Stuarts to South Africa and New Zealand
G'day all - I didn't know about this site, what fun!
My grandparents emigrated from Scotland in 1905, James Henderson Stuart.A great uncle went to New Zealand but either didn't stay there, or died childless.My grandfather was related to the James Henderson who was First Mate on the Cutty Sark and captain of the Thermopolyae.Another seafaring Captain relative was Capt William Stuart of the Loch Etive etc.JHS was born in Peterhead.
There is a legend of one person in each generation carrying the "Stuart Line" in one of their hands, and I have it.Do I have any relatives that I don't know about?Does anyone else know anything about this "Stuart Line"?
Slainte!
