Hi Listers Have checked the VRI & the 1881 British Census & National Index for additional children for the following couple also S. People. Extract OPR – Parish of Edinburgh – County of Midlothian Robert STEWART - shoe maker – St Georges Parish Isabella KEAY – James Parish – daughter of Hugh KEAY – shoe maker – Edin. – 3 Banns proclaimed – no objection. banns read - 06 June 1824. Mathew Mitchell STEWART Born 20 Feb. !839 Christ. 30 Apr. 1839 Does anyone have ideas as where to go to find other possible children for the above couple? It seems so strange that there was only one child born approx. 15 years after the marriage even allowing for early death etc. I have not been able to trace this couple or Hugh Keay prior to the Banns in 1824 or prior to 1839.

Beth, You stated that you had checked the VRI, if you were checking the VRI on the www.familysearch.org website then you are out of luck It does not include the UK. To see the UK VRI you must visit the local FHC and review the Files on BIVRI2 or order the disk set from the LDS Distribution Office in your area or via the Salt Lake Office in Utah USA. The entry below lists the Parish Registers of Cannonagate Church Edinburgh 1564 - 1872 as the reference, ( Baptisms, 1830-1855. Marriages, 1820-1855. (Preferred film for viewing. Use this before ordering the other filming.)) You could call this film in at your local FHC and go through it, probably handwritten so it will be a slow process. I have no seen the films. I did a quick check for a marriage and other kids but did not see any -- leave the reviewing to your review of the files.
