May have just found William s death in the West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser 11/12/1873
"At Mount Edgecumbe Farm Maker Mr William Stephens age 73 years"
Looks a very good fit

It does - although I can't find a corresponding death registration - the only death registration I could find in St Germans for a William Stephens was for last quarter 1871, which has him aged 65 and born circa 1806  ???

It transpires that there were two William Stephens, both farmers, around the same age, living in Maker at the time of the 1871 census - both of whom's wives were called Mary  ??? how freaky is that?

Anyway, I think that the death I discovered above was for the second William Stephens, born abt. 1806 Stoke Damerel, Devon (just over the water in Plymouth). His wife was Mary Ann, born abt. 1807, Quethiok, Cornwall - she appears in Maker as a widow in 1881.

Still doesn't explain why 'our' William Stephens' death can't be found in 1873. Registered in another district perhaps?

Think Mary ann and William are not mine as there not at Mount Edgecumbe Farm on the 1871 census there at what looks like Radford Farm House
Cant find Williams death in registers either went back and checked the paper date and it was correct 11/12/1873
