Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: Stevenson family of costock area
« on: Sunday 10 May 15 12:46 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Diddy for the PM and thanks to all.  Not much promise in the baptisms.  Sorry about that.

FYI this comes from:

1861:Nottingham
William Stevenson  58                b.1803 Costock
Elizabeth Stevenson  55             b.1806 Nottingham

From the census I presume.

Thank you,

Andrew

Thanks everyone for your help.  Sorry I was travelling the last couple of days.

So the information that I have, which Diddy has largely validated has this William Stevenson being the son of Thomas Stevenson and Ann Taylor.  This piece of information is unvalidated and may not prove correct.  There are no details on births, marriages, deaths and no locations specified.

Thanks again for your support

Hello Everyone,

Diddy has been helping me in the Leic's thread.  But we have confirmed my relatives back as far as the Costock area we believe.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=541946

The last few pages.

I am looking for a William Stevenson who I believe is from Costock circa 1803 and  is the William Stevenson who was married here:

Marriage:
Name  William Stevenson
Marriage date 12 Oct 1827
Marriage place Nottingham
Church St Mary
Denomination Anglican
Spouse's Elizabeth Roberts
County Nottinghamshire
Record set Nottinghamshire marriages, 1528-1929

Diddy

If anyone could help that would be great.

Thank you in advance,

Andrew

Hello Diddy,

Re; Turner, no, no mention of the name in the family. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

There seems to be a service in East Leake etc looking up parish records is that worthwhile?


Thanks again

Andrew

Diddy,

Thank you very much.  Your data is spot on.  I have downloaded copies of the census pages back to 1841 and confirmed the link between George Arthur Stevenson and Annie Rackham (ne Stevenson).  Thus I have all the addresses and occupations.  Just amazing.

So now I wonder how should I go back further in the tree from Willliam 1803 Costock? 

Secondly, are there any other sources of data/information that would provide a richer insight into the lives of those we have already found?

I have found uploaded copies of parish records and that I guess is where you would need to look.

Thank you again for your help and guidance.

Andrew

Hello Diddy,

Well, that is amazing.  Truly.

Firstly that William Henry put his birth place as South Hackney when it was in fact Loughborough on the 1911 Census.  I kind of get that if he was living there when he was 10.

One thing that is odd though is if you read all the Rackham threads/information Annie Stevenson is Anne Stevenson.  Small point I know.

Secondly, this family, what were they thinking?  They had very limited imagination in naming their children differently from themselves!!! 

Diddy thanks again.  Is it possible to get information on where (address) they lived.  Probably I would like to see that - in the physical sense.  I guess you understand.

Thanks so much,

Andrew

PS: my older relatives are suddenly interested in this too.

Hello Diddy,

Thanks again. 

So William Henry is definitely related.  He was born in 1871 so might not be in the 1871 census.  I have a shot of the 1911 census where he lists his birthplace as South Hackney. 

I am afraid all the other names were supplied by a relative who cannot be contacted, hence they are unconfirmed. I think that you are right, the first step is to establish the parents of William Henry, this is a good idea.  I am his great, grandson.

Do you have any census going back George = Elizabeth / william = Elizabeth

So thanks again for all your effort on my behalf Diddy, just amazing that you would help me so, a complete stranger.

I don't have much information I am afraid.  The baptism certificate; is that something I should/could request from somewhere?  I would absolutely love to know where they lived, more than probably any information.  I travel to London with work often and that would give me a chance to come to where they lived, perhaps do some research on my own.

Also I am not quite sure I understand what you mean quoted above?
