What fabulous photos!  Thank you so much for sharing.  I do have a couple of questions though....

1. Where does Fanny Stephenson fit in?
2. Where does Katie Dickenson fit in?

Thanks again

Hi All
I have just done a bit of further research on the Leonard Stephenson citation in the 1881 census.
It says he resided at 37 Clumber Street and Crystal Palace is noted. Crystal Palace was a hotel, which makes sense as there is also a barmaid residing at the same address. Sadly it appears to have closed in 1979.

Hi
I am also researching Robert Cant as mentioned by Paul. 
My grandmother was grand daughter of Danzie Cant who came to New Zealand in 1865. I have traced back to Robert Cant who married Sarah Ann Mitchell Johnson at Wickham St Pauls.  I am just having trouble finding any information about Robert's birth and his parents etc.
Any help appreciated

Hi All. Happy New Year! It looks like some great info has been discovered since I last logged on. How wonderful! I will sit down later and read more thoroughly.
To Vicki.....hello! I believe you are my Mum, Mignon Arnst (nee Woodhouse) cousin. I believe you are Vic and Beryl's daughter?
As you know, my parents now live in South Australia and mum has the original transcript if the Atlantic sea journey. Mum provided Maggie with a copy and Maggie laboriously transcribed it. I have a photocopy if it and would be happy to post you a copy, with Maggies permission of course?
Regards
Cathy

Hi All
Thank you for welcoming into your forum.  This has certainly been an interesting journey of discovery for me and my research will form a surprise elaborate album / scrapbook for my Mum, Mignon Leyton (interesting she has a different spelling) Arnst (nee Woodhouse) for her birthday.  I thank you all for your contributions thus far as it has filled a lot of gaps for me.
With regards to the last post by Bellam1, I can confirm that we are on the right track regarding John Stephenson.  "Our" John travelled to India and his original journal is held by my mother. He and the family appear on passenger lists and John Atlantic was certainly born on the voyage to India, hence his name.
I look forward to hearing more bits of info, and if you anyone happens to have any new photographs which have not yet been posted / shared.....I would love a copy to put in the scrapbook I am working on.
Thanks again
Cathy

Hi All
I am just updating the wonderful document that Maggie put together for our family. I guess you could say that Maggie is my second cousin, our mothers being cousins.  We live a world apart, Maggie in UK, and myself in Australia, ex New Zealand.  So of course, I appear way down the Catherine Mary Layton line.  My aim is to work on what Maggie put together as a birthday present for my mother, Mignon. Incidentally, Mignon is the holder of the original Journal to India which Maggie transcribed.
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone had found anything further on Leonard Quintus/Quinties/Quinton.  I seemed to have found some info on the one in the same born in 1838, so am hoping I might have found a bit of a trail?  Any info appreciated.
I was also interested to read that someone mentioned Ekatahuna (not far from my home town).  Well I am not aware of any connection there, but do know that a Stephenson ran the Steam Museum at Tokomaru, just out of Palmerston North.  My mum always wondered if there was some distance connection there?
Regards Cathy
