Kia ora
Greetings from New Zealand!
I am hoping someone may be able to help me!
I have been tracking the family of WILLIAM STEPHENS & Sarah Ann WARD who married in 1874 in Alcester Warks.
They had 2 sons viz George Ernest 1876 & Arthur Harry 1879 in Birmingham.
The eldest son George Ernest in turn had a son Arthur William Stephens in 1901 who married Phyllis Lemon in 1934 in Birmingham. I have gathered certificates up to this point to verify my research
From Free BMD it appears that Arthur & Phyllis STEPHENS had 4 children between 1934 and 1947 in Neath. 2 sons and 2 daughters. It appears that all may have married in Neath.
I would desperately love to contact someone from the family to exchange information but need advice as to how to obtain Addresses etc. I have no idea whereabouts in the District thay may have lived.
I would very much appreciate a PM if anyone could offer advice as to Libraries or other sources I could contact!
Perhaps neighbours or old school friends might recognise the info above? I am reluctant to publish names of possibly living persons but content to put information in a PM if required.
Thanks in anticipation!
