• Notes

  Robert Stewart was born about 1791 in either Balquhidder or Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. No matching record for his birth has been found in either parish. No matching birth has been found in Callander parish either. The 1851 census indicates that Robert was born in Balquhidder, however his death certificate says he was born in Comrie. The census is presently preferred as this information presumably came from Robert himself and was given during his lifetime, whereas the death certificate information comes from Robert's son. Robert's death certificate in Australia also indicates that his parents' names were Duncan Stewart and Janet Stewart. No corresponding birth record has been found for Robert. Robert married on 7 DEC 1825 in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland to Mary MCCALLUM, b 30 OCT 1793 in Killin Perthshire, Scotland, daughter of John McCallum and Janet Clark. In 1841 the family was residing in Duchruin, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland where Robert was employed as a shepherd. In 1851 the family was residing in Ducheran (sic Duchruin), Glenartney, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland where Robert was employed as a shepherd. Duchruin has been identified as an extinct property in Glen Artney formerly located adjacent to Dalchruin. This family immigrated to Australia in 1852 aboard the ship, Miltiades. Listed on the ship's register is Robert Stewart, 58, Mary Stewart, 48, Duncan Stewart, 21, Janet Stewart, 18, Robert Stewart, 14, John Stewart, 5. Note that daughter Margery is not present. Mary McCallum died 23 Oct 1885 in Victoria, Australia. Her death certificate records her parents' names as "John McCallum and Mother not known." Her son Robert Stewart was the informant. It also lists her children as Marjory - dead, Duncan - dead, Jessie - dead, Robert - age 47, John - age 45.
