Stewart of Garth, Perth Scotland Lookup
« on: Wednesday 12 March 08 07:21 GMT (UK) »
Robert Stewart born 1800 + or - two years at Garth, Perth, as stated in the 1851 census Edinburgh Midlothian. Could some kind person please do a lookup for this man - nothing in the Fische other than lots of 'Robert' & no mention of Garth for Perth. TIA  ::)

Sorry,late at night for me when request sent.  :-[
Would like a Birth /Baptism/or Christening for the above gentleman. From the 1851 Edinburgh Census his sons were Robert, Henry, John & Mathew [my direct line], later a daughter called Margaret. As with most family history's the request to Perthshire is a big  ???.
Regards & TIA   :)

Found in 1861 too - railway porter living with wife and all the kids you mention - in Rose St Edinburgh says he was born 1793 in Gask! Bit of a variation eh? Will see if I can get his dob for you...
