To find legitimate descendants, you must first look for a marriage...........freebmd has English/Welsh records

What was her father's name?

Hello Reggie, thank you for your help Re; Catherine Stevenson, my Great Grandmother Maryanne Stevenson had Catherine by another man whilst my Great Grandfather William was in India, Great Grandfather obviously took on Catherine as his own hence her Surname Stevenson.
