      Sadly, Stewart's grandmother Mary died at sea and enquiries have failed to find out where, although her probate is listed in Sydney. She was in good health when she boarded in Liverpool.
      This branch of the family descends from Rober Neal, who dropped the "E" from his surname, (originally "Neale") b 1840 in Cavan Co, Ireland.

      The family moved to 10 Campbell Street Alexandria. When Stewart was 12 years old, his father Robert aged 50 died on 22 Aug 1890, cause of death phthisis, Exhaustion.
      On the 1st January 1896, Stewart's younger brother Robert aged 12 died of injuries received by being jammed against the rails of a bridge by the wheel of a trolley. Both his father and brother are buried at St Peters Cemetery.
      The Bottcher family moved in next door at 8 Campbell Street sometime before July 1892 when Frederick was born.

      Stewart worked in the brick pits and later delivered bricks to the new Terrace houses.
      Stewart also worked as a Teamster (his father, Robert was a horse trainer/Teamster). Stewart was a good hard working man. He was awarded a bell for leading the best team of draught horses, it is still within the family.
      On 20 July 1927 Stewart's Mother Eliza died of heart failure aged 83.
