12 Aug 1842 Amelia Stewart, daughter of Robert and Elizabeth Stewart, was born at New Mill, Scone, Perth (Birth year from her mother's census reports, 1844 on Utah Death Record, #9905, p248, FHL026553; and emigration age 24, Jul 1869: European Emigration card Index, FHL298438 and Passenger Lists FHL025692).

Betty S. Stewart is the most reliable source for the ages of her children. She said Elizabeth was 11 in 1851, 21 in 1861. She gave Amelia's census ages as 8 and 18 on those same years (Amelia would be 9 and 19 on her August birthdays). Elizabeth was born in 1840, Amelia in 1842. Jean's age was correct on census records.
