Hi, looking for anyone who may have Ann Donald Stewart, born 14 Nov 1914, or Mary Ann Reith Stewart, born 17 Feb 1916 in their family tree.  They were the daughters of Mary Ann Munro Webster and my Great Uncle Francis Stewart who were married on 1 August 1914 at Cove Bay Hotel Hall, Nigg.  Francis served with the Gordon Highlanders in WW1 and died on 23 Feb 1919, aged 31, at home in Cove Bay.  His widow, Mary Ann, died on 2 June 1932, aged 38, at 98 Union Grove.  Francis is buried in a CWGC grave at Nigg and I am looking for the burial place of Mary Ann.  I would also love to see any photos of Francis or Mary Ann.  Thanks in advance.

Mary Ann Stewart married to a Francis and died in 1932 was 38 years old (birth about 1894).  According to her death reg she was Mary Ann Munro Stewart daughter of Adam Webster and Elizabeth Black Robertson. 

Btw...her actual birth was 11 Jun 1893

Francis 1919 death reg lists the above as his widow and her father Adam was the informant.

Is this who you seek?

There is no obit in British Newspaper Archives covering her death.  Although she died 98 Union Grove in Aberdeen her residence was Seaview Terrace Cove Bay in Kincardineshire.  The informant was her brother Alex Webster and he lived at #39 Cove Bay.  I mention this because it would widen the search for her grave.  She might also have been buried with her parents. 

Her brother Alexander Turriff Webster (there were two) b 1902 and died in 1988 in Nigg you might have better luck finding Mary/Ann through him.  He was buried at the Portlethen Cemetery.  His details can be found here https://www.deceasedonline.com/servlet/GSDOSearch His obit was in the newspaper.

Hi, thanks very much for the info.  I have a BNA subscription so I'll look into this.  Are you related to the family?

I am not related.  If you find an entry in the BNA for the two sisters mentioned in the Thank You to the Minister and to those who attended Alex's service perhaps they have family mentioned which you could find.
