Wow..............When I posted this topic I thought I would get some help , but you have all stunned me with the help I've received.
Thank you Neil for the help regarding Nicholas , the Craven site is fantastic and I will now spend many hours reading everything on there....Nothing else at home will be done now.....
Many thanks to Keyboard86. I see now I had the wrong Maud . I found a marriage on Freebmd which might be Mary Ann.
Dec 1912 Leeds.
Mary Stephens to Fred Walsh.
I have no other prove if its her.
I think the death of Richard Stephens in Wharfedale is their father.
I have trouble with the different areas as I don't know them at all.
My grandad was Richard Josiah Stephens. His mother Grace died in Yorkshire in 1885 then his dad married Mary Jane Jarman in 1886. He remained with the family , 1891 they were in Bourne.
I 1895 he is living in Leeds and signs up as a militiaman for the west riding regiment.
His address at that time was 5,Harthy Hill, North Street, Leeds.
Then in 1901 he was in Llantrissent, Monmouthshire where he met my nan Mary Griffiths. They married in 1903.
There are some photos with my 92 year old aunt that say grandads relatives so he must of had some contact.
Thank you all for your help. Now need to find if Marion and Mary had children and if any relatives in this area. Any more help greatly appreciated.
