Shropshire Lookup Requests / Re: Broseley/Madeley Another marriage? Surname STEPHAN
« on: Friday 05 November 10 23:06 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I have been researching the Stephan family for several years trying to update the information passed to me by my mother's cousin. She had managed to trace the line back to the famous modeller Pierre Stephan. There are many fine pieces of his work in the British museum and crown derby still produce his Four Seasons.
I also live near Shrewsbury and would be happy to share my information should you be interested.
The Stephans travelled around the country and worked in most of the major china works before settling in Shropshire where most of the extended families still live today.
My lineage traces back to Charles Stephan whom I believe is one of the many sons of Pierre and John although I am not entirely sure which son belonged to which.
It is a labour of love tracing the tree and I have come to a dead end in trying to establish his country of birth, although it is most likely to be Germany.
Hope this helps a little. If you would like further information please get in touch.
Regards
