Stevenson's from Bannockburn

[Chris9647]

I am still trying to locate my great grandmothers family that were supposedly from Bannockburn.  Story goes that Isabella Stevenson was born 20 September 1852 (give or take a few years) in Bannockburn.  We have her father’s name as John but no verification of that, no name for mother.  She migrated to the US according to our US Census is 1867-8 and was married in Will County, Illinois in 1870 to James Baird.  She had a nephew named William Bruce that was born in Illinois but keep coming to dead ends. I know that isn’t much information but any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Hello Everyone
I'm new to this forum and to researching the Stevenson Family Tree in general. My grandfather  John Stevenson was born 1899 in Plean in 1899 and was a son of Mary Crawford and David Eadie Stevenson, son of Elizabeth Johnston and Nicol Stevenson, son of Isabella Miller (possibly Millar) and William Stevenson, son of Hamilton Andrew and Robert Stevenson who were married 31 August 1783 according to parish records.  I have no other details for Robert Stevenson and my Stevenson family tree research stops with him. By chance, I came across this thread and very interesting it is indeed.  I would like to know when Robert was born, when he died, who his parents were, who his brothers and sisters were and in general, if anyone has Stevenson Family Tree information beyond Robert Stevenson ie how far back has anyone been able to trace this line.  I would be grateful for any help and advice you can give me.

Thanks and regards

Perhaps I've missed the information, but I haven't seen anything additional on the ancestors of Alexander STEVENSON (1806) and Janet Eva CAMPBELL (1807), married perhaps on 22 Apr 1832. 

I'm trying to make a solid connection to Robert STEVENSON (1827) who was married to Jessie Brodie McINTOSH (1832) on 4 Apr 1958, and then on to the rest of my Stevenson tree (Tilbury East Ontario, Highland Park Michigan).  Has anyone been able to bridge this generation?

Hello everyone! Does anybody have any information on a Joseph WILSON who married a Janet STEVENSON / HART (Stevenson being maiden name, Hart  from marriage to John HART who died overseas). Together they had one son in 1924 named Joseph WILSON and Janet was originally from Bannockburn and resided in Sink cottage as a girl. I have got quite a lot of information for Janet but I cannot get further as of yet for Joseph WILSON other than a name. My father in law can remember he worked in the mines and was a keen fisherman who also got into the local newspaper due to fishing, from Janet's age I speculate he was born between 1880 and 1890. I would love to get back to the last census he was in.Any help will be greatly appreciated by the Wilson family!

Wow the information and pictures on this thread is amazing 
My partner is related to the STEVENSON family through Janet STEVENSON ( William Stevenson and Mary FORSYTHS daughter.) Janet Married a Joseph WILSON and I cannot find any information about him, has anybody had a dabble on Janet's marriages at all? They had a son in 1924 named Joseph which is my partners grandad, I would love to get further to find out where the Wilson's came from.
