I was just wondering if any of the stewarts your researching had desendands in plymouth ? .. Ive just recently found out that some of our stewarts went to Ireland ..
thanks for any info

What date was the marriage? Do you know what denomination the Stewarts were? Any idea when James Stewart was born (this could make a diffence as to what records will be available)?
No such townland in County Londonderry called 'Ture' but there are 4 'Culmore' townlands: Culmore & Culmore Level (Templemore Parish) and Culmore Lower & Culmore Upper (Tamlaghtfinlagan Parish- near Ballykelly).
P.S. where is 'Kennedy Street'?
