STEPHENS

Nicholas and Ann had to have made their way to Wales after 1863 when Bessy was born .... is there a death of a Sarah b c 1861 in Wales ?? The only death for a Sarah Stephens is  March 1865 St Germans, Cornwall.

we need to find Sarah's death ....

Sorry Deb - I modified my last post - she could have died anywhere on the way.

The Welsh BMDs are with the English ones. They could have gone by train (say via Bristol) or road or even canal

there's the death of a Sarah Stephens, Ruabon, (Wrexham RD and close to Bersham) in 1869 showing on the North Wales BMDs.

It's a possible,

That looks like the likely one Gadget ...

Bry ...will have to confirm all of this with the 1881 and 1891 census details ... there was supposedly another child b c 1873 in Scotland ... hopefully bry's details of this family, have a child , Sarah J, b in Wales ...

The Stephens that I've got in Lasswade, Scotland on the 1881 don't tie in with any of the details here except son William:

No deaths for Nicholas 1871-1881 in the North Wales BMDs

Can you find Nicholas and Ann ... below

Hi Deb,

Yes I have Nicholas & Ann in 1891. They are staying with their married daughter in Lasswade, Midlothian. I cannot locate the family in 1871, the earliest I have them in Scotland is the birth of daughter Susan in 1873.

Ann is at the same address in 1881 (without Nicholas) as in 1891

Cheers
Bry

They're living with Sarah Jane - their daughter, now married to a John Cochrane in 1891 - both aged 58

20 Ramsay Square, Lesswade 691 Ed 10 page 25

I'll have another look but I have to go soon.

Yes in 1881 they are living at 20 Ramsay Square  - 691 Ed 9 Page 21

Ann 47, Sarah, 11 and a John Williams, boarder .

i don't see Nicholas either Wales or Scotland at the moment.

Thanks Gadget

Nicholas is supposedly in the USA ...not sure where though

I think the only way to confirm all of the children (except William and Mary Ann , who were with their parents in 1861, cornwall) is for Bry to order birth certs of Bessy  (truro 1863) and Sarah J (1870 , Wales ).
