Commentary
William’s parentage
William’s marriage was proclaimed in 1800 in Kirkcaldy. It is reasonable to assume that Wiliam’s baptism was that at Kirkcaldy in 1781. There were no other William Stewarts baptized there in the period. The baptism entry records William’s parents as Alexander Steuart and Christian Russel.
