Hi Elaine Thank you for your kind offer. Unfortunately I do not have the parents names - this is what I am trying to find out. Must admit, my heart sank a 1000 feet when I read the comment that Margaret Minnie STEWART had come out to the Cape Colony at the age of 18. Either her father had died prior to the trip out or died in the Cape Colony prior to her marriage as her mother gave consent. If I work on the assumption that Allan STEWART was Margret's uncle I am inclined to think that Margaret's dad's name was Alexander [Allan's eldest child was named Alexander]. Unable to check on NAAIRS as it is down but will follow this up later. Thanks ever so much for all the prodding.
