He married Mary Beggs on 31 Dec 1812 in Donegore Presbyterian Church.[3]
He passed away in 1865,[1] and is buried in Ballynure Old Graveyard.[2]
Research Notes
We have been able to track 7 children of William Stewart.
William appears as Father in a number of weddings, however it is from his son Andrew's will that we have proof that they are of the same family. Andrew leaves an inheritance to many of his nephews and nieces.[4]
The Date of Birth is estimated.
His daughters get married in 1st Ballyeaston Presbyterian Church.
It is reasonable that William would attend that church.
There is a William Stewart living with his widowed mother and a sister in 'Ballycur' (Ballycor) he aged 25. [5]
That would give 5 years for the marriage and to have first child Grace who is born in about 1818.
William Stewart of Ballycor buried in Ballynure Old Graveyard. The transcription gives the date of death as 23 Mar 1866, aged 77.[2] I believe this is due to the poor weathering of the gravestone.
Further research revealed that William and his wife Mary Beggs were recorded as being from Ballyeaston Congregation when they married in Donegore Presbyterian Church in 1812. It is also noted in the records that there was no minister in Ballyeaston at that time. [3]

Stuart-1195 and Stewart-55291 appear to represent the same person because: Hi Valerie.
I mistakenly had used Stewart rather than Stuart when first putting William on. so the system did not prompt with your William.
He is the husband of Mary Beggs (married 31 Dec 1812 Donegore Presbyterian).
I had been building back from Rosanna Stewart who married Thomas Jackson of Ballynure (a relative of mine).
