Interesting.  I have hand written notes from a great aunt who said that their Stevenson family was sometimes referred as Ste'enson, or simply Steenson. So your finding makes sense.
If you have done DNA, see if you can find any matches to any persons named McVicker, or Noble. Several of my family (McVicker) have done DNA.

Elizabeth and Samuel had eleven children. After David was born in 1912, all of the others were born in Scotland. Son Robert was killed in the Hassockrigg Colliery in 1922. The family emigrated to USA and Canada in the twenties.

Great investigating. I am going to quiz the family about the story that Grace died in childbirth. Perhaps someone has more information that can clear this up.

Wow. Very plausible theory for Grace. It all fits into place.  The only mystery now is about the family story that she had died during childbirth. That information was from Grace's daughter, and has been passed down the generations. One other confusion, is that on her marriage registration,  her father is listed as James, in the  marriage announcement in the Belfast News-Letter (Belfast, Antrim, Northern Ireland), 29 May 1877, it states that she is the second daughter of Mr.John Dunlop, late of Newtowncrommelin. I wonder if  that John was actually some other relative listed by mistake.

Great getting some answers for this mystery lady.  Thank you so much for all of your help.

Thank you very much lanarman and aghadowey for the reply, and information.  Family lore is that Robert Stevenson's wife Grace had died in childbirth,  but I have not been able to find any information to verify that. Family had always assumed that she had died when she had my great grandmother, Elizabeth, in 1877, but by those Letters Of Administration,  one assumes that she was still alive when he passed in 1880.  I have not found any death record for Grace (Dunlop) Stevenson, nor do the family have any idea where Elizabeth was during her childhood.  I will keep searching.  Thanks again

lanarman, I am curious if you have been able to connect Quintain and William Stevenson to the elder Robert? Quintain's son, Robert, was my g-g-grandfather. That Robert was a doctor, who died in Tullykittaugh,  and is reported to have been buried in the Clough Churchyard burying grounds in 1880.

Kildare / Re: William and Loveda Alcock Family, Naas (formerly called Rosetown)
« on: Thursday 29 October 20 06:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hi. I was wondering if anyone has any more information on Loveda Alcock's family?  I have been researching my husband's tree, and his gg-grandmother was an Alcock.  I believe that she was a sister of Loveda.  Ethelinda  b.21 AUG 1803 • Rosetown, Kildare, Ireland,  d.21 AUG 1887 • 10 Edwin St, Newton, Auckland, New Zealand.  She married Thomas Noble about 1827, in Kildare, and they had at least four children in Ireland. She emigrated to New Zealand around 1860.
I would love to be able to find some more connection between Ethelinda and Loveda.
Regards, Linda Noble

Antrim / Re: Does anyone here know of Wayne Dickey?

I have a cousin Wayne Dickey. I know that he was doing family research a few years ago, but not sure if he still is.  He is in New Zealand still, I believe.  This may be the person that you are looking for. Do you have any more information on him, or his research?  I will try to verify this.   Linda
