Greeting from Index, Washington State,
This is my first post regarding the Frances / Stewart Connection. My grandfather was Frederick Stewart born Easington Lane, Co. Durham 1897. His father was William who married Elizabeth Stubbs. William was a son of Thomas ( tin master) born in Newcastle, who was the son of Isaac Stewart born Dundee Scotland (traveler) who married Jane Francis born Wexford Co. Ireland.
I believe Isaac's father was Alexander Stuart.
My grandfather came to New York US in the late 1920's . He was a Civil Engineer. One of his sisters married and moved to Vancouver BC Canada. To my knowledge his other sisters ( he was the only male- running from a pregnant girlfriend who had twins ) all stayed in England. I have been to Sunderland England several times to meet with my aunty and several cousins. I would very much like to learn of my ancestors. Jane Francis b. 1808 daughter of Thomas Francis b. 1780. Any information would be very appreciated ! Kai
