But there are some problems. You have a Peter born to James STEWART and Agnes ADAMSON in 1834. The only Peter Stewart in the 1834 OPR christening records in Kirriemuir was christened 20 April 1834 to James Stewart and Jean CRICHTON. I do have a connection to James Stewart and Ann WATT as one of their daughters married my grandfather's brother. However, I have not been able to confirm that this James was the son of James Stewart and Agnes Adamson. He is not with them on the 1841 census when he would have been only 11. I have not been able to locate James and Ann after the 1891 census and can't locate a death record for either of them. That, of course, doesn't mean the records don't exist, just that I haven't found them. Do you have any documentation matching the two James'? Also, the Susan who married George FYFFE. You have her b. 1836 (which matches her as age 15 living with her parents on the 1851 census). However, marrying in 1852 would make her only 16 which is unusually young at that time in Kirriemuir. So I went to Scotlandspeople and got her death registration. The Susan Stewart who was married to George Fyffe died in Kirriemuir in 1904, age 71. Her husband was the informant and he gave her parents as (blank) Stewart and Isobel Barrie. The age 71 matches a Susan Stewart ch. in March 1832 to James Stewart and Isobel Barrie. The only additional information I can give you is that the senior James appears on the 1851 census and it gives his birthplace as Dundee and his age as 53. Does that help anything at this time?
