• Notes

  John Stewart was born 20 Oct 1811 in Wester Torrie, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of James Stewart and Mary McKenzie. John Stewart married on 16 Feb 1838 in Dundee, Angus, Scotland, to Clarinda Sword. In 1841, at age 25 (sic, 30), John Stewart was residing at Carriber, West Lothian, Scotland, with his wife. He was employed as a blacksmith. (Subsequent census records consistently show John Stewart's place of birth as Inverkeithing, Fifeshire, Scotland, while he was actually born in Kilmadock. This anomoly is unexplained and might raise the question as to whether the correct birth or family has been identified in census records. However, his death certificate confirms that his parents were James Stewart, a wright, and Mary McKenzie, and that he was married to Clarinda Sword. And no matching birth record for another John Stewart, son of James Stewart and Mary McKenzie, approximately the same age in or near Inverkeithing, has been found.) In 1851, at age 39, John Stewart was residing at 9 High Terrace in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland, with his wife and their three children. He was employed as a journeyman [illegible] dresser. His birth place is given as Inverkeithing. In 1861, at age 49. John Stewart was residing at 4 Big Jacks Close in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland, with his wife and their three children. He was employed as a journeyman iron dresser. John Stewart, iron dresser, husband of Clarinda Sword, died 30 Jan 1863, age 51, son of James Stewart, wright, and Mary McKenzie, deceased. Cause of death: fractures of thighs and sanguination (loss of blood), five days. Informant: Clarinda Stewart, widow.
