RE Colonel Charles Stewart who might have died in Spain, this is an extract of his will from PRONI T700/1:

Will of Charles Stewart of Ballintoy co Antrim Col
1st son Archibald clk
2nd son Toby
3rd son Richard Stewart
4th son Alexander
Daughters Rose and Jane
Bute crest and arms

This is not dated, but the Diocese of Connor index says "D of Bond 1711 D. 1703".  I'm not sure what that means...?  PRONI D2225/7/42 says Charles Stewart died in 1703.

I’ve not yet come across anything to link the Stuarts of Ballyhivistock with the Stewarts of Ballintoy (etc), but yes they probably are related somewhere along the way. 

I’m not descended from either family unfortunately.

The one in Spain died years later... 1711

[Gilby]

The 1711 date may still be correct, I'm not sure.  The Diocese of Connor index says "D of Bond 1711 D. 1703".

Henry Irwin Stuart was born on 23 March 1853 at Ballyhivistock, near Dervock in north County Antrim, one of twin boys. He and his brother James were the third....

So my hunch was correct...they are the Roscommon ones I posted on this thread or the other thread

bet my hunch about Ormsbys being from Sligo will be too!

I think I need to write this all down in a book or else my head will explode.

So, where is everyone in the Stuart/Stewart/Steuart family? I supposedly descend from Irwin Stuart and Elizabeth McDaniel. I presume he was born in Ireland since his mother was Jane Irwin who was supposedly from Roscommon and was the daughter of Christopher Irwin and Sarah Ormsby.

Then Irwin Stuart, his wife Elizabeth, and his sister who married Elizabeth's brother Charles, all moved to Derrykeighan. Is this right? I've had the hardest time with these Stuarts and trying to keep them all straight.

I thought I had Sarah's Will a few nights ago but it went to Co. Meath and to g/children there..no Irwin mentioned.

[hallmark]

What year did the wealthy Dobbs die?

So Christopher Irwin married Sarah Ormsby somewhere, at sometime, she left a Will in 17--, and they had a daughter Jane Irwin at sometime maybe in Roscommon..who then married a Stewart, somewhere, whenever and they had a son Irwin at some stage and he married Elizabeth McDaniel and ended up in Antrim.

Is this correct?
