• Notes

  Family records (provided by descendant Ellena Biggs) indicate John Steuart married Christian/Christina King on 14 July 1796 in Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland and that the family later resided in Thornhill (or at least son James did.) They had the following children: 1. James, b 1797, bap 18 Dec in Kincardine, d 1859 in Terang, m 4 Oct 1829 in St. Ninians, Stirlingshire, to Margaret Rue/Rowe, had son John b 11 Dec 1836 in Bannockburn, Stirlingshire, d 1912 in Terang, m Elizabeth Crawford 11 Sep 1865. In 1841, James was not residing with his parents. He may be the James Stewart found residing at Baker Street, St. Ninians, Stirlingshire, Scotland, employed as an "inner" (obvious transcription error) and showing no family. In 1851, James was residing in chapel Croft, St. Anne, Stirlingshire, Scotland, employed as a weaver. He was residing with his wife, Margaret and children christina, John, Isabella and Jane. Daughter Jane is not mentioned in later family records but is found in later census records with her widowed mother. In 1851, James is also found residing at 150 Main Street in Gorbals (Glasgow), Lanarkshire, employed as a weaver and shown as born in Monteith, Perthshire. He was residing with his wife, Margaret, born in Bannockburn, Stirlingshire, and their son John, age 17, born in Bannockburn, Stirlingshire, and also employed as a weaver. A member-submitted note attached to the Ancestry transcription indicates that the mother's name is Margaret Rue. This could seem to indicate that the family maintained two residences. However there is a matching birth for a John Stewart b 1836 in Gorbals to James Stewart and Margaret Calder. It seems that another researcher has conflated two families. James and his wife, Margaret, and son, John, immigrated in 1852. James's brothers Alexander Stewart, Duncan Stewart and sister Jean were already in the Western District of Victoria at that time. James' death registration indicates that he came from Thornhill, Perthshire, Scotland and that he had been in Australia for 7 years at the time of his death in 1859. It also mistakenly records that he had been married 20 years, when it should be 30 years. His father's name is given as John. James' wife, Margaret, appears to have returned to Scotland after James' death, as she is found residing there with her daughters as late as 1871. (Refer to Margaret's notes for more details.)
