John Henry Stephenson
« on: Saturday 25 December 04 05:44 GMT (UK) »
Looking for any information on John Henry Stephenson.  He was my ggrandmothers elder brother and was born 1877 in Egton cum Newland.  He worked in Liverpool at one time but the last anyone heard from him was in a letter dated 1907 just after my ggrandmother emigrated to Canada.  His parents were Reuben Stephenson and Margaret Gaskell.  He has been my brick wall for years.

I would love to catch up with him this new year!!!

Thanks Donna.  Margaret Gaskell Stephenson died in 1892 and left the children orphaned.  Both Margaret and Elizabeth emigrated to Canada in 1907 and 1909 respectively.  John Henry disappeared after 1907, but it would be great if you could find him somewhere on the 1901, that might help me narrow down my search.
