(just adding above, found an older posting for Jayne, above 1899 Birth looks to be her Grandfather, have traced back, but need confirmation from Jayne, as to whether this is correct, so far)...

Hi,
Perhaps I can add some clarity to Jaynes request (as it was me who caused her confussion)...

Jaynes great, great grandfather William Stevens married Pheope Ann Neve on December 26 1852 in the parish of Terrington St John (she has the marriage certificate) residence at the time of marriage is given for both as St Johns.

The grooms father is named as William Stevens (labourer) ... it is this William she is trying to trace.

Thanks

Hi Chris Ho :)

James Stevens who married Elizabeth Whitmore in Q1 1874 ...
How do I get in contact to share my tree as I'm descended from his brother Richard William Stevens (born 1845) ...

Which unfortunately isn't the family Jayne is looking for, unless they are connected in a previous generation.

Jayne, have you considered the William you are looking for could be a younger brother or nephew of the Robert we already know about?

Hi Chris Ho;)
Thanks for your help - I did find William Stevens 1810 and his wife Sarah Unknown, as well as the other family members on the census, thank you!
I now have to find his father!

Hi Jan Smith, thanks for looking for me, I will send for a certificate to confirm, but I as there are so many Stevenses in Downham, it might be a big search!

Thanks to all of you folks for all of your help - I really do appreciate it!

Many thanks

Jayne :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Hi Chris,
Jayne and I thought we were related through William Stevens born 1841 (older brother of James and Richard)... but closer examination of the marriage certificate indicated this wasn't the same William who married Pheobe in 1852.

The James in the marriage you mention is (I think) my great (x2) great uncle.

Aah!...well would be good for you both if there was a link, a whole lot of William Stevens it seems...
