Anderson who I have found in census records to 1881, and living on Main Street in Doune. I have no info on her death.

I am thinking the only way I might further my knowledge is to find a grave marker that may give basic details. I do not have plans to travel to Scotland.

Also there are two buildings in Doune that I would like clarification on - one being a location known as "Stewart's Ld" in the 1841 census.

"Stewart's Ld" would be Stewart's Land. A lot of buildings in the 19th and 20th century were named after the owner and called "land", i.e. Ross's Land, Stewart's Land.

PS Just had a Google at Stewart's Land in Doune, and these may be different to my first reply. They may have been given by the Stewarts, i.e. James VI. See the following link,

Thanks Tom:

The land grant record sort of leaves a lot of possible locations for "Stewarts Land", doesn't it.
I am thinking it is near Doune and this is what I am hoping to get clarification on.
However, maybe this is not going to be possible and, in the whole scheme of things, it does not really matter.

Thanks for your interest.

I am interested to find the history of a building on Main Street West (south side) in Doune, Perthshire that was a grocery store in 1851, operated by Janet Anderson, and had accommodation on the upper floor(s).

Hi Dave,

I have read it on Ancestry, it just says Main Street, whether the Scotland People website entry gives you more info, is something you may have to check out. I checked out Wills in Perthshire, sometimes they give addresses, but no luck.

Thanks Tom

When I first found the census record on Ancestry, I could view the original record, but now that option is not available to me.

I will check Scotland's People although I currently do not have credits.

Have I replied in the proper manner, to your latest information?

Hi Dave,

Not sure what you mean, by replying in the proper manner. I think so, Dave.

Ancestry do not give actual Scottish certificates, they are only transcriptions, so do not know what original certificate you viewed.

Was Janet Anderson widowed? Do you have any more details?
