Hi daveb,
I had a look at those links, but don't think the Stevensons of Stamford are related to my John Stevenson, Currier, of Lutterworth. Thanks anyway.
As a matter of interest, my mother was convinced that Frances Elizabeth Stevenson came from a good family, and had been painted. Seems odd for the daughter of a Currier. On the other hand, it's quite likely that the daughter of a currier would marry a tanner.
I see you are chasing variations of the Rouse name - do you have any idea as to the origins of the name?
Regards
Linda
......and thanks to Trish for her replies too
