Perthshire / Re: john 'laird' stewart -tenant or owner ?
« on: Monday 26 March 12 20:34 BST (UK)  »
Hi Elwyn.... thank you for the great information.... will go to my local libary and see if they can bring in a copy of the book of which you speak...
From the info I have read so far yes not all those who left  for canada did by force...the area where my 3rd grt grandfather was  however cleared wholesale to make way for  sheep farming plus the as you rightly so pointed out the parcels of land by the time john stewart left had been 'sub-divided' over and over...thanks again for your great info and pls stay in touch
cheers

hi.... YES found much info by doing  just exactly  that research last night.. :) what happened to  the scots was very much what happened to the irish.... they were packed up wholesale and shipped out.. :-
There are recorded a couple of clearances: one in 1832-33 where 30 families left of their own accord.
But betwenn 1841-45 there was a mass forced relocation...
I have yet to establish  when john stewarts and the crerar's left for canada  other than  they may have left from glasgow..
as for johns stewart's father and mother ...nothing so far.
the incredible history of scotland is  fasincating ! :)
It is truly a miracle they survived the trip to canada let alone what they HAD to do when they arrived there...
thanks for getting back to me and  all your help  :)
cheers

Perthshire / john 'laird' stewart -tenant or owner ?
« on: Thursday 22 March 12 22:21 GMT (UK)  »
have seen postings where john was a tenant  on an 6 acre on the breadalbane estate... thought the name 'laird' meant that you owned the property and were not tenants...could someone please  clarify this for me?
thankyou

I looked on google earth and there is not that much  differance in distance between Glenquaich and Callander....

the john stewart I have married Catherine crerar in 1818... both died in ontario canada
they had 8 children...Peter ' patty' stewart is the direct line  to elizabeth stewart  who married joseph dyer ...
