Aileen: Where did you get this information from?:
1907 STEWART MARY MCGREGOR ROBERTSON F 60 ST ANDREW (DUNDEE) DUNDEE CITY/ANGUS It seems that Mary McGregor and James Stewart weren't married. Did she marry William Robertson? He seems to have disappeared after this.
On William McGregor's birth cert it says William McGregor or Stewart illegimate so we don't know who William's dad was but at least we know his grandparents. Thanks

Thanks for this everyone. I am trying to take it all in. I don't know what happened to Andrew Connelly or if Catherine Garland and he had any children. Catherine Garland died on her birthday! So Jessies parents were Margaret Rutherford and James Cliff but they didn't marry?
Margaret's parents were Jean Smeaton and James ?.
Do you think that Catherine Edison 1833 was born Rutherford and is the same person as Catherine Addison and is Jessies sister? Where did the name Addison come from?
I haven't looked at the McGregors yet but will do so tomorrow. Thanks so much for this.

Neil Stewart 1 5 MO...............son
Alexander Stewart 4..............illegitimate son
Catherine Mcleish 50........mother in law (of James)

From Clementina's birth cert it appears that James and Mary weren't married....she too is given as illegitimate

Mary McGregor Stewart Robertsons parents are given on death cert as Peter and Catherine McGregor ms McLeish

Both Euphemia b 1875 and Charlotte b1881 Rattray are illegitimate and have the surname McGregor or Stewart.

James appears to have died in 1873 so none of the children after this are his but may be William Robertson's

William McGregors family appear to be even more confusing

1907 STEWART MARY MCGREGOR ROBERTSON F 60 ST ANDREW (DUNDEE) DUNDEE CITY/ANGUS

William's mother Mary McGregor married to 1) James Stewart 2) William Robertson

William has a miriad of siblings

Aileen - if my tree is anything to go by, there could be a few! I have one who had 7 children with 4 different fathers and she never married any of them - although the fathers were all free to marry and so was she.

Aileen, could the maiden name for Jean be Smeaton?
