Hi Ken,

I did thank you very much.  After going through it though, I am a bit confused about John from Carnabys relationship with the 'first' ancestors in the book - starting at Ralph.  I am interested in finding out who were Johns parents, but as yet I can't find this and there is no one who could have been his direct line coming from Ralph.   So still searching.....

kind regards,
Vicki

Hi Ken,

I am descended from Benjamin Stephenson and hannah stephenson through their son john and his son Wilfred.  Wilfred is my great grandfather.  I am wondering if you would know where I may be able to obtain a copy of the brochure you have referred to in these posts as I am in Australia and cannot find anything listed including over the internet.  It may help with some of the questions on the earlier ancestors.

kind regards,
Vicki

Well ... to give you a short version of MY family history ......... my ggg was a William Stephenson born 1814 at Doncaster S Yorks ... but he married a Mary Scott at Cottingham in 1838 ... going on to have at least 6 children baptised at Cottingham ... and lived in the area. This family came to Canada in 1854 ... but if my William was any relation to Cottingham area Stephensons ... I still do not know this.
 Back some 25 years ago, I teamed up with another relation here in Ontario, and we became the family genealogists ... gathering up death reports for ancestors ... searching census records ... sitting in front of mico-film reading machines ... and all that family tree searching stuff :).
 Jean (the lady who was helping me) lives close to Toronto, here in Ont., and she used the Mormon Library research room ... plus Toronto Archives, along with talking to older relations here in Ont ... and some where in this search, she came across the Cottingham, Stephenson family history that was done in 1916 - 17, and she sent me a photo copy of it. But I can not remember where she got it now.
 As I say, what I have is a photo copy of the booklet (Stephenson Brochure) ... and I am going to guess that it must have been in a Toronto Library, here in Ontario. It is quite a few pages long, and looks to be fairly professsionally done, with black and white photographs printed in it and all.
 I will have to phone Jean and ask her where she got it ... she is in her early 80's now ... and having some health problems.
 PS ... go to the top of this page ... and it will read Welcome back Bunny1129 you have 1 message (click on here) the private message is from me

hi Jan,

I am the GGGranddaughter of John Stephenson and GGGGranddaughter of Benjamin Stephenson.  My link is then through Johns son Wilfred and his son Victor who was my grandfather.  Were you able to get a hold of the book Stephensons 1917-1918?  I am also in Queensland and no luck trying to hunt one down.

kind regards,
Vicki
