Thanks for your input J.J.
The first entry is definitely Robert 'Harry' Stewart and his two daughters Margaret and Isabella, with his married sons Peter and Alexander living adjacently.
Thanks for confirming the names of the children born in Scotland. We think that Andrea Strahl was mistaking her Sydney with Susan. We cannot recall the forename of Sydney being used in this area.
The first child born in Nova Scotia was probably James (b 1836), and we think that there was a Cecilia who died in 1852 but cannot confirm.
Andrea's line came from Alexander and Ann McMillan, the daughter of Hugh McMillan and Janet McGregor. Salt River??
It's a pity that we can't contact Andrea, but she might be quite elderly by now.
The second Stewart family came from the same part of Blair Atholl parish in Perthshire.
Robert Stewart was the son of 'Deacon' Robert Stewart (Balcastle, Borenich) and Christy Stewart (Chamberbane, Strathtummel). We have a lot of information on these people.
His wife, Christy, was the daughter of James 'Ban' Stewart (Miltown of Borenich) and Janet Stewart (Balcastle). Once again a lot of information on James 'Ban' Stewart is on our web-site.
Thanks again, Throth (
