Aberdeenshire / Re: WATSON/SHEWAN - Peterhead

Thank you so much for all of the information and help.  Definitely some more to go on as I work further backwards and find out more.  I'm surprised I missed the info on the Wellington Cty site as I've used that for other people in my ancestry. 
 
The Shewan information does match with some of the items I have found here and will continue to verify the links taking me back that far and further. 

Thanks again!

Thanks, I do have that information from Canadian records (and from very limited family oral history).  Another possibility is that his father's name is "Conrad".  Family do indicate that he was from Aberdeen but again, a very limited oral history.  I'm still piecing things together and am at least happy to eliminate David from the list.
Thanks again!

Thanks for the reference and information. Too bad that it does not seem a match but I'll keep going.

Hi,

I realize this thread is old, and I'm just starting my research, but would be appreciative of any information on David Shewan who married a Jessie Thompson. 

I have David Shewan (unconfirmed) as the father of John Keir Shewan (1847-1903 from Aberdeenshire), married a Mary Jane Bent (England).  They came to Canada (about 1864) and settled in Minto/Wellington.

There is also a possible Alexander Shewan (and Elizabeth/Eliza Chalmers) who could be the parents of David but this lead seems less likely.

David would be my great, great great grandfather on my father's side.
Any information would be appreciated.  Thx in advance,
b.
