Date: Sun, 26 May 2002 17:19:52 +0100


My maternal grandmother was Charlotte Jane Stewart who married my maternal
grandfather Cornelius O'Sullivan. I am anxious to trace STEWART relations
and I am giving all of the details that I have about my STEWART ancestors.
Do these details mean anything to anybody on the List? I look forward to
responses. My STEWART ancestors were members of the Presbyterian Church.
[1] MY GRANDMOTHER AND HER SIBLINGS

Claudy, County Londonderry.

brother John James Stewart, and died in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada,
on 2nd February 1960.

[2] MY STEWART GREAT-GRANDPARENTS
The parents of my maternal grandmother were John Stewart of Tullintrain and
Mary Charlotte Brown of Ballyarton. They were married in the Cumber Lower
Presbyterian Church on 25th March 1862. John Stewart was a farmer. Mary
Charlotte Brown was the daughter of Joseph Brown of Ballyarton, a farmer.
[3] MY STEWART GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER
My great-great-grandfather was James Stewart, a farmer of Tullintrain. In
Griffith's Valuation of County Londonderry, taken in 1858, he is recorded as
farming 28 acres as a tenant of Rev Thomas Lindessy.
[4] MY STEWART GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER
My great-great-great-grandfather was John Stewart who is recorded in the
Census of 1831 at Tullintrain, in the Parish of Upper Comber as head of a
household of 5 persons. They were a Presbyterian family of 4 [parents, a
son, and a daughter], together with a female Roman Catholic servant. No
other information is given on the Census sheet.
That completes the information that I have at present. Any additional
information about this family will be much appreciated.
