According to his marriage registration his Father was Hopkin Stevens born 1831 Westminster. He was a tailor. He married Lavinia lamb. The census information is on the previous page.

Thank you for that.

Assuming that Henry E Stevens IS my friends Grandfather can you find out who is the father of Henry E. please

OK. There is an Elsie A in the 1901 posted above born 1898 daughter of Henry and Emily. Here it is again. So Henry could be your friends Grandfather! But you will need either her birth certificate or marriage certificate to confirm.

STEVENS Elsie Alice Islington 1b 180

Thanks for being so patient.

My friend's name is Kenneth Frederick Fisher born on October 4th 1929 in Holloway, London


V.V.V.

No that's who Henry married. i need to know who Frederick married and when. They will be your friend's parents.
Or tell me your friend's name and when and where they were born so that I can trace it back.

Can we start again please.

My friends parent was Elsie Alice Stevens born in 1898 in Islington.Forget Frederick.


V.V.V.

Not absolutely sure but its either Florence Louise Collins or Emily Loiuse Moore (Free BMD). I think its Emily Louise.


V.V.V.

Thank you. Do you know who Frederick married and when?

Astra,

Frederick Stevens born in 1896 in Islington.


V.V.V.

Right thanks. So which of his children was your friends parent?

Astra,

Sorry i'm getting a bit confused. Henry Edward Lamb Stevens would have been my friends GRANDFATHER not GREAT GRANDFATHER.. My mistake.

V.V.V.

Right so if he could be his great grandfather then one of his children must be your friends grand parent. Do you have the names of his grand parents at all. Otherwise we are just fishing around in the dark.

Astra,

Yes, he could be his great grandfather !.

V.V.V.

This is a possibility for 1901. She married as Emily Louisa and the ages are right. The only problem is that when he married his occupation was given as Milkman and on this one he is a Private Soldier.

So is this Henry Stevens related to your friend in any way?

Astra,

His name came from a sheet of paper that my friend had had for some considerable time. He dug it out when he learned that I was researching my tree.


V.V.V>

OK thanks.
So where did his name come from. I know you are doing this for a friend but his name must have come from somewhere.

He didn't die until 1939 but I can't locate him in 1911.
