Hi
Most of my 'Stewarts' seem to be Border people from the 1850's onwards. My Perth search was just another stab in the dark at trying to knock my brick wall down.
Will help if I can but a lady called 'Ev', [if we are still lucky enough to have her help] is much, much, much better than I am.

Hi Ev
My father arrived here in 1939 with his Grandmother & Uncle [skeleton in the cupboard we found out when he - my dad - died]
Our family -Stewart - has been traced back to the 1860's in Wilton Dean [Hawick] BUT Mathew Mitchell was born in Midlothian to Robert & Isabella [Keay] Stewart.

Another curiosity is that Mathew was not born till 1839 but his parents were married in 1824, this makes me think that the family which includes the boys is the correct family WHICH in turn leaves me still looking for Robert. ::)

Is 'Mathew' an unusual forename?
