The last link above contains info on Wm. Stewart, under Male Heads of Families, 1834, he is listed as a cooper, resident Kilpatrick, 1835 resident at Dalnotter & 1837 again at Kilpatrick.
Scotlands People has Robert born 08.05.1846 (FR1006) at Old or West Kilpatrick (ref. 40353).
I can actually see Old Kilpatrick from hills just behind my house, in a straight line it's probably less than 10 miles away.
I've moved this to a new topic to save any confusion,

Does anyone know the paternal grand uncles and aunts of the explorer David Livingstone?
My great great great grandmother was Ann Livingstone, said to be the daughter of a soldier who died in the French wars while her mother was pregnant with her or shortly after she was born. I am trying to find a connection because it has been passed down through our generations that Ann was in somewhat related to the explorer.
Ann married a William Stewart at Old Kilpatrick in 1834. William had a cooperage there.. Their son Robert Stewart was my great grand father.

Welcome to the Clan Maclea Livingstone Society Forum.
Dr. Livingstone's grandparents were Neil Livingston Sr. and Mary Morrison who were married in 1774 in Lettermore, Mull, but they were there for a only a few years and eventually moved on to the Isle of Ulva by the late 1770's apparently and then in 1792 Neil Sr. and family went to lowland Lanarkshire and to Blantyre. No information from either Dr. Livingstone or his family as to the names of his Livingston grandfather's siblings or who Neil Livingston Senior's parents were. Neil Livingston Sr. was thought to have born sometime in the 1740's prior to 1746 probably as Dr. Livingstone stated his grandfather Livingston's father (unnamed) died at the Battle of Culloden which took place in April of 1746. There does not seem to be a surviving birth or baptism record for Dr. Livingstone's grandfather the could identify the parents and indicate perhaps who his siblings were in the 18th century. Regrettably Dr. Livingstone himself did not provide much info in way of detailed family history that identified his grandfather's family members which would have most helpful given the interest of so many Livingstons worldwide in trying to determine if they are related to famous missionary, doctor and explorer.
