Notes - Charles Cordiner Stewart was born in 1861 while his parents were estranged -- his father having abandoned them. His parents reconciled before he was 3 years old. His name is unusual. Cordiner is not known to be a family name (unless it comes from further back on his mother's side than this research project has probed), but Charles Cordiner was the name of a local Methodist minister in Aberdeen at the time. It's not known if there was any connection.
In 1871, at age 9, Charles C Stewart was residing at 59 Virginia Street, St. Nicholas, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. He was a student.
In 1881, (age illegible), Charles C Stewart was residing at 4 Frederick Street, St. Nicholas, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a ship's steward.
Later that year, in 22 Aug 1881, at age 23, in St. Nicholas burgh, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, Charles C.

Witnessed by James Yeats Stewart, brother.
Charles and Agnes moved to London, England, where their first three children were born between 1886-1890.
In 1891, Charles' wife, Agnes Stewart, was residing at 83 Wales Street, St. Nicholas, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with their young children. She was described as a ship's steward's wife. Charles was not with them and is presumed to have been at sea.
On 27 Nov 1898, at age 37, Charles Cordiner Stewart, ship's steward, husband of Agnes Fraser, son of Alexander Stewart, insurance agent (deceased) and Ann Yeats (living), died from "general paralysis of the insane" in the Royal Lunatic Asylum, George Street, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

In 1901, Charles' widow, Agnes Stewart, was residing at 24 Blackfriars St., St. Nicholas, Aberdeen West, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with her young children. Also residing with them was 18-year-old Florence Stewart(born 1883 in Drumblade, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, working as a domestic servant.
