This entry was supplied to me by another researcher. Isabella McKINVEN, Flora CURRIE & Jane McKINVEN are 3 STEWART sisters there is another, Elizabeth who married, Donald, another son of Neil Snr listed above. I would imagine that Flora & Jane were visiting to celebrate the birth of Flora.
Jane is "your" Jane STEWART.
