Am looking for parents of Edwin STEVENS born 1862/3 at Bledlow Ridge.
Can find him on the 1881 census after his marriage to Clara Ann HATT living at Piggotts Common, Hughenden but cannot find him on the 1871 census.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

With the help of FreeBMD and GRO, there are two possibles:
Wycombe Registration District, which covers Bledlow -
March q 1863 - Edwin Stevens - mmn = Lucey
September q 1863 - Edwin William Stevens - mmn = Cartwright
-
Do you have a copy of his marriage cert which will give his fathers name & occupation
-
Have you checked this family?
There is a birth 1861 - Edwin Stevens with no mother’s maiden name
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp
*there are other births around the same time though
Marriage 1862 September quarter, Wycombe
James Eyres and Ann or Amelia Stevens, (two female Stevens on the page)
1871 1408/94/24
The ‘Hares’ family
Edwin, 9 yrs b Bledlow
Parents James and Ann
Child Ada has mmn Stevens (born Ayres)
-
Marriage transcript does not mention a father for Edwin, Clara's father is Benjamin Hatt and the witnesses were William and Mary Ann Hatt
-
Marriage 1862 September quarter, Wycombe
James Eyres and Ann or Amelia Stevens, (two female Stevens on the page)
The fourth name is Boaz Tapping. Only one person in the 1871 Census with that name - his wife's name was Amelia.
So it does look like James Eyres married Ann Stevens.
-
Thanks.
Yes, 1871 census indicates it too for James and Ann.
-
Many thanks for all your suggestions. Certainly has given me new leads to follow :)
-
You were spot on with the HARES family - should have read AYRES.
Edwin was born to Ann STEVENS in late 1861 and she then married James AYRES late the next year.
They went on to have 9 more children and both lived to a ripe age.
Many thanks for your suggestion - I would never have looked so laterally. :)
-
Glad it all worked out.

Taken from BucksFHS. Baptism transcripts.
Baptism - 28 Jul 1861. Bledlow. Edwin, born 10 May 1861 son of Anne STEVENS of Bledlow Ridge.
All Bledlow Ridge baptisms, marriages, and burials were at Bledlow Church, Holy Trinity, until 1868, when Bledlow Ridge gained their own Church of St Paul.
Steve. :)
