Find Ancestors

Looking back through the censuses, Barclay and Janet/Jessie only had one child, a daughter, Johan/Johanna, born 1859.
She married John Cargill in 1886.

So presumably Georgina's mother.

Tree on Ancestry has Georgina Black born 13th July 1882, Gourdon, Kincardineshire. Married Alexander Criggie on 3rd June 1919. He was born 1874 and died in 1929.

Robert Stewart born about 1874, Redgorton, Perthshire.

She's listed as their daughter in 1891 - or at least that's what the transcription says - but given Jessie/Janet's age, she must have been their grand-daughter as stated in 1901;

Georgina Bladk

I assume this is Georgina in 1901:

Happy birthday, Dea!


In 1911 there is no Robert Stewart aged 15-40 in the Stonehaven area.
There's one in Inverbervie, Kincardineshire, but he's only 9.

Where was William born, please?

Georgina was 79 when she died in 1962 in Stonehaven district, so born c1883.

GEORGINA

Bervie or Inverbervie

There is no Georgina Black aged 27-31 anywhere in Aberdeenshire in 1911.
Nor in Inverbervie, Kincardineshire.

Unless I'm missing it.
I'm not getting any younger either!

Thank goodness for that !! - I re-read the thread several times but couldn't work out where Sterling came from.

I too have 'senior moments' nowadays and as it is my birthday today I am even more 'senior' than I was yesterday, I was getting quite worried ;-) :-D :-D. All is well now though ...............

Hi Dea

Senior moment. Mixing up two separate threads! Should have waited till I was fully awake!

E.

Hi ErikaH,

Sorry, have I missed something here? - where does 'Stirling' come in please?

Dea x

Googling ' Mitten of Barris' produces the following result, which may of course be irrelevant


Mitton of Barras
Stonehaven AB39 2UH

Stonehaven is some distance from Stirling

You say above that Georgina married Alexander Criggie in 1929 ???

Should this be 1919 perhaps ??

Look for him on 1911 census - available only on SP, and not on subscription.

Presumably the location you give for Robert is from the child's birth cert, so you won't know where he was born.

If not, please clarify.

There are 100 - 150 deaths on CWGC site for the name Robert (or the initial 'R') Stewart during WW1 so we really do need a bit more info.

As you seem to know exactly where he was born, have you any idea of 'when' - even an approximate year would be helpful.

Any little snippet could lead us a bit further.

What details do you have on Georgina please?

I have a tricky one here hoping someone can help with the little information that I have on him.
Robert Stewart a Farm Labourer of Mitten of Barris kenneff & Georgina Mackie Black had a son (illegitimate) William Stewart on 3rd June 1913 he died 12th August 1960
Georgina went on the marry a Alexander Criggie 5th September 1929 they had 2 children together
I have been told Robert died in WW1 ?
I am looking for further information on Robert Stewart
Thank You
