In my ancestry, I have a John Stewart who married ? Ferguson (don't know the 1st name). Both had died before Nov 1878. To them was born a son, James Stewart, in 1805 or 1806 at Dowally, Perthshire. On August 20, 1829 at Caputh, James married Isobel Keay (b 1800, Caputh). To them were born 6 children, the eldest of which was Janet Fenwick Stewart born on February 12, 1830 at Caputh. Janet is my great grandmother. I'd love to hear from anyone who may be related to any of the above.
