Hi we have a line of Turnbulls descending from the marriage in 1823 of David Turnbull, shipwright, to Isabella Stewart, daughter of William Stewart, weaver, of Dundee, Angus (or Forfarshire).
They had children born in Dundee: William 1824, David 1826, John Sturrock 1828, Janet Stewart 1829, Helen Pullar (known later an Ellen) 1834ish, George (later George Stewart) 1838, and Isabella (later Isabelle Stuart) 1848 in Edinburgh.
I lost track totally of William, John & Janet. William may have died young, as David always insisted he was the eldest.
There was a family rumour John was a ship's captain, who in a fit of rage, threw a man overboard, and fearing the authorities, fled, to West Indies or USA, leaving a wife and family behind... this could have been circa 1855.
David (the son) changed his surname to Stewart in the mid 1850s, George and Isabella added it as their second names, Ellen kept Stewart as a name in some of her children's families.
David the father, the shipwright, was born circa 1804, in Dundee we think, and died June 1864 in Durham. Isabella the mother was born 1801, and died November 1860 in Newcastle.
