Thanks Ian for the tips.  I will look at all the pages.
  No relation to GS unfortunately.
  Clement Stephenson was a butcher in Gateshead High Street.  My grandfather was named after him as Clement Stephenson Long and my father had Stephenson for a middle name. 
If I see anything which seems familiar I will post it here.
Incidentally I do live in the Tyne & Wear area although it used to be Co Durham.
Regards

Hi Ian

I think I am mistaken with my information.
I have always believed, according to my parents who are long since dead, that JAS was a relative but I don't think in the context that he was the brother of my gt grandmother Elizabeth.  I have checked the family tree on Ancestry and she was second youngest of 8 of Clement and Margaret Stephenson's children.  No John mentioned.
The inscription handwritten on the back of the watercolour reads "To Mr C S Long (my grandfather) with the artist's best wishes, 1.9.1896.  This was obviously a wedding present which makes me think there is a family connection somewhere but alas I can't find it.

Best wishes

My great grandmother Elizabeth was the sister of JAS.  I have a painting of his which was given to my grandparents as a wedding present in 1896 (it was actually painted in 1895 and is of Cotherstone Mill, Teesdale.  Thought you might be interested!
