1251 Alexander's baptism was witnessed by Alexander Smith in New Mill and Elspeth Cuthbert in New Keith.

Alexander was the first of this branch to immigrate to Canada. He came in 1835 and was followed by his brother James and then in 1836 by the remainder of his extended family.

A record prepared by Effa (Cuthbert) Sippel lists six (sic - four) unnamed children who died of ships' fever (typhus) thought to be brought by a hired hand of the Cuthberts. These children have been identified below.
Alexander and Jane began a new family sometime after 1851.

Alexander named his residence in Oxford County, Ontario, Canada, "Crofthyrne". The significance of this name is unknown. No such place has been found in Scotland.

Gravestone: In memory of/ Alex Cuthbert/ who died Feb 8/ 1870/ aged 58 yrs. 
Cuthbert, Alexander (I3229)
 
1252 Alexander's baptism was witnessed by Charles Stewart and John McFarlane both in Doune. Alexander is presumed to be one of the three sons mentioned in Stewarts of the South as being a merchant in Glasgow. Stewart, Alexander (I14821)
 
1253 Alexander's baptism was witnessed by John and Alexander Forbes at Ballacaish. Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as a minor son. Stewart, Alexander (I14915)
 
1254 Alexander's baptism was witnessed by John and James Gibson both in Candy. Stewart, Alexander (I14841)
 
1255 Alexander's baptism was witnessed by John and Stephen McFarlane both in Carse of Cambus.

Alexander is recorded in the Glasingall trial records as "Alexander Stewart, presently of Carse of Cambus, only son of James Stewart (of Carse of Cambus), the present claimant." He was later in Blairdrummond Moss.

According to the testimony of Robert Stewart in Buchany, from the Glasingall trial notes: "Declared that he was personally acquainted with Alexander Stewart late tenant in Carse of Cambus who is now at Blairdrummond Moss and that he was also acquainted with his father James Stewart who was tenant in Carse of Cambus, and was buried in Kilmadock Churchyard in 1826. That he also knew John Stewart Merchant in Kippen, who was the brother of James last mentioned, and the father of Dr Stewart of Glasgow, and John Graham Stewart also in Glasgow. Declares that the father of John and James above mentioned was Hugh Stewart, who was first a tenant in Ballacaish, under Mr Stewart of Craigton, which adjoins Annat, and afterwards in Carse of Cambus, and that Hugh is also buried in Kilmdaock Churchyard. That Hugh Stewart was first married to Margaret Buchanan, who was the mother of John Stewart in Kippen, and second to Janet [Duncandow] who was the mother of Janet Stewart in Carse of Cambus. That Hugh Stewart was son of John Stewart tenant first in Ballacaish aforesaid, and afterwards in Lendrick which was one of the forfeited farms on the Perth estate." 
Stewart, Alexander 3rd of Carse of Cambus (I14816)
 
1256 Alexander's birth family has not been identified.

Alexander Stewart has not been found in the 1841 census.

Sometime around 1842, at about age 39, Alexander became the schoolmaster at the Brig o' Turk school, where he served for 30 years until his death.

In 1844, at age 41, Alexander Stewart married in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland to Anne Drummond Stewart from Brig o' Turk.

In 1851, at age 48, Alexander Stewart was residing at Bridge of Turk in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. He was employed as a schoolmaster. Residing with him were his wife, Ann Stewart, 46, his niece Marg McIntyre, 9, his niece Henrietta Ferguson, 16, and other non-related persons.

In 1854, Alexander's wife, Ann Drummond Stewart, died.

Sometimed between 1854-1861, Alexander is presumed to have married Mary Stewart, although no record of their marriage has been found. It is not known if Stewart is just her married name or also her birth name.

In 1861, at age 58, Alexander was residing at Duncraggan, Callander Road Schoolhouse 8, in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland, with his new wife Mary Stewart, 44, and his nephew, Alexander Stewart, 20. He was employed as a schoolmaster.

In 1871, at age 68, Alexander Stewart was residing at Bridge of Turk, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife Mary Stewart, born 1814 in Callander, and 36 year old Agnes Stewart, b 1835 in Stirling.

On 30 Aug 1872, at age 72 (sic), Alexander Stewart died at Brig o' Turk and is buried in the Brig o' Turk cemetery with his first wife, Ann.

Stewart, Alexander (I25258)
 
1257 Alexander's birth is missing from our OPR transcription so we don't know exactly where in Callander he was born, but most likely Corriechrombie. Alexander immigrated to Seaforth, Grey Township, Huron County, Ontario, Canada in 1854 and was followed five years later by his brother John. In 1881, 1891, and 1901 Alexander is found residing in Grey Township, Huron County, Ontario, Canada. In 1901 he is found living next door to his nephew John Stewart. John's death registration mistakenly gives his parents as "Alexander Stewart and Margaret Fleming". The informant is his son John A Stewart. Stewart, Alexander (I14794)
 
1258 Alexander's birth is not recorded in the Comrie OPR, but is recorded in the Laggan family tree. Alexander married to Helen McNiven although no record of their marriage has been found. Stewart, Alexander in Balimeanoch (I15086)
 
1259 Alexander's birth is recorded in the Balquhidder parish register as taking place on 11 Sep 1707 in Ledcreich, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland as the son of Alexander and Catherine Stewart. Alexander is believed to have died before adulthood. Duncan Stewart (1739) makes no mention of him. His older brother, Patrick Stewart, in his 1763 family history makes no mention of a brother named Alexander. Stewart Clan Magazine makes no mention of Alexander Stewart in its multiple articles on this family. Yet all three of these sources reference Alexander's brothers, Patrick, Robert, and William. If Alexander had survived to adulthood at least one of these sources would have mentioned him.

Several online trees erroniously conflate this Alexander Stewart with a different Alexander Stewart who was born in 1707 in Londonderry, Ireland and allegedly migrated to North Carolina, USA. As we have the record of this Alexander being born in Balquhidder, then Alexander in Londonderry could not be the same person. 
Stewart, Alexander (I14770)
 
1260 Alexander's birth is recorded in the Kilmadock OPR as, "19 Nov 1738, Alexander, son of Alexr STUART and Isobell MILLAR in Borblack? (sic, Powblack) Witt. James Fisher and John Harvie there."

Alexander is presumed to have died young as Stewarts of the South indicates that his father only had two surviving sons. 
Stewart, Alexander (I14884)
 
1261 Alexander's birth is recorded twice in the Balquhidder OPR on 28 SEP 1726 and 18 OCT 1726. Most likely the first entry is his date of birth and the second is his baptism. Stewart, Alexander (I14890)
 
1262 Alexander's cousin, Dr. David Stewart, son of Alexander Stewart, 10th of Glenbuckie, in his will says, "I David Stewart at Brainchyle son of Alexander Stewart of Glenbuckie nominate Alexander Stewart my cousin, lawful son of Deceased Donald Stewart sometime tanner in Edinburgh and his heirs which failing Donald Stewart brother of Alexander Stewart also my cousin and his heirs to be my executors."

Alexander's marriage and children shown here are according to an LDS member submission. This information has not been verified by the Stewarts of Balquhidder Research Group.

John Stewart of Ardvorlich in the Stewarts of Ardvorlich Supplement (Glenbuckie Section) states that Alexander died without children prior to Nov. 1766. 
Stewart, Alexander (I14798)
 
1263 Alexander's date of birth is according to family records and has not been verified. Alexander descends from the Glenogle family at an unknown point. It is suggested that he is mostly likely a grandson of Alexander Stewart, 1st in Auchtow, (shown above under 5 Line - Stewarts in Auchtow) through an unknown younger son, although it is possible that he could be descended from an earlier line. However the fact that Cuill is located adjacent to Auchtow suggests that the Cuill family descend from Auchtow. Furthermore, as the Achra branch, a later cadet branch, also descends from Auchtow then it would seem that Cuill must descend from Auchtow in order to remain senior to the Achra branch. It is entirely possible that this Alexander could be identical with Alexander 4th in Wester Auchtow.
Alexander lived "in the valley of the Balvaig (River), known as Strathyre". (SCM, May 1938, p.C318).
According to a later family letter, an ancestor of this family "took up arms in the cause of the First Pretender" (in 1715). This reference most likely refers to this Alexander Stewart, but may refer to one or more of his elder sons, or both. This service to "The King Across The Water" may be the source of the military connection between the Stewarts in Cuilt and Clan Grant in Upper Strathspey and the other Moray families.
An erroneous family tradition describes this Alexander as "the famous Alexander Stuart who bested Rob Roy in his last duel." However the Alexander Stewart who bested Rob Roy was Alexander Stewart of Invernahyle (see Glenfinglas Stewarts) whose duel with Rob Roy became the subject of Sir Walter Scott's book, Waverly.) 
Stewart, Alexander (I15095)
 
1264 Alexander's exact birth place is not recorded in the Balquhidder OPR. His mother's name is given as "Grisel STEWART of Muillian parish". Stewart, Alexander (I14878)
 
1265 Alexander's exact birthdate is unknown. He is slotted in-between the known births of his siblings as a best guess. We do not know if Alexander married or had children. Stewart, Alexander (I14784)
 
1266 Alexander's existence is uncertain. If he existed then it's possible that he should be accounted as "1st" in Cuilt. Alexander's existence is inferred only from the Statistics of Annexed (Jacobite) Estates 1755-56, cited above, in which he is listed ahead of James Stewart in Cuilt suggesting (though not conclusively) that he was an elder brother to James Stewart, 1st in Cuilt. It is not known if he had any children. Stewart, Alexander (I15051)
 
1267 Alexander's existence is uncertain. He is placed here as a present best guess.

The first cadet branch of the Glenogle Stewarts is a family of Stewarts living in Monachyle at the west end of the Braes of Balquhidder. For the longest time this branch eluded reconstruction. Our presentation of this line is not proven, and may never be so unless some miraculous new documents materialize out of the ether. But barring any such startling revelations we believe we have successfully reconstructed the most likely arrangement of the Monachyle Stewarts. The earliest mention of any Stewart in Monachyle comes from the following bond:

1557 - Bond by Andro Stewart in Gartnafoir, Johne Stewart in Kirkton of Buchquhiddir his brother, Robert Stewart in Tullich, Alexander Stewart in Monochaill, Alexander Stewart son to John Roy Stewart, to Duncan Campbell of Glenurquhay giving him their calp and also to get as many of their friends, surname, and others as they can. Witnesses. Walter Stewart in Balliefulzie, Patrick Stewart in Glenbuckie, Duncan Stewart in Branchaill. At the Caudmoir 15th Novr. 1557 (Cosmo Innes, Black Book of Taymouth).

Stewarts of the South indicates that the Monachyle family were the most senior surviving branch of the Glenogle Stewarts. However, it is chronologically impossible for the Alexander Stewart in Monachyle mentioned in the above testament to be a descendant of the Glenogle branch which did not yet exist in 1557. This Alexander would be contemporary with Robert Stewart, predecessor of Glenogle (or perhaps one generation earlier). Thus, Alexander's male line must have failed in some manner and Monachyle passed to the Glenogle family at a later date -- either through inheritance, marriage or purchase. If Monachyle passed to the Glenogle family by inheritance (as we are supposing) then Alexander must be of the closest possible relationship to Robert Stewart, predecessor in Glenogle. We note that Robert has no known brother named Alexander and onomastics would demand that his father, Alexander Stewart, 2nd of Gartnafuaran, should have a son named Alexander. Thus, for now, we are suggesting that the most likely placement for this Alexander is as a son of Alexander Stewart, 2nd of Gartnafuaran. We are suggesting that the line of Alexander Stewart, 1st in Monachyle, failed in some manner, and that the property passed laterally to the next in line, namely, Robert, predecessor of Glenogle. Upon Duncan McRobert Stewart receiving these properties we are suggesting that Duncan assigned his largest estate, Glenogle, to his eldest son, and his next most promising estate, Monachyle, to his second son (and similarly for Auchtow to his third son.)

However, the above bond also presents the greatest challenge to our accounting of Alexander Stewart, 1st in Monachyle. We are suggesting that he was a younger brother of Andrew Stewart, 3rd in Gartnafuaran and an older brother of John Stewart in Kirkton. Andrew and John are mentioned in the 1557 bond as being brothers. However, Alexander in Monachyle is not styled as brother to either of these. If he was their brother, why would the bond not say so. An argument from absence is never sufficient -- just because it doesn't say he was their brother is not proof that he wasn't. However it does seem unusual. This association is made even weaker by the fact that Alexander is separated in the list from his suggested brothers by Robert Stewart in Tullich.

If we have correctly accounted for Alexander Stewart, 1st in Monachyle, then it is suggested that he had no surviving heirs as Monachyle appears next as a possession of Duncan Stewart, grandson of Robert Stewart, predecessor of Glenogle. We are suggesting that Monachyle passed from Alexander Stewart, 1st in Monachyle, at the time of his death, to his younger brother Robert's son, Duncan McRobert Stewart, 3rd in Glenogle. We are suggesting that Duncan McRobert assigned his senior property, Glenogle, to his eldest son and his next property, Monachyle, to his second son (and similarly for Auchtow to his third son.) 
Stewart, Alexander 1st in Monachyle (I15031)
 
1268 Alexander's existence is uncertain. There is no record of his birth in the Balquhidder OPR. He is listed only in Chuck Speed's genealogy of the Ledcreich Stewarts and his recorded as having died at birth. However, there is no source information provided for the record. Alexander is not mentioned in his father's 1763 genealogy, however, this could simply be because he died at birth.
 
Stewart, Alexander? (I14781)
 
1269 Alexander's first name is not confirmed. It is suggested by onomastics. Stewart, Alexander? (I15005)
 
1270 Alexander's identity is purely theoretical and is suggested only from onomastics. It is presumed he died young. Stewart, Alexander? (I14956)
 
1271 Alexander's marital status at his death is shown as "married". His brother Matthew was the informant. Curiously, his length of residency in Ontario is given as 35 years although he was 45 years old. McCulloch, Alexander Lawson (I9834)
 
1272 Alexander's marriage record lists him as "a farmer at Back Borland." His age in 1841 is given as 60 and his place of birth was Stirlingshire. Alexander resided at the Milton of Chapelaroch where his wife is recorded as having died. Alexander is recorded in Stewarts of the South as having resided at the Milton of Cubail-Larach in Drymen. Cubail-Larach and Chapelaroch are certainly the same place with the latter most likely being an Anglo-corruption of the earlier Gaelic name. Alexander's name is wrongly given in Stewarts of the South as "Andrew". He is recorded as being firstly a weaver, like his father, and latterly a miller at Cubail-Larach. He is recorded as being unmarried at the time of Stewarts of the South (ca. 1820) which is consistent with his later marriage to Agnes McAlpine in 1830. Stewart, Alexander (I14848)
 
1273 Alexander's marriage to Sarah MacGregor is recorded on 22 MAR 1787 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland and 25 MAR 1787 in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland. This would be consistent with the account given by Mrs. Stewart of Milton that Alexander's family came from Strone in Callander and that two of his sons, John and Alexander were both lawyers in Glasgow. No birth record has been found for any of Alexander's sons in Callander. It's possible they were born in Glasgow. MacGregor, Sarah (I9171)
 
1274 Alexander's middle name is frequently rendered incorrectly in online genealogies as "MACLAIN." (The middle letter is a capital 'i' not a lowercase 'L'.) His middle name is his patronymic, "mac Iain" (son of John).

Alexander was the founder of the Stewarts of Annat. He is believed to be the Alexander "M'ean" (mac Iain, or "son of John") referred to in the following documents. His son Walter's byname, "Meandowie" (son/descendant of Iain Dubh, or "son/descendant of Black John") suggests that Alexander's father was known as John Dubh.

1623 - Alexander S. alias M'ean. John, Archibald, and Andrew, his sons. Walter M'eandowie alias Stewart (Alexander mac Iain Stewart, (latterly) 1st of Annat, and his sons, John Stewart, future 2nd of Annat, Archibald Stewart, ancestor of Glassingall, Andrew Stewart, latterly in Ardcheanochdan, and Walter Mceandowie Stewart, in Glenfinglas.)

(His sons) 1639 John, Alaster, and Walter Stewarts in Glen. Vol. III p.48, tenants to the Earl of Moray

Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "Alexander, who purchased the lands of Annat from James Muschet of Burnbank anno 1621. He married ___ MacNab, daughter to Aucharn, by whom he had John, Walter, Andrew and James. He had likewise Archibald, great-grandfather to Alexander Stewart of Glassingall, writer in Stirling."

Duncan Stewart accounts for the family of Annat as a separate branch from the Stewarts of Ardvorlich, whereas Stewarts of the South accounts for them as a cadet branch of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich. As the Annat family descends from a brother of Alexander Stewart, 1st of Ardvorlich, rather than a son, then Duncan Stewart's accounting is preferred. We account for the Stewarts of Annat as a fourth principal family, alongside the Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Glenbuckie, and Gartnafuaran.

Sometime around 1620, the Annat family complained to James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich, after he received a beneficial tack of Glenfinglas and portioned it among the principal branches of the Baldorran Stewarts, because he left out the Annat family. The dating makes it likely that it was Alexander Stewart, 1st of Annat, who complained about being left out of the Glenfinglas tack. The Annat family were then given a one-eighth share of Glenfinglas, which, from later accountings, would appear to have been the property of Auchnahard in Glenfinglas. It is not recorded who from Annat initially resided in Auchnahard, however since the Ardvorlich History claims that the later John Buidhe Mor was preceded by "a John or two" then it seems likely that the Auchnahard portion probably went first to John Stewart, future 2nd Laird of Annat, while Alexander was still alive. It seems likely that John, future 2nd of Annat, likely held Auchnahard until his father's death, at which point he would have inherited the principal estate of Annat, to become John Stewart, 2nd of Annat, which would be when his natural son, John Buidhe Mor probably took possession of the tack in Glenfinglas.

Alexander's gravestone is amazingly still intact. According to Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions, it reads: "(foot stone. Marginal.) Hier lyes the richt worthiey and honourabel Alexander STEWART of Annet died 14 JAN 1647, age 76. shield with horse.)" 
Stewart, Alexander mac Iain Dubh in Glen Finglas 2nd of Portnellan and 1st of Annat (I15072)
 
1275 Alexander's name is not certain. It is derived from the fact that both his sons had eldest sons named Alexander.

Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions shows a family of Fergusons in Stronvar back to 1700 commencing with a John Ferguson.
 
Ferguson, Alexander? (I23057)
 
1276 Alexander's name is not known for sure. He is a descendant of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran VI Branch - Stewarts of Coille Mor (on Loch Lomond). The name "Alexander" is suggested by onomastics only. He is suggested as the father of Andrew and James, but this is not verified. Andrew and James, are not shown in Stewarts of the South as brothers. However the fact that the Mill of Cubail-Larach appears to have passed from James to Andrew after James's son moved to Buchanan would suggest that James and Andrew were closely related. The simplest relationship of brothers is presently preferred, however this relationship is not verified. As Andrew had only one known son, namely Alexander, it is suggested that Andrew's (and James') father was named Alexander, however, this too is not verified. Stewart, Alexander? (I14957)
 
1277 Alexander's place of birth is partially illegible and is given as "~idstridan" in the Balquhidder parish register.

Alexander is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and is not found in other later records. He is presumed to have died young.

1278 Alexander, advocate, LL.D., Professor of Law, Univ. of Glasgow, 1887-1905. Moody-Stuart, Dr. Alexander (I11426)
 
1279 Alfred served as a U.S. Senator for Georgia. He is shown in 1850 as being the proprietor of an estate valued at $18,000 (approx. $7M in 2009). He is shown with his son Alfred. Cuthbert, Senator Alfred (I3251)
 
1280 Algar\Alfgar MERCIA -Earl(1) was born about 1002 in Mercia. He died between 1059 and 1062 in Mercia. Parents: NINEVAH -Earl and Godiva Godgifu MERCIA -Countess .
He was married to Princess Elfgifu ENGLAND. Children were: Lucy MERCIA, Eadwine MERCIA -Earl, Morcar NORTHUMBERLAND -Earl , Burhhfard, Queen Eldgyth .

1281 Alice and her husband John Groves did not emigrate with her siblings and remained in England, contrary to family records preserved by her neice, Harriet Joned (Brown). Harriet also indicated that the Groves had five children, however records have only been found of two. Liptrot, Alice Anne (I8902)
 
1282 Alice Maud Angus died young at the age of 16. Angus, Alice Maud (I23373)
 
1283 Alick served with the Wiltshire Regiment, 1st Battalion. He was killed in action in 1914 in Bethune, France. Recorded as the husband of Alice Edith Prangley. Prangley, Private Alexander Henry (I12436)
 
1284 All ancestors of this John Home are unproven. Home, Sir John (I7910)
 
1285 All ancestors of this line from here back should be considered legendary. Temple, Unknown (I19310)
 
1286 All children of Abraham were baptized at St. Cuthbert's Church, Allendale, Northumberland, England. Dawson, Abraham (I3831)
 
1287 All Saints Church, Norfolk Square Family F4818
 
1288 All sources except MacGregor indicate that James MacRory (or MacRuari) was the son of Angus, son of Somerled of the Isles. MacGregor follows the patronymic and indicates that James was the son of Roderick (synonym for Ruari), but does not give Ruari's origin. All other sources show the relationship as presented here with James being the son of Angus with no explanation for the patronym. Since Angus' brother was named Ruari/Roderick and his descendants became known as MacRuari/MacRory, it may be that James took the name of his uncle as a means of clan association. It may also be that there is a generation missing and perhaps James was the son of Ruari, son of Angus, son of Somerled. What is known is that the Lords of the Isles were descended in some manner from Somerled. No satisfactory explanation yet exists for the mystery of James MacRory. MacRory, James Lord of Bute and Arran (I9352)
 
1289 All the children shown here could also be children of John Prangley, son of Robert. Prangley, John (I12811)
 
1290 Allan Cameron of Lundavra was a witness for the defense in the trial of James Stewart of the Glen in the case of the Appin Murder. Cameron, Lt. Allan of Lundavra (I21451)
 
1291 Allan is described as "begotten in fornication" in his baptism record in the Callander parish register. Allan is recorded in Stewarts of the South as being a grandson of Allan Stewart in Doune by his natural son (Robert). Stewart, Allan (I14995)
 
1292 Allan is found in 1891 resresiding in Galt, teamster with his wife Jennie b 1866 in Ontario. Allan has not been found in 1901. In 1911 he was residing at 1436 Graveley, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with his unmarried daughter Mamie, but without his wife. He is shown as married, not widowed, so it's possible that Jennie was away. Allan was working as a manager at an oil company in 1911. Stewart, Allan James (I14982)
 
1293 Allan is listed in the Invernahyle genealogy in The Scottish Journal. No further information is given. Stewart, Allan (I15000)
 
1294 Allan is recorded as the third son of Duncan Stewart of Appin. He died without children. Stewart, Allan Younger of Appin (I14967)
 
1295 Allan was a farmer in Bellflower, Illinois, USA. McIntyre, Allan (I10127)
 
1296 Allan was the illegitmate child of James Stewart in Wester Ardviech and Euphemia McGregor in Easter Glentarken.

1787 Augt 22nd Jas Stewart in W. Ardveich & Euphan McGrigor had their son born in uncleanness Bapt this day named Allan. (Comrie OPR)

The Kirk Session minutes for Comrie Parish record the following: "Comrie 10th Febry 1788 James Stewart in Ardveich guilty of adultery with Euphan McGregor in Ester Glentarkin."

The name "Allan" is an unusual choice for the baby's name. The name does not occur in either parent's family. It's possible that he could have been named after the infamous Allan Breck Stewart who was known to frequent the area and was allied with the Stewarts of Balquhidder. Baby Allan disappears from records after his birth and is presumed to have died in childhood. 
Stewart, Allan (I25145)
 
1297 Allan's family is not listed with him in the 1901 census. Stuart, Lt. Allan Kilbee (I18639)
 
1298 Almeda was born in 1887 in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada.

In 1901 she moved with her family to Teeswater, Bruce, Ontario, Canada where she was a student.

In 1906, when Almeda was just 18 years old, her mother died, leaving a family of young children to raise. Her father never remarried. Almeda presumably stepped in to help raise the children. She never married and was never employed outside the house. She remained living with her father for the rest of his life.

In 1911 and 1921, Almeda was residing in Teeswater, Bruce, Ontario, Canada with her father. She was not employed.

By 1935, Almeda was back in Hamilton, residing at 220 Hunter Street East with her widowed father and brother Samuel. Brother Charles joined them sometime shorly after.

In 1937, her brother Samuel died tragically, possibly by suicide.

In 1941 her brother Charles, who was living with her, died by suicide.

No record has been found for her death or burial. 
Stewart, Almeda Elizabeth (I14986)
 
1299 Almira Brown died as an infant. She is buried in the Old Brick Church Cemetery, Eaton, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, USA, along with her parents. They are the only Browns in that cemetery. Brown, Almira (I1716)
