Hi,

Could there have been a mix up with the fathers name?

Thank you to all,Iam still confused,names?But Ewan not Ewing is what I have,I dont think I have seen a family that chaged their surname as much as this lot.Or maybe they could not read or write! Iam sure Stevenson is the correct name for Ann,as Mary named one of her daughters Annie Stevenson Day. You all have done alot of work and Iam thankful.Deb

Hi Goldielocks

I have looked on SP for a marriage between a James Ewan and Annie Stevenson but nothing is showing up and have searched for a birth for Mary too but all the births around the date you gave do not match sorry.

Jacquline,Its a guess,thats why I need someone to help me with this as nothing seems to add up..Her daughter Mary married in Australia age18yrs, Deb

Here is the marriage for John and Ann.

As for Ewing/ Ewing, remember a lot of these people were illiterate, transcribers wrote names as they heard them so accents played a big part and yes, names did vary through the years but they are essentially the same.

Further north, Gaelic was still being anglicized so there is a lot more scope for mistakes.

You have a few children with middle names. These are usually surnames in the family, eg grandparents, g grandparents etc.

This is the birth on SP for the Mary that I found;

No Year Surname Forename Sex District City/County/MR GROS Data Image Extract
1 1868 EWEN MARY F DALZIEL /LANARK 639/00 0173



And if James was actually John we wouldn't be able to get a marriage certificate because SP starts in 1855 and their marriage was in 1854.

Dee,How will I know what the real surname Is.Would it make it impossible to go further back.?

Hi,

If you mean the surname Ewan/Ewen or Ewing and the different spelling of it, like already stated this was possibly down to the fact that everyone would hear and spell differently, and unfortunately you may never know the REAL surname and don't forget surnames did have the ability to change slightly over the years. As for John Ewan, well his place of birth helps and in 1851 he is living with a brother..... so with 2 of the boys names it would narrow the search down for his parentage.

Ann/Annie Stevensons though maybe a different kettle of fish... I couldn't see her in 1851 (only had a quick look though), so it maybe difficult to trace her back.

The years of birth for Mary's parents (James and Annie) C. 1848..... can I take it this was a guess, thinking if she was the first born then they would be approx 21 years of age at marriage?? And I presume James is named on Marys marriage certificate? What was his occupation??? I couldn't see John and Ann in 1881... so maybe John had died and Ann remarried??? If this is the case maybe Mary wasn't sure of her fathers name and maybe even used a stepfathers name??

Have you got a DOB for Mary Ewan? If not I think it may say on her death certificate...... hopefully if you could find this out it should confirm if the birth reg I found on SP is actually her.
