Obit Samuel Lennox aka Samuel Derby Lennox, dod Oct 24, 1934, Bristol

[Peggy13]

I have ordered the will of Robert Stewart of Bristol who died in 1889. He was a cousin to Samuel, Mary, and Elizabeth Lennox who were living with him in 1871. I am not sure how Robert connects to the Lennox family but thinking it must be through his mother. Robert's sister Ellen says in 1911 she was from Castledawson which is not far from Wood's Chapel which is where the first children of John Lennox and Margaret Marshall were baptised. I don't know where Samuel, Mary, and Elizabeth Lennox were baptised or where the Stewart children were baptised or who their parents were.

Thanks Capetown. I am certain that Robert Stewart died in 1889, and I THINK that Mary Ann (Marion) died in 1907 and Ellen died in 1916. I could not find wills for the girls but did find one for Robert which I have ordered. I would love to know the names of the parents.
