Looking at the other thread, the poster has Rebecca born in Barming as the mother of Ellen Harris.................

I suggest that some re-thinking is called for.....................

Ricochet Report 20 Feb 2009 11:11

Until you get the marriage cert for Stephen and Ellen you can't hope to find out any accurate info.

You seem to be jumping to conclusions without double-checking

Gillian................
Stevens and dell are the same person.................

Ok Dell,

Rolling back a little bit, how did you get to Stephen Stevens?

Where is the line to this person, you must have followed them down the census line to get where you are?

Please can you post something more concrete we can look at and then we can maybe help you a little more effiecently.

This i think and maybe's are just not enough to prove anything.

When was Rebecca's marriage?

If Stephen was illegitimate, he probably didn't have any siblings.................

Do you have 1881 census details for Stephen?

Steven

Steven Report 20 Feb 2009 10:48

No i dont think he new his father i think he took his mothers name stevens ? she married a man called Harris after steven was born.

Ricochet

Ricochet Report 20 Feb 2009 10:42
