Midlothian / Re: Burial Index's for Newbattle and Newton
« on: Monday 08 February 10 03:54 GMT (UK) »
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.
