    1. [NIR-DOWN] Stewart family in the 1911 census living in Tirkelly
    2. David Millan
    3. Hi. I found in the recently released Co Down census [http://www.nationalarchives.ie/ ] a few names that I am interested in. These included: In Tirkelly in the Lisnisk Townland Susan Stewart, age 26 Joseph Stewart age 22 Samuel Stewart age 15 and Alfred Stewart age 15 Form A is at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002141763/ On the Form B1 line 12 [at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002141735/], the name of the Landholder is given as James Stewart. Now James Stewart if the father of these 4 [& Edith mentioned below] so he must be around somewhere but so far I have not found him as I have neither age, occupation or location to help identy him. However the right hand column [19] on Form B1 which is headed "No. on Form M1 if House is on the Holding of a Landholder". Against thee name of James Stewart is the figure 20. Any suggestions please on how this information might be used to find James? Another sibling is Edith Stewart and I believe this is her in Tirkelly age 14 : http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002141484/ living with an aunt/uncle named Stewart [a farmer] & Matilda Knox. I suspect that Matilda is a sibling of James because I am unaware of any aunts/uncles on their mother's side named Stewart or Matilda. James Stewart was married to Elizabeth Brontë, daughter of William Brontë & Mary Ann Honnah Another sibling that I have not found is William Stewart, born in Ballyward, Banbridge. He is probably the oldest of the 6 children & may well have left Co Down for South Africa by 1911. Later in life William hyphenated his surname to Brontë-Stewart which his descendants use to this day. If anyone else is researching these Stewarts & would like to exchange genealogy information then please get in touch with me. -- Regards David Skype name: themillans Now on Facebook
