STEVENS - Salisbury, England

[krisesjoint]

I have found some information on the James from the Pyramus in the Tas Archives. It provides a physical description of the man which may tell you if this is your man. It also lists him as a confectioner of Birmingham. Very handy

I have found that the record James is listed at image 260

Unfortunately there is no online description for the James arriving on the Canton

I also note a James Stevens died on the 8 Mar 1868 aged 53 years, ref 7232.

Thanks for this - I am away from home but just had a quick look at this info - very useful - just need to link him to Norfolk Island to get greater surety - will pick this is up in due course - thanks again.

It does appear there were more than 1 James STEVENS/STEPHENS marrying in Tas who were born around the same time. We have the two so far, though no age for one, and I see three marriages with men about the same sort of age, and just the one death provided above, listed under STEVENS. I did note one of the records I found for the Warwickshire convict listed him as Stephens. With the marriages I we have your man listed under Stevens and 2 others under Stephens.

James STEPHENS aged 26 = Sarah Mary TAYLOR aged 24 on 29 May 1843 ref 433 (I see no births)
James STEVENS age 32 = Mary CALLAWAY on 23 May 1850 ref 559 (I see 8 Births all STEVENS)
James STEPHENS age 37 = Bridget DREW 37 on 2 May 1853 ref 1229 (I see no births)

Just thought these other refs worth mentioning along with that death, since all involve men of about the same age.

Good Luck

Constable James Stevens marries Mary Callaway Hobart, 23 May 1850. He dies in Victoria, 23 July 1883 and is buried in the Melbourne General Cemetry, with wife Mary and eldest child Mary Jane.
His death certificate names him as Constable James Stevens dying in Hotham, Victoria where he had lived for 4 years (after coming from Tasmania).
