I Have found Peter Stephan in various Census going forward from 1841 giving his birth date as 1796 -1801, but I haven't found a birth record for him on FMPast. Please can someone perhaps check another site.
My other query is how would I find out who his father was as there is no mention on the 1841 census.
Many thanks

Doh! How embarrassing! Yes of course you are right - and his father's name of course was also Peter!!
So taking a guess looking at FindMyPast His father married Hannah Johnson on 18 Dec 1801 and he died 2Q 1845 Madeley.
Thanks for your help, any thoughts as to how I might get further info please?

I’m not sure if I have the right family but there is a Peter Stephan age 65 living in Broseley, Madeley in 1861 with his wife Susanna and children but he was born in Stoke, Staffordshire?

Many thanks.
Yes that's the family and I have most of the Census info but the same old problem of going back pre 1841 .... for his parents etc.
He was apparently a skilled artist at the potteries.

There is a tree on family search which suggests his father Peter was born in Germany, married there first, then a second marriage to Hannah in Stoke on Trent.
The 1871 census states Peter junior was born Stoke Up Wentbridge, Staffordshire, but I can find no reference to that place.

No childrens baptisms, until 1859 when John a Potter & Sarah hed children, maybe a brother of Peter.
