Around 1845 William, Marjory and family (daughter Jane, and sons Peter and James) left The Braes of Glenlivet and settled at Lockers, in the Aultmore district of Banffshire, where they built a house on Lockers croft and cultivated, initially, approximately 15 acres of land.

Robert 1818-

James 1821-1859
13th March 1821 (baptism date) to April 9th 1859 (burial date). Buried in Keith cemetery.
William 1822-
No confirmed details, yet.
Jane 1827-1859
Migrated to Lockers and died there of consumption on 7th April 1859 (the death record incorrectly names her mother as Stewart rather than Stuart but it mentions Lockers as place of death), but there is no record of her burial in Keith Cemetery in the lair named as belonging to William Snr.
Alf McKay contends that Jane actually returned to Glenlivet and died much later than 1859 according to Moray records, but the author has, so far, been unable to authenticate that.
