Ann Stephens (Actress)

[Matt7924]

I checked the Wikipedia article on Ann Stephens to see when her death date was added and whether the person who added it gave a source for their information.

It happened very early on - the article was created on the 16th December, 2006, and the date of death was added three revisions later on the 14th June, 2007, by a user, since banned, called Ruantengyi:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ann_Stephens&diff=138101446&oldid=99011566

No reason for this date was given. Various people have attempted to remove the unsourced date of death since then, but someone else has always added it back again. The current article uses IMDB as a reliable source and I can't help but think that IMDB probably got their information from the Wikipedia article!

This is very interesting and it's a bit shocking to think that one Wikipedia member's edit that's not even based on any facts has become misinformation. I wonder if Ann's sister was aware of the alleged date of death being all over the Internet?

There's two marriages for Ann G Stephens..One in Essex 1950  to Royce McGrath  and one in Kent to Lesie F Harding.1960.

Perhaps the Ann G. Stephens who married Leslie F. Harding could be Ann and she emigrated to the US?

As far as I can tell the Ann G Stephens who married  Leslie F Harding stayed in the UK. I think they owned an egg farm near Gillingham and are quite possibly still alive (nothing on GRO index of deaths for either of them).

There are a number of shipping manifest entries for her.

She left England from Liverpool on the 'Parthia' on 11 April 1959 heading for New York. Her intention was to remain in the US. She was single, b. 21 May 1931 and gave her UK address as 8 Chepstow Mansions, Bayswater, London. Her occupation is given as Air Hostess. She potentially shows on a crew list for PanAm Airlines in the mid 1950s. One crew list in 1958 shows her as Ann G Stephens, with British nationality.

That 1958 record is her travelling from Leghorn Italy to New York 1st Class on the SS President Monroe.  Passport 804897 departed 29th May 1958 arrived 9 Jun 1958.  Address 633 15th St, N. W. Wash, DC.

It's the same passport number on the Parthia dep. Liverpool 11 Apr 1959 arr New York 20 Apr 1959 (Again first class).  The Address though difficult to read appears to be App.2633 15th St, N.W. Washington 9.D.C.

2633 looks more likely residential on google streetview.

The only way to really check that is to obtain the marriage certificate, unless there is some other way to check the marriage without paying.

Having looked a bit more, I really don't think this is the correct Ann G Stephens. It seems to me that the one who married Leslie Frederick Harding was born in 1938 and died in 2015.

Chatham

I think this person is living and his name shouldn’t be posted.

[Gallicrow]

I'm confused - the only person who posted his name was you - twice!
