Hi Brian,

Seasons greetings to you and all the rest of the JAS followers. Good to hear from you as has been a long time since anyone posted on the JAS Topic. Personally I have not advanced my research on the subject since my last posts and I guess this is the same for the rest of the group. However I am still very much interested in this site.

Best wishes to All.

Ian

Recently I received a photo album from the Stephenson family. There are no names attached to the photos. However they all appear to have been taken in England in the Newcastle area. I have scanned and attached one. Can anyone put a name to it?

What an interesting picture...could be someone we're looking for! I think, as Ian said, we are all very much interested in the Stephenson story still but need another link! Happy New Year to all, and let's keep on it!

Another photo from the album. It is about one inch square and stuck to a piece of paper with the words John A Stephenson printed on it. The printing is incomplete as the backing paper has been cut from a larger sheet. Any suggestions who it is?

The album I have received is accompanied by the attached notice of music lessons by Grace Stephenson. Can anyone advise where she fits in to the family?

Thanks Maggie. It was the use of the name Grace that had me stumped. regards

Hi Bryan,

For some reason didn't get a email from Rootschat to say new post made to forum. Agree with Maggie re reference to Grace.
I have had details of 1901 Census for JAS (Gateshead St John's) for sometime and had been interested in the fact that his daughter Annie Grace Emily Stephenson age 23 had her occupation listed as Professor of Music and employed on her own account. Your info ties in with that nicely.
She Married Hugh Hunter Bowden at Gateshead between Jul-Sept 1907. He died 4-12-1921 & she 31-12-1957.

regards
Ian

Hi Ian. My great grand father, Alfred Stephenson, had to go to sea for a year to get his ticket to be a marine engineer. He sailed aboard the SS Ivydene from NZ to England and back. From his continuous discharge book, he spent a few months in 1907 in and around England. I presume he must have visited his relatives there including Grace. That seems to be the only reason her advert ended up in the family's hands. His daughter (my grandmother) never mentioned relatives in England and only vaguely the relatives in the North Island of NZ. Any other thoughts?
cheers, Bryan
