Cottingham, Cemetery Records .. Stephenson

[CherLai]

Hi Ken S,

I believe I am also descended from the Stephenson's of Cottingham - Benjamin & Hannah are my great, great grandparents (through John) and my father had the "Zealand" reference in his name.

I would love to be able to get a copy of the brochure you mentioned - I am unable to find much reference to anything here in Australia. I know my grandmother had a "book" when I was a child but she died and no one can seem to tell me where that went - which is a real shame.

Thanks Cheryl.

Hi Ken S

Many thanks once again.

 My Mary Stephenson (born 1819 at Cottingham) died at Strathroy Ontario Canada in 1897. Here in Ontario 1880's to 1930's or so, if a person had lived in the same area for quite a while ... quite often there was a fairly long death report, put in local papers for them. In the UK ... I think a person had to be very important to get such a long obit. Possibly you have found Australia to also give long obits in the early days?

Hi,

Can anyone help please with Garton name at Cottingham?

In particular, John Garton his wife Mary.  It is likely that he was born 'abt' 1790's.

He is listed as a farmer. A son George, was born at Cottingham in 1828 (or 1829).

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

I stumbled across this post while trying to trace roots for my Great-Great Grandfather John Archbutt Stephenson and his wife Mary Wilson Jackson.  I do have a fair bit of info on Mary's maternal side but not much other than stories on John.  Can you help me out?  I also saw that "Bunny" lists herself as a relation.  I'd love to hear from you as well!
John Archbutt Stephenson - Edward John Stephenson - Albert William Stephenson - my father and then me.  I'm in Ontario as well.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
