I'm struggling to find John & Jessie's death records.

John Stewart (Stuart) was born in Pitmatchie Scotland in 1842 son of George Stewart (Stuart), coachman, and Christian Gaul (Gauld, Gaull)

Jessie Munro was born in Kilmuir Easter Scotland in 1839 named Janet Munro at birth, daughter of Donald Munro, shoemaker, and Mary McLean.

They married in Dingwall Scotland in 1864

Below is John, Jessie & the family in the 1901 Scotland census where Jessie (Janet) is referred to as 'Jane'

1901 Scotland Census
about John Stewart
Name: John Stewart

I don't know what happened to them after 1901, I guess it's possible that they could have moved to England or elsewhere.

I have their birth records and marriage record. I also have census records.

I'd love to find their death records. Please can anyone help?

Many thanks Dianne

Hi again,

I've checked out those two entries for Janet Stewart/Munro and unfortunately they're not my great grandma.

One thing is that on her marriage cert to John Stewart in 1864 (Dingwall) she is recorded as 'Jessie', and on census records she is also 'Jessie' except for the 1901 census where she is 'Jane' and the 1861 census which I've been unable to trace.

Many thanks once again Jeanette,

Dianne x
