Midlothian / Re: WILLIAM STENHOUSE - MARGARET ???
« on: Saturday 17 February 24 11:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hi! I believe George died and was buried in Australia.

I’m related to the Stenhouse family as follows:

John Wilson Stenhouse (1874-1931) coalminer, gaoled trade union leader, shire president
Birth: 22 April 1874 at Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland, son of James Stenhouse (1854-1928), miner, and Mary Baillie, née Wilson (1853-1918). Marriage: 1899 at Minmi, NSW Australia to Janet Johnston (1881-1941). They had two daughters. Death: 30 August 1931 at Belmont, Lake Macquarie, New South Wales. Religion: Presbyterian.
Arrived in Sydney on 6 December 1878 with his parents aboard the Hanaford. Like his father, who worked at the Duckenfield and Back Creek colliery and in 1884 was a representative of the Minmi miners, John Stenhouse also became a miner.
Lived at West Wallsend from about 1889. In 1903 electoral roll, both James and John Wilson Stenhouse were recorded as miners.

Midlothian / Re: James Stenhouse of Edinburgh

Hi! I’m from some lineage of the Stenhouse family. James Stenhouse (born 1854, miner) who married my great great great grandmother Mary Baillie Wilson (born 1853). They came to Australia and had a son (John Wilson Stenhouse) who became the first mayor of Lake Macquarie, NSW, fought in many miners strikes and won a medal from Parliment. Happy to talk further if needed, but it does sound awfully confusing tracing all these Stenhouse kids!

Midlothian / Re: Temple Village Midlothian

My great great great grandparents are Mary Baillie Wilson (1853-1918) and James Stenhouse (1854-1928 miner). Mary was born in Inveresk, Midlothian, Scotland and died in 1918 in West Wallsend, NSW Australia. Unsure if there is a link here but let me know as we are tracing our family tree (it’s predominantly Scottish) and live in Newcastle, NSW Australia.
