I don't quite know how this fits, can anyone help? By the DOB it's not the Alexander Ewing who we started out with born 1811 in Baldernock, maybe a cousin.
EWING, JULIANA HORATIA ORR
(1841-1885), English writer of booksfor children, daughter of the Rev. Alfred Gatty and of Margaret Gatty, (q.v.), was born .at Ecclesfield, Yorkshire, in. 1841. One of a large family, she was accustomed to, act as nursery story-teller to her brothers and sisters, and her brother Alfred Scott Gatty provided music to accompany her plays. She was well educated in classics and modern languages, and at an early age began to publish verses, being a contributor to Aunt Judys Magazine, which her mother started in 1866. The Land of Lost Toys and many other of Julian.as stories appeared in this magazine. In 1867 she married Major Alexander Ewing, himself an author, and the composer of the well-known hymn Jerusalem the Golden. From thistime until her death (I3th may 1885), previously to which she had been a constant invalid, Mrs Ewing produced a number of charming childrens stories. The best of these are: The Brownies (1870), A Fiat-Iron for a Farthing (1873), Lob-lie-by the Fire (1874), The Story of a Short Life (1885) and Jackanapes (1884), the two last-named, in particular, obtaining great success; among others may be mentioned Mrs Over-the-FVays Remembrances (1869), Six to Sixteen, Jan of the Windmill (1876), A Great Emergency (1877), We and the World (188f), Old-Fashioned Fairy Tales, Brothers af Pity (1882), The Dolls Wash, Master Fritz, Our Garden, A Soldiers Children, Three Little Nest-Birds, A Week Spent in a Glass-House, A Sweet Little Dear, and Blue-Red (1883). Many of these were published by the S.P.C.K. Simple and unaffected in. style, and so,und and wholesome in matter, with quiet touches of humour and bright sketches of scenery and character, Mrs Ewings best stories have never been surpassed in the style of literature to which. they belong.

Then there is also another Alexander, with again a different DOB
EWING, ALEXANDER (1814-1873), Scottish divine, was born of an old Highland family in Aberdeen on the 25th of March 1814. In October 1838 he was admitted to deacons orders, and after his return from Italy he took charge of the episcopal congregation at Forres, and was ordained apresbyter in the autumn of 1841. In 1846 he was elected first bishop of the newly restored diocese of Argyll and the Isles, the duties of which position he discharged till his death on the 22nd of May 1873. In 1851 he received the degree of D.C.L. from the university of Oxford~ Though hampered by a delicate bodily constitution, he worked in a spirit of buoyant cheerfulness. By the charm of his personal manner and his catholic sympathies he gradually attained a prominent position. In theological discnision he contended for the exercise of a wide tolerance, and attached little importance to ecclesiastical authority and organization. His own theological position had close affinity with that of Thomas Erskine of Linlathen and Frederick Denison Maurice; but his opinions were the fruit of his own meditation, and were colored by his owp individuality~ The trend of his teaching is only to be gathered from fragmentary publicationsletters to the newspapers, pamphlets, special sermons, essays contributed to the series of Present Day Papers, of which he was the editor, and a volume of sermons entitled Revelation considered as Light.
Besides his strictly theological writings, Ewing was the author of the Cathedral or 4bbey Church of lena (1865), the first part of which contains drawings and descriptive letterpress of the ruins, arid the second a history of the early Celtic church and the mission of St Columba. See Memoir of Alexander Ewing, D.C.L., by A. J. Ross (1877).
