OOPS...
I forgot to add something.
The couple named James Stewart and Harriet Smart moved to Kinghorn in Fife where they had at least one more child.
Their daughters, Mary Ann and Ann both died in infancy and deaths are both registered in Cranston

Harriet Stewart/ Smart died in Kinghorn in 1874 but, an 8yr old child named David Stewart also died in Kinghorn in 1869.
David does not appear on the 1871 census with his parents which indicates that this is his death and not the person/ father being sought in the OP

Davids daughter Henrietta was married three times
1st WILLIAM PHILIPS
2END SPIERS
3RD RAMSEY
I have the cert for the first one but it she was only divorced in 1950 I was wondering if she was ever married to the other two but they all died before her ...or any children born to Henrietta {Stewart} with second husband !!! SPIERS

Thank you

Pauline,
Was her name Harriet or Henrietta ?

When did she marry William Philips and what was her father's occupation on the certificate?

Pauline

Pauline Report 10 Aug 2017 00:21

Hello
Sorry it was Henrietta she married William Phillips in 1911 Fife...her dad was David General Labourer

GlasgowLass

GlasgowLass Report 10 Aug 2017 01:03

To know that her marriage took place in Scotland would have been helpful.


I can see from a search of SP that appears to be on the 1911 census in Buckhaven.( Henritta Stewart age 20yrs)
I can't see anyone else named Stewart on this index 459/2/5/5
Is it this census that states she was born in Northumberland?

I assume she is the woman who died in Edinburgh in 1982 aged 91yrs ?


3 names only on the death index:
Stewart/Spears/ Ramsay and no Phillips mentioned on index.
Whoever registered this death, omitted her 1st husband



STEWART
HENRIETTA
PHILLIPS
WILLIAM
1911
459/2 69
69
Buckhaven

I have looked at this marriage and I have never seen a Scottish marriage cert that names a father only!
Is her mother named on her death cert?


SPEARS
JOSEPH
STEWART
HENRIETTA
1950
442/ 198 ......... Also indexed under Henrietta Phillips
Kirkcaldy

RAMSAY
DAVID
STEWART
HENRIETTA
1954
442/ 264...... Also Indexed under Henrietta Spears and Speirs
Kirkcaldy


Unless she had been living with Joseph Spears for 20-30 yrs before her 1950 marriage, I would very much doubt that she had any children with him because she was about 70yrs old when she married him and 74 yrs old when she married David Ramsay.


Edit:
I can find just one child named Henrietta Stewart born in Northumberland, 2 yrs either side of 1890.
Registration place: Belford
This girl's parents seem to be called Robert And Elizabeth

Fife Free Press, & Kirkcaldy Guardian 20 February 1954

Joseph Spears died on 16 Feb 1954 at :14 Leslie Street Kirkcaldy
He was 75 yrs old, and beloved husband of Henrietta Stewart.

However, on the 1st anniversary of his death, there were 4 In Memorium notices which all came from his children and grandchildren.
There was one from a son named Fred.
One each from daughters named Molly and Emma
the fourth refers to Joseph as a father and grandfather which came from:
Jenny, Andrew, Drew and Stewart


We have no idea how long Henrietta's marriage to William Phillips lasted.
All we know is that they divorced in 1950 and Henrietta married Joseph Spears in that same year.
Joseph died in 1954 and Henrietta must have married David Ramsay within weeks/months.

This is bizarre.
I wonder if this article relates to both of Henrietta's future husbands . LOL

Fife Free Press, & Kirkcaldy Guardian ****20 July 1935****

David Ramsay was a 63 yr old labourer of Bridgeton, Kirkcaldy
Joseph Spears of Kirkcaldy was having a drink in a local pub
David Ramsay, walked into the pub and without provocation, punched Joseph Spears twice in the face.

In Court, Ramsay admitted the assault.
Sentence was deferred for a year if David Ramsay promised to lay off alcohol in this period.
Later that year, David Ramsay was in court again.
He sold a Motorbike but neither he or the purchaser bothered to inform Fife Council that the vehicle had changed hands.
Both parties were fine £20

If it's the same man, he must have been about 80yrs old when he married Henrietta
