Hi, I wonder if anyone can assist me in proving that I am on the right 'line' re my tree and assist in me getting further back.....

I have traced my Stenhouse family back from the Scottish Broxburn/Bathgate area Stenhouses in the 1880's to Robert Stenhouse bn 15.04.1718 in Inverkeithing, Scotland, then to his father, Robert Stanehus, bn 30.12.1683, then to his father, Robert Stanehus or Stenhus bn c1658, Dunfermline. The latter was married to Margaret Russell c 1680. I am stuck there at the moment.

I have found few Stenhus's dated 1500's, on various sites whilst researching, one in particular, a William Stenhus bn 1595 was mentioned on the net by an Auatralian chap as being one of my relations but I have lost his address and I would like to know if anyone can help me either connect them or take me further back.

Another 'fly in the ointment' is that I found a tree on a site, Midlothian Miscallenae, which traced two Robert Stenhouse bn 1718 in Inverkething but stated that neither 'had any issues'. The grandfather of these two was a John Stenhouse 1614 - 1682, the two Roberts had different fathers though, one was a John 1680 - 1764 and a James, similar date range.

I have tried to gain access to the aforementioned MM site via their 'Contact Us' button with no reply forthcoming.

Can anyone 'put me right' ?
