Looking for any information on the above named and or Stewart family relating to the ruthglen area thanks

Hi
You need to provide more info
Birthyear?
Parents names?
Who did she marry and when?
What info do you already have about her that could help and also prevent us wasting time duplicating info?

Hi
Is this the same person - a Bessie (Scott) Lindsay possibly marrying an Andrew Stewart (who died circa 1973)
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,580071.msg4319166.html#msg4319166
Scotlands People have such a marriage in 1938, Rutherglen. If you were to obtain the cert it would give information on her parents.

Not sure if it's the same one but, again on SP, there is a birth reg for a Bessie Scott Lindsay in 1893, Kilbarchan, Rennfrewshire. You can view the index and the cert for 1+5 credits on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
She would also be likely to show with her parents on the 1901 and 1911 censuses.

SP has Bessie Scott Stewart (other name Lindsay) dying, Rutherglen in 1973, aged 80 - so born circa 1893. This fits with the birth in Kilbarchan that I found earlier so it does look as if the family that I found on the 1901 is the correct one.

There is a marriage in 1893 in Forfar, Angus for a William Lindsay and a Margaret Kelly Scott. This looks like her parents. Not sure what they were doing in Angus as the 1901 has them b. Kilbarchan.
Note - I don't think so as there ages and occupations are different from the census :(

Bessie's birth cert has her parents as William Lindsay, warper and Maggie, m.s. McIntyre. They married August 12th 1892 according to the cert.

I have stewarts in the Rutherglen area tho whether the same ones without any names or dates is hard to tell. Not sure why this in the Renfrewshire board tho given Rutherglen is in Lanarkshire? :)

Hi Ann
It was originally in Argyll but I think it's been moved to Renfrewshire because the Bessie Lindsay (who married Andrew Stewart), the subject of the topic heading, and her family lived in Kilbarchan. She married Andrew Stewart in Rutherglen, 1938 and died there in 1973.
EST has various postings about the Stewarts - check her profile for links.
