Notes - William is not mentioned in the letters of his brother George, however, according to Malcolm Sisson's notes, William lived at Middle Grange in Peterhead and is buried at Peterhead. In 1841 William was unmarried and working as an agricultural labourer on his brother's farm at Copland Hill in Peterhead. After his brother's death, William is found in 1851 (as "Stuart") residing at Milltown of Crimond, Crimond, Aberdeenshire, Scotland employed as a farm overseer for William Lawrence. In 1861 William was residing at Lochside in Peterhead with a wife and daughter, Mary. He was employed as a farm overseer with six labourers, including 3 ploughmen, 2 cattlemen, and 2 agricultural labourers. William has not been found in 1871. Given that William was shown in 1841 and 1851 with no wife and children and in 1861 he has a wife and a 22 year old daughter, it's possible Mary may not be his biological daughter, but may be a step-daughter and Margaret may have had Mary from a previous marriage. No IGI record has been found for Mary's birth.
According to the late Bernard Stewart's research, this William was identical with William Stewart in Peterhead who was the father of Peter Stewart, founder of Stuart & Co. Granolithic in Edinburgh. This association has now been disproved as both Williams can be found separately in 1841 and 1851.
