Thanks for this. It’s much appreciated. I agree that this looks much like Janet Peddie Stewart  :). Still drawing a blank on the 1851 census but have checked the death certificate for Janet Taylor and this has enabled me to go further back on the Taylor side thank you.

Thanks ever so much for all your feedback, it is much appreciated  :).  Please see further info:-

Marriage Banns for James S and Catherine T were read in Moneydie and Methven.

I have details of the following children:-
Christian - born Moneydie 1821 (SP)
Elspeth - born Methven 1825 (no birth record)
Janet Peddie - born Fowlis Wester 1828 (SP)
William - born Redgorton c1832 (no birth record)
Helen - born Methven 1833 (no birth record)
John - born Fowlis Wester 1835 (SP)
James - born Redgorton 1841 (SP)

They're definitely resident in Crossgates, Redgorton until 1849.

William's marriage certificate definitely states the occupation for James, and William, as Flesher, not Slater.

Catherine was definitely born in Moneydie in 1799, not Blair Atholl.

I have considered the possibility that James, Catherine and James junior may have emigrated to Australia after 1849 but have been unable to find any evidence to support this.

I know that Elspeth, after her marriage to Angus McIntosh, lived in Perth until at least 1891.

John died in 1869 in Logiealmond and William died in 1862 in Crieff.

Many thanks
Norman

Hi Liviani,
Thanks for getting back to me.  James Stewart’s occupation was ‘Flesher’.  His son William was also a Flesher who was resident in Perth when he married.

Perthshire / Missing STEWART family – Redgorton c1850’s

Hello,

I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to help me please. I am desperately trying to find out what happened to my 3rd Great Grandparents – James Stewart and Catherine Taylor. I have searched the census records on Scotland’s People, Ancestry and Find My Past together with the death records on Scotland’s People but to no avail.

If someone else could also take a look to check I’m not missing anything or give me any ideas on what to try next, it would be very much appreciated.

Here are the basic facts:-

31 March 1799 - Catherine Taylor was born in Moneydie. Parents were John Taylor and Janet Pearson.

27 May 1821 - James Stewart married Catherine Taylor in Moneydie.

1841 Census – James and Catherine are living at Crossgates, Redgorton with 3 of their children.

9 Dec 1841 – Their final child, James Stewart, was born at Crossgates, Redgorton.

23 Feb 1849 – Their daughter Elspeth married Angus McIntosh at Redgorton. Her address was the family home at Crossgates.

9 Apr 1849 – Elspeth’s first child Cathrine was born at Redgorton.

I have been unable to find any other trace of James Stewart senior (date and place of birth unknown which is why I want to find the family on the next census so that I can go further back along James’ family line), Catherine Taylor/Stewart or James Stewart junior. I really need to find them on the 1851 census but I am not having any luck at all. I have managed to ‘trace and track’ some of their other children including my 2nd Great grandfather, William Stewart.

According to William’s marriage certificate in Dec 1857, both his parents were still alive however when William died in Nov 1862, both his parents are recorded as deceased.

Many thanks in anticipation.
