Stewarts of Perthshire - Clunie, Caputh, 1700s
« on: Tuesday 30 November 21 14:52 GMT (UK) »
Hello everyone
My father's Stewart's come from Perthshire, specifically Clunie in 1770, and possibly Caputh (1745).
(I accidentally replied to an old 2017 post yesterday in my enthusiasm).
Is anyone currently exploring Stewarts from that region? My family is really stuck on an elusive James. He is the father of William born Clunie 1770, m Isobel Dow; John born Clunie 1772 m Amelia Jackson, died Ontario; (I saw a 2017 thread about him), David born Clunie 1774; Janet born Clunie 1779.  My direct ancestor is William born in Clunie 1770. Would love some help with identifying their father etc. Thanks so much every one.

I note the 1770 baptism of William father James, however if I have the correct family for William below, I wonder how you established James was his father?

Children of WILLIAM STEWART  & ISABEL DOW/E

Clunie - JANET 1798, Unknown 1801, ELISABETH 1803……….. WILLIAM 1817

William Stewart born 26/07/1770 Clunie.

Other children listed as being from a James Stewart:

Margaret 19/02/1768
John 02/08/1772
David 28/04/1774

Moving the dates back a bit there is:

Andrew 15/01/1764
Alexander 05/03/1763

Then there is a child with no first name listed ... but it lists a mother:

STEWART -----
JAMES STEWART/MARGARET ANDERSON
U
08/08/1760

Not certain of course that this is your James Stewart...but worth looking into.

Also... a James Stewart married in Caputh in 1755

Alan, that is fantastic, thank you. For some reason it never occurred to us to move the dates back a bit.
I had seen the James Stewart/Margaret Anderson marriage but thought it was too early. These additional children would explain that.
I have also see a James Stewart born in Caputh in 1745, but couldn't tie him to anything. Of course he would only be 15 in 1960 so clearly not him.
I am off to explore those additional children of James Stewart. Thank you!

Alan I found Margaret and Andrew's birth certificates on ScotlandsPeople (not that I can decipher them to see whether James is "of Westergourdie", unfortunately, but not Alexander, so far, or the James Stewart/Margaret Anderson child. Sometimes I wonder if my search terms are not right. I will keep looking, and for the death of Andrew. Thank you so much. We have been looking for this James for several decades and have renewed our search, now that we ourselves have become so much older.

Andrew 1764's baptism cert is very hard to read. Its the entry near the top and only says:

Andrew Stewart:  John Stewart had a son baptized named Andrew

This may be a strange coincidence?

WILLIAM STEWART    JAMES STEWART/MARGARET ANDERSON    01/08/1760   
Lethendy and Kinloch

Note the date.

ALEXANDER STEWART    JAMES STEWART/MARGARET ANDERSON    05/03/1763   
Lethendy and Kinloch
