Notes - According to Mrs Stewart of Milton, Christian is burried in Dean Cemetery, Edinburgh. Christian's daughter, Catharine Stewart, is recorded in The Ardvorlich History as "(McDonald of) Monachyle's niece". The IGI confirms Catharine's father's name was Alexander Stewart. It is most likely that the Alexander in question would be from Christian's home area and that they were married before moving to Edinburgh as it is highly unlikely that Christian would move from Balquhidder to Edinburgh as a single woman. Thus we can have some confidence in searching for Alexander in Stewarts of the South.
Two matches can be found for Alexander Stewarts residing in Edinburgh -- both were spirit dealers, both with two sons listed in Stewarts of the South and both born within two years of each other. The Alexander shown here is preferred as the entry specifies that he lived "at the foot of the Cannongate" which is where the two daughters were baptized. This entry also matches maternal onomastics.
Dean Cemetery opened in 1846 so Christian must have died later than 1846.
