More info on Richard Steward. He did marry an Indian woman, her name was Beatrice ( don't know her surname), he had about 2 or 3 businesses, 1 was leather & saddle business. Him & Beatrice had a son but Beatrice couldn't have anymore children, Richard came over to England in 1953 for a holiday & wanted to take my mum back with him but her father John Francis Steward said no. He lived in Lucknow, India as that is part of the address on the letter my mum received from him. He died in India. My mum has told me she doesn't know when he went or how he travelled there or if he was in the war to have arrived there. She doesn't know when he died either. There's no one left on mum's side of the family to ask so don't know anything more. Hope someone can help with this :-)

The only thing I do know about Richard Steward is that he went to India, he married a lady in India but don't know if she was from India or England. I got this info off my mum as she has a letter from Richard & at one stage wanted to take her to live in India but my grandparents wouldn't allow it. My mum was born in 1938. I know the letter exists as I have seen it. I'll have to see if my mum can tell me anymore info as to when he went to India & by what means. Thanks for any help on this :-)

I cant see the full 1911 census but there is Richard Stewart
born 1888 Manchester living in Hudderfield

Could that be him

Try freebmd or Lancsbmd

You've got the details

Sorry, I can't find him in the 1911.J

Hi, could anyone help me to find out what happened to Richard Steward. He is mentioned on the 1901 Census but nothing after that. How do I go to find him? Hope someone can help. Thank Paula :-)

Family 'stories' are often just that.

So don't be disappointed if it turns out to have been a fabrication.

If you are serious about researching your line, you will not be able to do it without some expenditure.

The sites I gave you are FREE - try them

To go back to Mary will require a lot of Scottish research. My paternal paternal line come from Shetland. Because of the way Shetland became a part of Scotland and how it was ruled, there is a big link back to the Stewart kings. In Shetland many years ago was a gentleman who spent a lot of time researching in various record offices. Whatever he found, he presented to the relevant family in a short or long handwritten document. I have seen several of them given to my family on the island of Whalsay. I have a cousin who was given a document listing her ancestors and showing her as a 24th direct descendant of Robert The Bruce via the Stewarts and Bruces. Given that on my island everyone is related so many different ways my line is entwined with hers. The Steward surname came, I was told from one of their kinsman who was called 'Walter The Steward'.

If you want to prove your descent, it is going to take some really hard work, probably in person in Edinburgh. There may be enough documentation to prove it but don't set yourself up to be disappointed. If you just simply want to enjoy learning about the Bruces and Stewarts, see what you can read about Earl Patrick Stewart and his family. He is one of my lot.

I have been looking on different sites but not had much luck with very little info. To view a lot of the records you have to subscribe.

Hi Sylvia,
I'm sorry but I don't remember seeing any responses to my post back in 2006/7 but I will check.

Thanks
Paula

I'm curious ..................



did you not get any responses to this posting, or any of the others you've just raised, back in 2006/7???


At that time, the responses would have been sent as a pm to your message box on GR, and GR would then have notified you by email that there were messages waiting.


There were always lots of us waiting to work on these requests!




sylvia

so that means that you are a descendant of James VI or Scotland (James 1 of England) :-D



he was her only child!



and, unlike a man, she could not have any unknown bastards!


so that means you have to work backwards from your grandfather.



You could also google Mary Queen of Scots, there's several versions of her family tree on the internet.

Hi, thanks for the info. I have a challenge on my hands. I am trying to find a way back to Mary Queen of Scots as I have been told from my mother that her dad, John Francis Steward had told her that we are related to Mary Queen of Scots so now I am trying to find this info out. Hoping that someone could help me.
Thanks Paula
