To Fergie38. Annie was married to my late cousin John Davidson, who was known as Jackie. They lived in St. Ninians. Would it be possible for you to PM me anything you have on the family. Thanks.

I thought that this could be something that some of you might find of interest.

This link  http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee209/38fergie/Stevenson/  (if it works) will show some photos of Stevenson headstones that I took last year in Bannockburn Cemetery.

Found this in my computer files and I'm sure you will like it



Someone in the family could well have the original photo.

Hi Robert
Just saw your pic - thats the 1 I tried to post on this page but was unable to (due to me being rubbish with computers). I got the newspaper clipping from my mum & dad & they also have the original pic. I assume they inherited it from my grannie. I don't know if theres any others out there?
Best wishes

Hi Liz

I'm fine how are you? I went to the section i wanted to ask about my family so like this one is in Stirlingshire and then i clicked on new topic then wrote in my information. I know how you feel i was really glad when i found this site it has helped a lot.

I went into Edinburgh when i was last up and i went to the records place there and i found William Stevenson birth certificate his d.o.b is 15th Sep 1913.

I had put my genealogy on hold since last fall and hadn't noticed the replies.  Please accept my apologies for not replying.

Robert, It would be great if we could find a connection somewhere for Alexander and William!  Somewhere I read that Alexander was a blacksmith in Scotland if that helps at all.
Hazel, about your reply #15, thanks so much for trying to find parents for my Alexander.  I think the family tree you found was mine on "A.......".  It's Stevenson/Hawkes.  I can't prove or disprove that he was born in Glasgow, the information was from his death registration.  A frustrating family to research - the first few children were born in Scotland and I can't find any records online for any of them.  And it's unfortunate that they emigrated to Canada before the 1841 census - they came here in 1834 to farm.  We are still farming the same land today and I think that's pretty cool! 

Thanks again
