Thanks. I’m still struggling to find John or Mary on the Scottish census before he moved to Middlesborough. I’ll keep trying

Great find John. I agree this has to be them. I’ll try and find out when John Stewart senior died.

Just adding link to other recent post as some of the info was already pointed out to OP www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=869698.0

John Stewart, potential father to John William, was showing as deceased when son married early 1880s.  He was a labourer by occupation, going by the earlier references for him. He got together with widow Kesson/Crumley. There are some potential census entries for a John Stewart in Renfrew censuses. The 1881 census is the first to be found so far, with Mary and son John. No sign of them as yet found in 1861 or 1871. The court papers (see the notes from the Register of Corrected Entries on the other thread) do state that Mary was in Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire at the time of the paternity action in 1860 and John Stewart in Renfrew.

I might be clutching at straws here but this 1871 scotland census probably is a bit of a mess. I wonder what the original image records as John jnr's occupation.

Unfortunately on that census the wife and daughter are both called Grace. I’ll still check out the death certificate

Ok, don't use anymore credits. I'm off to bed, other's may be able to help overnight.

That’s ok thanks for all your help. I did check the death certificate but it doesn’t seem like the right one either.
