My William Stewart was born in Northern Ireland in May 1841. My William Stewart immigrated to New York City on May 22, 1873 at age of 30. My Wiiliam Stewart  immigrated from Moville, Ireland  and he landed in New York City.

My William Stewart was married to my Emily Lilliss. Emily Lilliss was born in Montreal, Canada in February 1847.

Hello, I am not sure if my ancestors are related to yours (Stewart may well be the Smith of Northern Ireland) but I have a Thomas John Stewart of Co Down who married Sarah Johnston in Belfast in 1870.

Do you have any related ancestors of this name?
