Surnames: Stewart, Turnbull Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AmJBAIB/1244.1246 Message Board Post: Can you add any other information about John or William? We have a family, who began as Turnbulls, but who mostly ;later changed their surname 'back'; to Stewart. Children: William 1825, David 1826, John 1828, Janet 1830, Ellen 1835, George 1838 & Isabella 1848. All but Isabella were born in Dundee. All but David were in Edinburgh in 1851. David was in Newcastle, married. I have located all but John & William's lines. Family rumour was that a John who may or may not be this one fled from England fearing the authorities, after throwing a man overboard in a temper. (this John was a ship's captain). Isabella added Stuart as a second name, keeping Turnbull as her surname and married & went to Canada. David kept Turnbull as a second name and had Stewart as his surname. (it's a long story why...!)
