To continue; In the census 1861 Stephen is a widower living at Cheshire View, Pendleton, Lancs.
He is the minister in Pendleton from 1858 -67. On 5th Feb 1862 he marries Ruth Blagburn in Salford district. Between then and when he departs for York Street, Dublin there are 4 children born. William Mackenzie JFM 1863; Arthur Henry JFM 1864; Ernest Addington JAS 1865; Edith Isabel AMJ 1867.
He is 'posted' to Dublin where tragically Ruth dies (see Irish BMD)in 1868. Perhaps he requests a move 'home' because in 1869 he is back on the mainland as minister at Queen Street, Dover. He is living with the 4 children in Folkestone Road, Hougham. (1871 census) Later in 1871 (OND) he marries Harriet Ann Walker. The children have a 'mother' again.
In 1874 he is on the move again to Bungay in Suffolk. A son Theodore Spencer is born JFM 1878 while they are living in Upper Olland Street right next door to the chapel. This is where my interest in him begins as his housekeeper is a relative of my wife.
