• Notes

  Duncan's father, John Stewart, is described in Stewarts of the South as having five sons, two of whom were adults, so Duncan Stewart must have been alive around 1815 when Stewarts of the South was written. There is a Duncan Stewart found in census records who born in Comrie in 1801 and was living in Glasgow in 1851 and 1861. There are only two Duncan Stewarts born in Comrie between 1790-1810 -- this Duncan Stewart, born in 1800, and an illegitimate son of Robert Stewart in Ardvorlich, born in 1795. Scottish naming tradition would suggest that this Duncan Stewart should have an eldest son named John and a second daughter named Ann, which is exactly what we find with the Duncan in Glasgow in 1851 and 1861. It is not confirmed that Duncan Stewart, born 20 Jan 1800 in Ardveich, Comrie is the same Duncan Stewart born 1801 in Comrie in the 1851 and 1861 censuses in Glasgow, but he is a perfect match with no other viable contenders. Duncan's only son John died in infancy and none of his daughters married. Thus his family line became extinct with the death of Duncan's last daughter. Duncan must have been successful in his business ventures as his widow's estate was valued at £4272, 5s, 9d on her death in 1881. (Roughly £658,000 in 2025, or $800,000 USD, or $1.2 million Canadian/Australian dollars.) Census records after 1881 show his daughters living off "income derived from interest on money." In 1851, at age 50, Duncan Stewart, born in Comrie, was residing at 34 Renfrew Lane in Barony, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. He was employed as a clerk. In 1861, at age 60, Duncan Stewart, born in Comrie, was residing 47 Renfrew Street in Barony, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. He was employed as a house factor. Duncan died sometime between 1861-1871 when his widow is found residing at 55 Renfrew Street in Barony, Lanarkshire, Scotland with their four adult daughters. Daughter Isabella was employed as a teacher. Daughter Ann was a milliner (a maker of women's hats). Daughter Isabella died between 1871-1881. In 1881, Duncan's widow's estate names their surviving children as daughters Ann, Jean and Margaret. By 1901, only daughters Ann and Jean appear to be still alive. They are unmarried and living off their own means.
