STEVEN Stewart - Merchant Seaman
Stewart Steven b 1835 Arbroath, Angus, Scotland, married to Jane Grant in 1857.Was employed briefly as a labourer with the railway but subsequently spent most of his life as a sailor with the merchant ships.
I have been unable to locate a death record for Stewart, either in the shipping records at ScotlandsPeople, or on censuses after 1881.His wife's death record dated 1894 indicates she was "married to Stewart Steven, merchant seaman". I'm of the opinion this means Stewart was still living at this time.Am I wrong in this assumption?
I also have copies of letters written by Stewart to his brother, with the last one being dated 1882, so Stewart's death must have occured some time after this date.
Any suggestions as to where else to look would be very much appreciated.
