Hi all fellow McCuaig researchers I have always felt that Stewart #1 and Stewart #2 were the same person. Perhaps because I have been unable to find another Stewart McCuaig around at the same time. You will note that Stewart and Mary Campbell do not appear to be married in Sarah's death registration. This is a few years before he left for New Zealand. As for the tombstone with Stewart, John and Janet McCuaig John who died 13 Mar 1861 is the father of Stewart #1 who is also the informant on his father's death registration. Janet McCuaig (a widow married surname McMillan) died 8 Dec 1861 is the aunt of Stewart McCuaig. I believe this is also Stewart #1. He was the informant on her death registration also. She is the sister of his mother Elizabeth and they are both daughters of William McCuaig and Christian Graham. I thought I had figured out who the Stewart on the headstone is but as I am writing this I realize that I have absolutely no data on him at all. I guess that is what I get for doing my own thinking. I have no idea who he is. I wondered if he might be a brother to John. Perhaps an older brother being the reason there are no dates. This makes a lot of sense (to me) and might be good theory but I have nothing to back up the idea. I too would appreaciate it anyone out there has some information about Stewart #3, Monta Salmon Alberta, Canada

Hi Monta, My Stewart Mcleod, son of John & Betsy passed away in 1912 at the age of 83. He must be buried some where in the Otago area in theSouth Isalnd of New Zealand where they settle on arriving here. He married Elizabeth Grant after his arrival and she died on the 17th April 1934 aged 81 years. He was a brother to my gg/grandmother Eliza Campbell ( McLeod ) who was married to Duncan Campbell in Port Ellen on Islay on the 23td Jan.1862. Maybe this will help, great to talk to you all who may be related to us in New Zealand.
