Stewart - Paisley 1871 Census

[bates]

I have a Christina Stewart born 1848 place unknown
who married David Connell 7 June 1872 in Paisley.

Can anyone please tell me if there was a Stewart family living in Abbey Paisley in the 1871 Census PERHAPS with a father William Stewart (b 1814) and a mother Margaret nee Cragness

Many thanks

Bates, on their marriage certificate, it says that her mother was Jessie Jeanie , maiden surname Burns.

Here's the detail. Not all because of Copyright:

I see it's Jeanie not Jessie

That is them alright

Davids parents are Samuel and Jean.

David's first two children are also Samuel and Jeanie.

So if William Stewart is deceased where is he from?  Would they be on the 1861 Census for paisley

I am looking for the photo I have of Christina and Davids graves....

You could try looking for the marriage of a William Stewart and a Jean Burns circa 1850 or before. Christina could be a younger child.

On the 1881 Christina is shown as being born Kilsyth, Stirlingshire.

Could we perhaps start again:

Do you definitely know that David Connell and Christina Stewart are your ancestors?

If so, we should be looking for a William and Jeanie Stewart in Stirlingshire on the 1851 census.

yes they are definitely my nanas granparents.  She was the one who left me a photo of their graves.
