Enid Lucy Pease Robinson

Hi Lynn,

I've checked the correct date but there was no mention of the marriage in Darlington's local papers. Perhaps the Scarborough papers might have something.

Regards,
Colin

Hi Colin

Sad news for me, but I really appreciate your time spent on this, I can't thank you enough.

I'll try Scarborough as you suggest.

Many thanks again.

Regards

There is an article about her on

Thank you Creamegg, I was aware of the first article as I was researching for the guy that bought the diary, but wasn't aware that the Echo had published another article, so thank you so much for that, I appreciate you taking the time to let me know.

Hi.  I have just seen your request for a photo of Enid Steavenson and I have one with her daughter Ione.  It may be from the Northern Echo or the Darlington and Stockton Times.  I found it in my uncle's belongings when he died as my Great Uncle used to milk the goats for them and I used to go and help.  Also, my Great Aunt used to make Mrs Steavenson's breakfasts and I would serve it to her in her bedroom.  She also combed her hair for her and did domestic type jobs.  Hope this is of some help.  I also have letters she wrote to my great uncle and she also wrote to me when I was a child.  Don't know if my letters at still at my father's house - it would be around 45 years plus ago.  Hope this is of some help.  Lesley

Hi Lesley

thank you for your response, it was a surprise as it's been some time since I posted this.

I've been researching Enid for a friend, who bought one of her diaries at an auction. He's from the Staithes area, and the diary covered life on holiday in Staithes with her mother. Part one is now in print (with the blessing of her other daughter ) but I'm sure he'd be excited to hear that you've been in touch.

may I contact him and inform him of your response, as I'm sure he'd like to contact you?

regards

Lynn

Hi Lynn it has taken me ages to find your reply as I really don't know how to use this root chat thread!  I have now found two letters that she wrote to my Great Uncle and she is reminiscing about her time in Italy and how Queen Victoria and young Princess Victoria used to visit the gardens to paint etc.  The letters are fascinating.  How on earth do I get in touch with you without giving me email address in this note?  Regards Lesley.  PS her husband, old doctor steavenson delivered me at home and I weighed in over 11lbs!  (female).

Hi Lynn

I expect you are aware of the Pease/Davidson Family Tree on Ancestry.  It has a lot of presumably very authentic information.

However it does not mention Charles Stanley Steavenson's previous marriage to Lena Nicholson, in Q3 1908, at Sunderland.

Lena died in Q2 1911 and CSS then married Enid Lucy Pease Robinson, in Q4 1911.

The Sanders Family Tree, on the other hand, currently has CSS's first marriage recorded incorrectly (to Elizabeth Ann Trotter) and does not mention the second (to Enid Lucy Pease Robinson).

But it has a great deal about the Steavenson family, which you may find interesting.

I have just posted messages to both tree owners, to point this out.
