Can I just throw a spanner in the works of the Stewart lot 

I have a John A Stewart born Blair Atholl abt 1827

On the 1851 census he is with other family members..........
Alexander Stewart 50, (he's a farmer)
Margret Stewart 51, farmer's wife 
Ann Stewart 13 
Christian Stewart 10 
Isabella Stewart 11 
Margret Stewart 22, barmaid 
Catherine Fleming 48, sister in law 
Alexr Morrison 24, ag lab 

Their address is Bridge of Fender, Blair Athol.

This John married a 2x great aunt of mine Catherine Conway (Conneway)
Any relation??? says she hopefully :-)

Hi Sylvia,

In what way do you think that you are throwing "a spanner in the works".

STEWART is a very common name in Perthshire.  And given names like John, Alexander, Christian etc are also common.

Do you have any reason for thinking that the Blair Athol STEWARTs you mention from the 1851 census could be related to the Little Dunkeld STEWARTs of this thread?

Regards,

JAP

Hi Sylvia

As JAP says, Stewart is a pretty common in the area.

Have you traced this Alexander to find out his parents - or checked for a death for him. That might help to find if there is any relationship between your's and suz's families.

I've no idea JAP, hence the "spanner"  
Like you say..there's a lot of them about!

My John and Catherine had no children from what I can see on any of the census and I haven't been able to find his birth in the OPR's..his mother's maiden name according to his death cert was also Stewart.
So thereby hangs another brickwall!!

Probably just a case of using my lot for elimination purposes.

Suz,
I started this 'ball rolling' and the others were such a great help.
If you go back to the 2nd reply to your initial query, you will find that I offer a number of GRO images which you may not have.
Personal message me with your e-mail and I'll send you any missing ones.
Aye

There is also the 6th child, John, b 1855 that suz doesn't mention in her summary . His certificate is the one that gives Christian/Christiana's place of birth.

Were you able to get beyond Charles Stewart and Chirstian Scrimiger?
