duncan stewart
« on: Thursday 03 March 11 20:01 GMT (UK) »
Can anybody please help me find Duncan Stewarts death . I have his daughter MargaretsStewarts  death record of Dundee 1873 where he is given as deceased and also that he had two recorded wives /partners which confuses things further .
If i can find His  Death cert' I presume that his parents will be on that Death Cert'

many thanks
Numptie2.

Hi ev,
In answer to your reply the info' came from Margaret Stewarts (age 59) death Cert'.  !/!/1873.
Her Parents were given as Duncan Stewart (decseased}  Jane Forbes. Ferguson is also featured ,and some other info' which i can't read.
I hope this is helpful.

Numptie.

Hi EV,
I don't know if you recieved my reply to your request for more info'
so I thought I'd resend it.
Margaret Stewarts death cert' of 1/1/1873. gave her fathers name as Duncan Stewart, deceased and that his wives/partners were given as Jane Ferguson and Jane Forbes I'm afraid that I coudn't read any more info' and that I would appreciate any help that you could offer.
Many Thanks.
Numptie.

Why not post that part of the death certificate here, and we can try to decipher it. Duncan may have had more than one wife/partner but Margaret can only have had one mother. Her death certificate would not name her stepmother(s).

Could it, for instance, be Jane Stewart, formerly Ferguson, MS Forbes or something like that?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
