Midlothian / Re: Burial Index's for Newbattle and Newton

Carol,

Thanks for the information on Jane Charleston.  It gives me more leads to follow.  Yes, I'm sure that Janet Ramage Stewart died June 15, 1851.  I believe that would have been after the 1851 census.  We were told that she is buried at Newbattle but in an unmarked grave and since it was before 1855 I guess there is no record of the exact site.  I had hoped that there might be some record of where unmarked graves were placed.  My sister and I are planning to visit the cemetery when we travel to Scotland this year.  The Jean Stewart that appears in the 1861 census would be Lewis Stewart's second wife that he married in March, 1852.  She and his children from both marriages except for Jane Charleston followed him to the United States in 1869 and she and Lewis are buried in a cemetery in Iowa.   Thank you for your help.  It's is really appreciated. 

Judy

Thanks for looking, Carol.  Janet Stewart's maiden name was Ramage.  Her husband's name was Lewis Stewart.  He was a miner and they lived in a place called Brewers Bush in the 1850s.  Most of the family left for the United States in the late 1860s but one daughter, Jane, stayed in Scotland.  We believe her married name was Jane Charleston and her husband's name was Adam.  They may have been buried in Newbattle after 1855.

I am looking for a record of the burial site for Janet Stewart, who died in 1851 and i believe was buried in the"old" Newbattle churchyard.  Can you help me with this?  I am new to this site so don't know if I am doing this correctly.
