Lanarkshire / Re: John Stevenson married Christian Ormiston January 1826, Cambuslang, lLKS, SCT

I forgot to add that Thomas STEVENSON (1807? -1876) was married to Janet YOUNG and had the following children:

John Stevenson  1838 - ?
Alexander Stevenson 1840 - 1911
Thomas Stevenson 1843-1855
Margaret Stevenson 1845 - 1908
Janet Young Stevenson 1848-1851
Barbara Henry Stevenson 1850 - ?
Janet Stevenson 1856 - ?

The names match the traditional Scottish naming pattern if Thomas' father was John (Janet's father was Alexander)

I descend from Margaret Stevenson 1845 - 1908 (who curiously moved with her husband and children to Bute sometime between 1891 and 1901)

Thanks great to discuss this!
I noticed the other Stevenson - Lochhead couple in North Bute too. 

And I wonder if the Margaret Hopkirk name on Thomas' death certificate was a red herring as perhaps as two of his Thomas' sisters had Hopkirk as a middle given name and his son wasn't sure of his gran's maiden name.  (My mum on my gran's death certificate gave my gran's mother's name as Mary McGregor born Aberdeen when she was Louisa McGregor born Ayrshire)   

I am not sure where HOPKIRK comes from - perhaps from living in Dalbeth and working on the Hopkirk estate?

Hi,

I came across this post and saw quite a bit of good info.  My STEVENSON family has been a problem.  The oldest STEVENSON I am sure of is Thomas STEVENSON 1807? - 8 Jul 1876.  His death certificate named his parents as Thomas STEVENSON and Margaret HOPKIRK.  I could not find any record of these people and wondered if the information on his death certificate is incorrect.

After much searching I believe his parents were John STEVENSON and Margaret LOCHHEAD - they were married Nov 1797 in Carmunnoch and their children were:

William STEVENSON b. 1798 Carmunnoch
Elisabeth  b. 1801 Cambuslang
John b. 1803 Cambuslang
Ann Hopkirk b. 1805 Barony
Thomas b. 1807 Glasgow
Barbara Hopkirk b. 1809 Barony
Henry B. 1811 Barony

Does anybody have any info on this John and Margaret LOCHHEAD STEVENSON?  I am not having any luck in finding their death certificates.
