	from that marriage record it does look like Mary was born 1868/69. I wonder if she lied about her father and she was actually illegitimate. Will look at marriage of Adam & Mary Cowell in 1868 (St John's Preston) to see what his occupation was next time I go to LRO. There was no baptism of a Mary Stevenson c1868 at St John's but did not look for a Mary Cowell to see if she was born before the marriage. Did find this eath though on freebmd which might fit Deaths Mar 1876 (>99%) Stephenson Adam 32 Preston 8e 450
