Am looking for info. on the Stewarts of Shambellie. I have just learned of that connection. A Marianne/Marion Stewart married George Mackenzie. they had a daughter Ann Mackenzie who married Rev. William Thorburn of Troqueer. He is my gggggrandfather. Marianne also had a sister Lilias Stewart who married David Staig who was Provost of Dumfries. Any help of info. would be greatly appreciated. I understand that there is a Shambellie Museum.
Thank you.

In case it is of any interest - I have a book inscribed by Mrs Marianne Mackenzie of Dumfries which she gave as a wedding present to Annie J Addyman who married a man called Hobson in 1882. Annie was from Yorkshire but about 10 years after her wedding came to live in Richmond Upon Thames. The book must have been expensive and is "The Life of Christ" by FW Farrar DD. There is something else inscribed which I can't make out. It may be the residence of Marianne in Dumfries http://ons.addyman.homeip.net/ppl/1/3/b95e0dd48639c74410be601831.html
