I have some info in regards to a Jean goldie but to which of these two I am not sure. But this info does not fit either becaue the info you have shows Jean as a daughter of a Hugh Goldie anyways this is what i have from another source.... "Jean "Goldie" Loggie and her husband Hugh Stewart from Auchinleck next to Muirkirk parish and their children first immigrated to Chicago USA in...I think early 1880's after the 1881 census. In the early 1870's coal reserves were discovered in Illinois southwest of Chicago and new mines were opened in an area near western Will and eastern Grundy counties (mine owners were keen for the influx of foreign labor to keep wages low). The man who sent me this info's Great Grandfather William "B" Stewart initially stayed behind and lived in the Loggie household in Muirkirk rather than with the Stewart's in Auchinleck. He was born out of wedlock prior to Jean's marriage to Hugh, that's not too unusual but his biological father, James Begg, signed his birth cert and gave him his name. He shows up in the 1871 British census as a 1 month old in the Loggie house and 1881 as a 10 year old with Elizabeth Blythe Loggie as the only other occupant. He came to Illinois and rejoined the Ste! warts using that name after Elizabeth's death." I am having much trouble trying to find out what Jean is mine, and have come across a lot of your replies over the years to other people. Seems its a very difficult task. So many of the same names. You could be right with the James. When you say James is that the James that married Agnes Fulton (his grandfater was a hugh and great grandfater was a called James) Or their first born James?
