Lovely to be in touch with my dad's family it has always been my ambition. I will search out documents. I'm sure I have my grandad birth certificate too. One question you might be able to answer for me. Was the name Murray a middle name? Not clear on that. 😃

Hi Debbie lovely to meet you and Helen. Yes I have the original death certificate my dad signed it as NOK. I will go on the site and check out the family tree thank you. I can send you a photo of my dad bless him. I'm going to go through all my parents black and white photos. I'm sure there must be photos from way back. I remember when my grandfather died although I never met him. My dad went home to Duntocher and was away for my sixteenth birthday which was 7/12/76. I did meet uncle John several times and Wally which was probably William once years ago when they come to England to stay with us. My sister Kelly is due home today from Turkey I can't wait to share this good news with her. X

Hi Helen thank you for that history. Dad and John always thought they were half brothers?? So Mary Sweeny was the second wife!! I actually met her then when dad took us home to duntocher.wow didn't realise he had more sisters. Now I might be a bit confused but somewhere I thought my dad had a twin?? Probably confused. It's so lovely to see all the children's names together. Was that the names in age order? I can't wait to show my sister all this information. Thank you again. X

Hi Helen. My dad lived in London where he met my mum Moira got married in the late 50's and had me a few years later. He then moved to Hertfordshire where he stayed until he died. I'm not sure if my dad was one of the eldest or youngest of the brothers maybe in between. Although my dad's name was Hugh he was always known as Tom for as long as I can remember. My dad had three girls. I do remember writing to one of my cousin's in dontocher I think her name was Caroline or Carolyn Stewart. That's strange the death certificate states Mary Meecan as wife number two. When dad died we tried to notify his family mainly John but failed. I'm sure dad said his nephew Thomas Stewart was a priest we tried through the priesthood to notify his family that also failed. I have always wanted to be in touch with my Scottish family so are we second cousin's? X

Hi Helen. I have Thomas Stewart's death certificate. Thomas was married twice. Mary Sweeny my father's mother and Mary Meechan. My dad came to live in England as a young man. He had brothers I know of Barney John James Wally and I believe maybe Arthur. I also think he had two sisters. Sadly my dad died in 2007. My dad was a very kind man and had a passion for Animals which he must of inherited from his father then passed down the legacy to us his children. I know my dad went home to Duntocher a few times when we were younger and took us with him once. I have always wanted to know my Scottish roots and am pleased to have found this site. X

I've managed to contact my Cousin Jim, Jim is the son of Aunt Cissie (1st daughter of Thomas Stewart) Cissie is on the left while Sadie 2nd Daughter is on the right). Both now deceased. He said it was OK to post this photo on the sight; hopefully there are cousins out there somewhere. (Children of Thomas Stewart & Cissie Sweeney) Any news about the Stewarts will be very welcome.

Hello my name is Jackie. My grandfather is Thomas Stewart who was married to Mary Sweeny. Their son Hugh is my father. I was so pleased to see the posts looking for Stewart's of Duntocher. I don't know much about my Scottish family but was delighted to see photos of my grandfather Thomas. Any relatives I have in Scotland I would love to hear from.
