The 1881 census lists John's name as "John P. Dobson". The birth record of Isabella Dobson lists her father's name as "John Preston Dobson". The census gives his birth year as approximately 1845. 1891 census confirms his identity as John Preston Dobson. Sometime in the early 1880s his first wife Alice died and he married secondly as shown here. Census records show his birth place as Lancaster.

After the death of his first wife, John married secondly to widow Rachel Elizabeth Borwick (nee Waterhouse).

John Dobson was recorded as being "of Aldcliffe" at the time of his marriage to Judith Miller of Scotforth. Aldcliffe is located just outside of Lancaster, about 2 km south of the castle. Scotforth was formerly a village, now a suburb of Lancaster, located about 4 km southeast of the castle.

In 1823, John was employed as an innkeeper in Newton at the time of the birth of his first child, William.

In 1824, John was employed as an publican (pub owner) in Newton at the time of the birth of his son, Thomas.

Between 1831-1833 John and his family moved into Lancaster where he became a farmer.

Abode: Lancaster
Occupation: Labourer
Baptised by: A. Christopherson, Curate
Register: Baptisms 1845 - 1852, Page 160, Entry 1277

This is a highly suspicious birth. There is no other couple named John and Judith Dobson in the parish register other than this couple, but they would have been in their 50s when Thomas was born. Also, they already had an earlier son named Thomas who was still alive in the 1851 census. This child, Thomas, is found in 1851 residing with his adult niece, Isabella Dobson (nee Harrison) widow of William Dobson. Either this was a very late birth and the child was being raised by his adult widowed niece, or she was actually the mother and her former husband's parents registered the baby as theirs as he would have been illegitimate otherwise.

1723 Barbara Stewart was born 20 Feb 1785 in Wester Torrie, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, as the eldest daughter of John Stewart and Sara Ferguson. She was named after her mother's mother, Barbara Campbell. Her baptism was witnessed by John Stewart in Wester Torrie (the baby's father) and her mother's father (or brother), John Ferguson in Wester Torrie.

Barbara Stewart has not been identified in later records and nothing more is known of her.

1727 Based on the naming of Robert Wilson Duncan's children (including Janet Orr Duncan and Jessie Brown Duncan) it is suspected that this Jessie's surname was Brown. If so, then a match can be found in 1891 for 13 year old Jessie Brown residing at 152 Mill St, Rutherglen with her parents William Brown 61 (coal miner, born Shotts, Lanark), Margaret Brown 51, and brother David S. Brown 11.

1728 Based on the witnesses to her daughter Janet's baptism, Janet Stewart was likely as sister of Hugh and James Stewart in Ballachaish.

Janet Stewart was born on 19 Jun 1754 in Bridge end of Doune, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland as a daughter of Alexander Stewart and Janet Stewart. Her baptism was witnessed by Hugh Stewart and James Stewart, both in Ballacaish. It is likely that Hugh and James were uncles, but since both father and mother were Stewarts it is difficult to know whose brothers they were. Given that the child baptised was named after her mother, it seems more likely that Hugh and James were maternal uncles, but this is far from certain.

1730 Basil Dean was born in Newbury, England and graduated from the University of London in Journalism where he received an award for “Best Student of The Year” in 1936. He came to Canada on a work experience or internship and spent several months at each of several Southam Publishing newspapers including the Montreal Gazette, Hamilton Spectator, Edmonton Journal and Calgary Herald. It was while working at Hamilton Spectator that he met his future wife, Florence Jean Brown, who was a reporter. While at the Edmonton Journal he spent some time covering the “police beat”. When the old police station was torn down in the ’70s, they discovered a desk with “Basil Dean, the only gentleman in Alberta” scribed inside one of the drawers.

Basil fell in love with Canada and Florence Jean Brown and decided to emigrate. He was the only male Dean to ever leave Newbury and was the oldest of five children followed by John, Betty, Josie and Tony. John took over the family grocery store when their father died in the mid-‘1950s; John died circa 1965. Betty died a few years ago and Josie a number of years ago. Tony died just before Christmas 1995. Basil died just before Christmas, 1967.

After he decided to make Canada home, he covered King George VI’s Canadian tour among other things and returned to Hamilton - no doubt largely due to his future wife. His future father-in-law, Hamilton Police Chief, Tom Brown, was in charge of security for the same royal visit.

Basil joined the RCAF and received orders to report for duty on Boxing Day, 1941. A hasty marriage was in order. Jean’s father, Tom Brown, arranged the wedding, apparently using his connections to circumvent waiting periods, etc. and managed to scrounge a minister on Christmas Day. Basil married Jean in the Brown family home in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, on Christmas Day, 1941.

During the war Basil was posted to several locations in Canada including Edmonton so Jean went with him. He was a media liaison officer and while in Edmonton covered the construction of the Alaska Highway. He eventually rose to rank of Squadron Leader and spent several years overseas attached to the RCAF’s Overseas HQ in England. Jean remained in Hamilton when he was oversease and continued working as a reporter. At the end of the war he was stationed in England. Jean travelled there in 1945 after VE Day, where they remained for a time.

While in England, in 1946, Jean gave birth to her first child.

Basil covered the Winter Olympics in Switzerland in 1948. When he & Jean were invited to some sort of gala she didn’t have anything suitable to wear; Barbara Ann Scott, the Canadian Gold Medalist, loaned her a gown.

Basil, and his young family, moved back to Canada in the late spring of 1949 and Basil became a reporter at the Calgary Herald and in 1955 became its publisher. He was made Publisher of the Edmonton Journal in January, 1962.

Basil was made an Honourary Chief at Hobbema, AB (now Maskawacis First Nation) around 1959-60 for the stance that the Calgary Herald took against the federal government’s planned changes to the Indian Act and which they were forced to abandon.

1747 Baxter moved to Dawn Mills in 1835 and became a partner with William Taylor in the Dawn Mills General Store. His son, Charles, married William Taylory's daughter Mary Ann. Baxter, A. B. (I778)
 
1748 Beatrice is suspected of having married 10 MAR 1759 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to John or James CAMPBELL. (Groom from Comrie parish and bride from Balquhidder, however the groom's name is recorded in Fiona's transcription as James Campbell, not John. Whereas the OPR baptism records show the father's name as John. The IGI agrees with Fiona, thus any possible error must be presumed to be in the OPR itself.) She is believed to be the mother of the family shown here but her husband and children are not confirmed. Stewart, Bettrice (I14855)
 
1749 Beatrice Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1725, probably in Upper Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. Her birth family has not been identified but circumstantial evidence suggests she likely belongs to the Stewarts in Strone, perhaps as the daughter of a theoretical Walter Stewart, younger brother of John Dubh na Sroan Stewart in Strone.

Alexander Stewart and Beatrice Stewart had their first child in 1748 at his family's ancestral home of Edraleachdach. It may also have been Beatrice's home, which could indicate that she may have been a cousin from 1-Line of the Stewarts in Edraleachdach, or another kindred Glenbuckie branch from Upper Strathgartney (either Strone or Letter).

Their first son was named Charles, which breaks from the traditional naming pattern. Charles appears to have been named after his father's brother.

Their second son is named James, which appears to commence the traditional naming pattern.

Their third son was named Walter which may suggest that Beatrice's father's name was Walter. If she came from Upper Strathgartney and her father's name was Walter, then she is likely a descendant of Walter nan Cliugh Stewart of the Stewarts in Strone.
 
Stewart, Beatrice (I14856)
 
1750 Beatrice's mother's name is not given in the Balquhidder OPR. Stewart, Bettrice (I14854)
