thank you very much for your reply, i get more confused every day there are so many hugh and james stewarts, i made a mistake on my last post the hugh i am looking for would be born around 1853, as you can see by the certificate, this is what i know my grandfather john/jock stewart m rachel douglas was born in kieth banfshire in 1910 his father hugh stewart m jean/jane whyte, hugh was supposed to be burried in the grounds of dr greys hospital in elgin they had a son james/jimmy who was born around 1871 so we think hugh was married before as it is i would imagin to big of an age gap i think there was 2 sisters i will ask my father for more info and come back later by for now

Hi cookie
If you take a close look at the cert you will see hugh was married before as it says widower on it.
Dottie
-
yes i see that now, we always suspected he was married before as there is to much difference between hugh and brother james, i have another certificate, i also have a death certificate for catherine mother of hugh stewart but it is for 1880, on hughs marriage cert it dosnt say deceased is that usual ? i believe hugh and janes family were james my grandfather john/jock and 2 sisters mary and nelly
-
sorry there were 3 sons james , john , and hugh and 3 daughters mary nelly and kate. also if john/my grandad was born in 1910 that means his father hugh was 57 when john was born hugh jnr was born around 1912 so hugh snr would have been around 60 the mother jane would be about 42 possible i suppose?

Hi cookie
What other cert do you have? i am not sure why they would say the father was dead but not the mother. Can you post the other certs you have?
When I go to edinburgh next week I will have alook for his first marriage.
When did your hugh die?
Dottie

sorry am not sure when hugh died but heres the other cert
-
supposed to be burried in the grounds of dr greys hospital elgin?
That surprises me, because I have never heard of there being a burial ground at Dr Gray's Hospital. There are certainly no records that I know of.
The index at SP says that a Hugh Stewart, aged 62, died in Elgin in 1913. Have you checked this death certificate on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk? The age is a year or two out, but that's not unusual.
-
most of what i know comes from what the family have told me, so i think there has been a mistake and he proberbly died there and been burried some where else, i am told hughs daughter nelly was married to peter williamson i am in touch with the family regularly trying to get any info i can but as i have found what people remember sometimes cant be relied on

Hi Cookie3,
Sorry I cannot add to your info on the Stewarts but I'd like to point out that you're not supposed to post a full copy of the certificates online because of copyright issues.Try & scan only the relevant part that you're querying/debating & that should be ok.There are topics on this subject on rootschat!
Regards,
flst

Hi cookie3
Sorry could not find a 1st marriage for hugh, but I found his death. He died 8th march 1913 at dr gray's hospital it was registered by his brother james stewart he stayed at garmouth sorry I could not find any more info for you. Dottie.
-
thank you very much for your help, we didnt know he had a brother james, well i suppose thats why hugh called one of his son,s james, dont suppose there was any mention of his age ? so i could try to trace his family.
-
Hi cookie,
I dont know if your confused or me? you say in 1 of your other posts that hugh had a brother james and now your saying you didn't know hugh had a brother james. Have I been looking at the wrong hugh? The 1 I found was 62 no age for james.
Dottie.
