 #   Notes   Linked to 
4701 Margaret's information comes from an LDS member family tree submission with no other Gows, implying that she likely married into the member's tree. However her husband has not been identified. Gow, Margaret (I7150)
 
4702 Margaret's marriage and children shown here are based on Malcolm Gray's notes, supplemented with IGI data and are not verified. McNaughton, Margaret (I10857)
 
4703 Margaret's middle initials are transcribed as "McK" in 1881, but this is believed to be likely a transcription error for "McG" which likely stands for "McGregor" after her mother. Margaret was not residing with her parents in 1891. Gillespie, Margaret McK (I6996)
 
4704 Margaret's mother's name is given as "Janet Duncan". Stewart, Margaret (I17443)
 
4705 Margaret's name is recorded as "Stuart" in the Duff's baptismal records. She may have decided to use the English spelling. Stewart, Margaret (I17422)
 
4706 Margaret's name is recorded in the OPR as "nicInvine" ('nic' being the feminine form of 'mac'). However it is believed the name is correctly "Niven" not "Invine". There was a branch of the McNiven family who were foresters in Glen Artney in Comrie parish. It is not known if Margaret belonged to that family or not. McNiven, Margaret (I10972)
 
4707 Margaret's name is suggested based only on the Gaelic naming pattern of Mary's children. No confirmation of this name yet exists. Margaret (I9531)
 
4708 Margaret's name on her husband's death certificate is recorded as "Meiklewhass". The IGI gives her name at her marriage as "Mcilquham". The first element would appear to be authentically "Mac Ghille" (which usually gets abbreviated to "Macill") and was later corrupted to Meikle, which is Scots for "big" but is pronounced nearly identically to the Gaelic "Mac Ghille" which means "son of the servant of...." The second is probably correctly "Quha__". It's uncertain whether the IGI has misread the final consonant as an 'm' instead of 'ss' or whether the death certificate is incorrect or misread. McIlquham, Margaret (I10103)
 
4709 Margaret's parents are unknown. She is believed to be the Margaret McFarlain in the 1881 census who is working as a store clerk for James McDougall in ward 5 of Hamilton. McFarlane, Margaret Ann (I9964)
 
4710 Margaret's parents are very uncertain. She is from the family of Menteith of Rusky, but sources conflict as to whether her father was Walter, William, or Robert. Menteith, Margaret (I11106)
 
4711 Margaret's relationship to the landed family of De Barclay is unknown. de Barclay, Margaret (I4017)
 
4712 Margaret's son, Robert's death certificate gives his mother's place of birth as "Yorkshire, England". Webster, Margaret (I19994)
 
4713 Margaret, who went by "Peggy", was the hero of the Raid on Annat by English soldiers during (or shortly after) the Jacobite Rising of 1745-46. (see "Raid on Annat" above). Because of her quick thinking her Jacobite kin were saved from capture.

After her brother sold the estate of Annat, Margaret and her sister Francis resided in Stirling on a pension from their cousin, Lt. Gen. Robert Stuart of Rait. It's possible, perhaps even likely, that Robert Stuart of Rait's father was one of the Jacobites who escaped the Raid on Annat thanks to Peggy, and that Robert may have been motivated, in part, to provide her with a life pension because she saved his father's life.

Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, cites a writ in which Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich is identified as the brother-in-law of Stewart of Annat. The Ardvorlich MSS contradicts this and indicates that Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich was married to Margaret Stewart of Drumvaich, an Annat cadet branch. MacGregor's claim is more reliable. 
Stewart, Margaret (I17266)
 
4714 Margrietje's birth is not proven. She is suggested as a daughter of Johan Veller/Feller. Her daughter was baptised in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam in 1711 indicating that she must have immigrated prior to 1711. There are only two known Feller families in New York at that time. She is not found in the records of Niclaus Feller's family and she is a perfect match for the eldest daughter of Johan Feller who is recorded merely as "daughter, born 1693". Feller, Margrietje (I5885)
 
4715 Maria and her husband inherited Maria's father's farm. Feller, Maria Elisabetha (I5886)
 
4716 Maria Sutcliffe is found with her parents in 1861. Her father died in 1866 and her mother remarried later that year. Maria is not found residing with her mother in 1871 or elsewhere in the 1871 census. She would have been 15 at the time. She is presumed to have died before 1871 although no record of her death has been found. Sutcliffe, Maria (I23302)
 
4717 Maria was an artist who painted the portrait of her grandfather, Dr. Richard Sprigg Steuart. She never married. (Nelker) Steuart, Maria Louisa (I22287)
 
4718 Marie's brother, Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich, assigned a Bond to her on 5 February 1703. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) Stewart, Marie (I17540)
 
4719 Marion is not found in the 1881 census. It's likely that she is the daughter shown as "Minnie" in 1881. McCulloch, Marion (I9823)
 
4720 Marion never married. Stuart, Marion (I18724)
 
4721 Marion was a half-sister to Andrew and Arthur. Her real mother is unknown. Marion Stewart married Colin Campbell of Glenorchy. The chronology show here for this Colin is challenging to reconcile with Campbell records, but the charter below is clear on the date. It's possible that she married this Colin's uncle, Colin Campbell, who may have also been styled as "of Glenorchy." She is cited in the following charter:

Charter by Isabella, duchess of Albany, countess of Levenax, Inchedavanow, to Colin Campbell, kt, laird of Glenurchay, by reason of his marriage to Marion Stewart, daughter of deceased Walter Stewart of Albany, granter's son, of lands of Feorlyng More and Feorlyng Natara of Kangerlouch, and lands of Mame Beg and Mame More in granter's earldom of Levenax, sheriffdom of Dumbertane, to be held by said Colin and Marion and their legitimate heirs, whom failing, to Andrew Stewart of Albany, kt, granter's grandson, son of said deceased Walter, with proviso that all thieves convicted there are to be hanged on the duchess's gallows at Faslane. Dated 4 October, 1440. Witnesses include: Arthur Stewart, granter's grandson. (GD112/25/2 
Stewart, Marion (I17517)
 
4722 Marion was residing in Hamilton in 1851 and 1861 with her parents.

In 1871, Marion and John Kerr were residing in Brantford, Brant, Ontario, Canada. 18 year old Robert Stuart was residing with them. It's not known if he was a relative or if his name is merely coincidence.

In 1901, Marion and John Kerr were residing in Brantford, Brant, Ontario, Canada. 
McCallum, Marion (I9706)
 
4723 Mariote Stewart's date of birth is an estimate based on the fact that her eldest sister was known to be a widow by 1500. Her place of birth is not known for sure, but is presumed to be the family estate of Baldorran.

Mariote Stewart, was a substitute heir to her sisters in the lands of Lettir in 1493. 
Stewart, Mariote (I20978)
 
4724 Marjorie and Marie's dates of birth are unknown. They are shown as buried with their parents and sister Helen, all presumably childhood deaths. It is presumed that the three sisters were born in the order that they are listed in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions. A corresponding gap exists in the birth order for that time period. As such Marjorie and Marie are suggested as shown here. Stewart, Marie (I17511)
 
4725 Marjorie and Marie's dates of birth are unknown. They are shown as buried with their parents and sister Helen, all presumably childhood deaths. It is presumed that the three sisters were born in the order that they are listed in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions. A corresponding gap exists in the birth order for that time period. As such Marjorie and Marie are suggested as shown here. Stewart, Marjorie (I17519)
 
4726 Marjorie is found in 1911 residing with her Cuthbert grandparents. No birth record has been found for her. Her exact parents are not known for certain. However, George is the only one who is close to being the correct age. Cuthbert, Marjorie (I3549)
 
4727 Marjorie was only child of Robert I "the Bruce" King of Scotland from his marriage to Isabella of Mar. Marjorie was held hostage in the Tower of London by King Edward the Longshanks in order to compel surrender from her father, Robert the Bruce. Marjorie was later freed and married Sir Walter Stewart who was a young knight and sixth family holder of the High Steward of Scotland. This marriage produced a son Robert Stewart who was to later become Robert II, King of Scotland (1371-90). Robert's birth was considered something of a miracle since he was delivered by caesarian section Marjorie died from a fall from her horse. Bruce, Marjorie Princess of Scots (I1881)
 
4728 Marjory (or May) is found in 1841 residing in Upper Hythie, Old Deer, Aberdeenshire, Scotland with her parents and siblings. She is not found with her family in 1851. Some online genealogies show her as identical with her sister Mary, but both sisters are found living together with their parents in 1841 and thus could not be identical. Stewart, Marjory May (I17525)
 
4729 Marjory resided at Ardvorlich Cottage and never married. Stewart, Marjory of Ardvorlich Cottage (I17544)
 
4730 Marjory Stewart (1828-1867) was also born in Edinburgh (St Andrews Parish), but lived in Argyllshire at Oban near the seaside and Ardchattan in the Highlands. She suffered many years with consumption and died at the Buchanan family home, Blarcreen, Ardchattan with her mother in attendance. She never married and had no children.

Stewart, Marjory (I25274)
 
4731 Marjory was widow of John Swinton, Of That Ilk, killed 1424 at Vernuil, France. Dunbar, Marjory (I5293)
 
4732 Marjory's seems to have used both Shaw and Anderson as a surname. Her husband Andrew Cuthbert's obit gives her maiden name as Anderson. Their marriage record and the birth record of their son Alexander gives her surname as Shaw. In 1841 and 1851 she is shown as "Marjory (or May) Shaw" and is residing with her mother Janet Anderson and grandfather Alexander Anderson in Cummingston, Duffus, Moray, Scotland.

No corresponding birth record has been found for Marjory (May) Shaw or Anderson. It would appear that her father's name is likely Shaw and that she was either illegitimate or her father died when she was a child and her mother never remarried. The fact that no birth record can be found would lend preference to the suggestion that her birth was illegitimate.

A close birth has been found for Marjory Shaw, b/bap 17 OCT/27 DEC 1837 in Abernethy and Kincardine, Moray, Scotland, (Upper Spey, south of Granttown) to Alexander Shaw and Ann Anderson. However this family can be found residing in said parish in 1851 and thus could not be the same Marjory.

Marjory and Andrew's marriage record describes her as residing "in Cummingston" which is about 1 mile west of Hopeman where Andrew was residing.

Marjory's gravestone indicates her birth as 1832, however, census records consistently show her as born in 1835/36, This would mean that she was only 15 or 16 when she married Andrew Cuthbert. This could be the reason for "padding" her birth date on her grave stone.

The 1841 census shows May Shaw, age 5, residing in Cummingston, Duffus, Moray, Scotland with Janet Anderson 35 and Alexander Anderson 75, pauper -- all born in Moray, Scotland. The 1851 census shows similar. In 1861 Marjory (shown as "Mary") was residing with her husband and son in Mosa, Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada. 
Shaw-alias-Anderson, Marjory (I14172)
 
4733 Mark Edgar and Jean Weddell's marriage was registered in both Coldingham, Berwickshire, Scotland and also at Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England.

"From the Coldingham OPR: "Coldingham, Sep 20, 1780. Booked names in order to marriage Mark Edgar in this parish and Jean Weddell in Berwick-upon-Tweed. John Johnson for the Bridegroom and James Ludgate for the Bride Caution. - Proclaimed according to order and married on Sat 17 Sep by the Vicar of Berwick." 
Edgar, Mark (I5503)
 
4734 Mark won the Military Cross in France in WWI. He never married but had a successful career in the family business. Moody-Stuart, Mark (I11438)
 
4735 Marriage #006200-76 (Middlesex Co): Samuel DEGRAW, 23, hotel keeper, Canada, Ingersol, s/o Benjamin & Alice, married Elizabeth PRANGLEY, 21, Canada, Strathroy, d/o George & Elizabeth, witn: John MALIN & Elizabeth PRANGLEY, both of Strathroy, 9 Feb 1876 at Strathroy. Prangley, Elizabeth (I12651)
 
4736 Marriage 30 Oct 1890 • Portadown, Armagh, Northern Ireland, 1st. Presbyterian Church of Portadown. Thomas, full age, Mill Worker. Father Brown Young, Labourer. Annie, full age, Mill Worker. Father John McKenna, Labourer. Witnesses: Robert & Maggie Young Campbell (Thomas' sister and her husband).

In 1890, Thomas was residing in Portadown and employed as a mill worker. He later worked at the Portadown boot factory.

His first wife, Annie Brown, McKenna, died of heart failure on 26 Dec 1900. He married secondly, thirteen months later, on 2 Feb 1902 in Portadown, Armagh, Northern Ireland to Jemima Mina Ferris, born 20 Feb 1868, in Armagh, previously employed as a household maid, whom he later attempted to murder. She later moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA where she died of natural causes.

At the time of his death, Thomas, age 38, was living on West Street in Portadown. According to an inquest he died of a hemorrhage due to self inflicted wound to the throat while of an unsound mind. He slit his throat with a knife after attempting to kill his second wife Mina. 
Young, Thomas (I21090)
 
4737 Marriage and children not confirmed. See notes on wife. Campbell, John or James (I2206)
 
4738 Marriage and children shown here are according to Malcolm Gray and may be unreliable. McNaughton, Mary (I10886)
 
4739 Marriage and children shown here are according to Malcolm Gray's notes (though he incorrectly shows the wife as Catherine Campbell) and supplemented with IGI data. This family is not verified. McNaughton, William (I10942)
 
4740 Marriage and children shown here are based on IGI data only and are not verified. McNaughtan, Peter (I10836)
 
4741 Marriage Certificate - Original. Source (S99)
 
4742 Marriage info and Emma's surname comes from OneWorldTree. In 1881 she is living as a widow with her daughter Lucy on the Isle of Wight. Norris, Emma (I11932)
 
4743 Marriage is unconfirmed. Prangley, Isabel Clara (I12776)
 
4744 Marriage is unconfirmed. It is believed that this is the Alice Prangley who married Harcourt Irvine Wiley in Dresden, as she is the only Alice close to the correct age and living in that area. Prangley, Alice (I12442)
 
4745 Marriage license indicates her name as Mary A. Cuthbert, not Mary Jane Cuthbert. It indicates she is from the town of Dresden.

Mary Jane Cuthbert was a staunch Presbyterian. She would have nothing to do with the United Church of Canada. She was organist and choir director at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Dresden for 19 years. She was succeeded in that position by one of the McVeans. Mary Jane hated life on the farm and finally convinced her husband Ernest to give up his passion for farming and move into town. 
Cuthbert, Mary Jane (I3698)
 
4746 Marriage may have been double registered in Allendale and Alston, suggesting that Jacob's wife, Margaret, may have come from Alston, Cumberland.

Inscription in the Allendale Church: "To the memory of Margaret Dawson, late, the wife of Jacob Dawson, who died the 11 Apr 1821, aged 62 years. the above named Jacob Dawson died 24 July 1827, aged 68 years. This monument was erected by Abraham Dawson of Newcastle, solicitor, as a token of regard for his parents."

Text from Plaque on wall of St Peter?s Church, Allendale: In memory of Margaret Dawson, Late the wife of Jacob Dawson of Allenheads, who died the 11th April 1821, Aged 62 years, A good wife, A kind mother, and a true friend. The above named Jacob Dawson died the 24th July 1827 aged 69 years. This monument was erected by Abraham Dawson of Newcastle, Solicitor as a token of regard for his parents. 
Dawson, Jacob (I3886)
 
4747 Marriage not found in OPR (Malcolm Gray) Stewart, Janet (I16681)
 
4748 Marriage record indicates Lydia's age at her wedding as being twenty-something, but the second digit is illegible. It indicates she is from Chenguacousy Township, but the handwriting is hard to read on that name, and no such place is known to this author. I believe it should be Nassagaweya Township, in nearby Halton County. A secondary source record has since been found indicating that Lydia was living in Nassagaweya at the time of her marriage, but that she was born in Coburg, Hamilton Township, Northumberland County.

Lydia's birth family records their name (still today) as Sammons, not Simmons. However all Stewart records for her indicate it as Simmons or Simons. 
Sammons, Lydia (I14094)
 
4749 Marriage record says that Alexander was from Fortingal parish. Stewart, Alexander (I14807)
 
4750 Marriage registration: "George Haddlesay, farmer of Skirpenbeck to Jane Wheatherill of Garraby in this parish, by licence. Wits William Weatherill, Mary Weatherill, Richard West, and William West. Haddlesay, George (I7388)
