Hi Ken, We spoke some time age ref The Stephenson familes, but figured out there was no link, anyway, thought you might like to read this from todays Hull Daily Mail...
http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/news/Help-catch-graveyard-vandals/article-874336-detail/article.html
Hull Daily Mail- 6th April 2009
POLICE are stepping up patrols in Sutton after vandals damaged 32 headstones in a church graveyard.
The headstones have been pushed over at St James' Church in what officers describe as an act of "mindless" vandalism.
The culprits attacked some of the stones on Thursday before returning on Friday to cause yet more damage.
The Mail understands that families whose deceased relatives' graves have been affected have not yet discovered the devastating news.
Reverend Heather Nesbitt, vicar of St James', Church Street, Sutton, said: "I think it is so sad. It appears whoever did it just went around and systematically pushed them over.
"We cannot necessarily get in touch with the families so it is a case of waiting for them to visit.
"Then they will come to my door in such a distressed state."
Rev Nesbitt said she was preparing for visits from people who would be understandably upset.
She said: "Relatives are going to be very distressed to find the grave they have been attending, maybe over the years, has been desecrated as far as they're concerned.
"It is sacred to the memory of the people who are there and it is so sad."
PC Rich Watson, beat manager of the East Policing Team, based at Bransholme Police Station, said his main priority was finding who caused the damage.
He said: "There are families who have relatives and friends deceased in the graveyard and they expect it to be a place they can rest in peace.
"They expect to be able to pay their respects without having to put up with such mindless damage."
PC Watson said his team would be stepping up patrols of the area in a bid to find who caused the damage.
Anyone with information about the damage is being asked to call Humberside Police on 0845 6060222 .
Lets hope they catch the culprits!

Be a couple of weeks before I get to have a look at the MI again

Sarah

Do we assume Mary was in touch with her husband in Canada, her status changes from married to widow between 1861 and 1871

Do you know when Mary died
When I looked at the MI books at the Treasure House (East Riding Archives)
There was only one book in the section for Cottingham (St Marys)
There is another cemetery down Eppleworth Road, I think this is a municipal cemetery (all dominations are buried here)
Looking on the East Yorkshire Family History Society's list of publications they have two booklets for this cemetery. Possibly someone was already looking at these or else they could have been misfiled
I should be going in the next couple of weeks

Hi Ken
Looking through the MI's, there are 56 entries for Stephenson and 42 for Scott.  and maybe some more that would be included if they had a headstone.

also Sarah daughter of the above who died 25/8/1913 aged 68,
also Thomas Scott who died 7/11/1929 aged 82
BR (burial record)
10/3/1911 Mary Scott, widow, Vine House, Cottingham, 92
17/8/1913 Sarah Scott, spinster, Harland Road, Cottingham, 68
9/11/1929 Thomas Scott, bachelor, Eppleworth Road, Cottingham, 82
.......................................................
In loving memory of Rhoda, daughter of Richard & Eliza Scott of COttingham who died 26/2/1898 aged 29,
also Eliza Ann, wife of Richard Scott who died 7/1/1900 aged 66
also the above Richard who died 28/8/1903 aged 78
BR

Hello
I have read that you have some Stephenson family history, William and Catherine nee Archbutt
I am related to this branch of the family, William's brother John is my 3x great grandfather, would you be able to tell me more??
Another of William's brothers was also a Methodist preacher, he remained in Cottingham and married into the Zealand family

Well ... to give you a short version of MY family history ......... my ggg was a William Stephenson born 1814 at Doncaster S Yorks ... but he married a Mary Scott at Cottingham in 1838 ... going on to have at least 6 children baptised at Cottingham ... and lived in the area. This family came to Canada in 1854 ... but if my William was any relation to Cottingham area Stephensons ... I still do not know this.
Back some 25 years ago, I teamed up with another relation here in Ontario, and we became the family genealogists ... gathering up death reports for ancestors ... searching census records ... sitting in front of mico-film reading machines ... and all that family tree searching stuff .
Jean (the lady who was helping me) lives close to Toronto, here in Ont., and she used the Mormon Library research room ... plus Toronto Archives, along with talking to older relations here in Ont ... and some where in this search, she came across the Cottingham, Stephenson family history that was done in 1916 - 17, and she sent me a photo copy of it. But I can not remember where she got it now.
As I say, what I have is a photo copy of the booklet (Stephenson Brochure) ... and I am going to guess that it must have been in a Toronto Library, here in Ontario. It is quite a few pages long, and looks to be fairly professsionally done, with black and white photographs printed in it and all.
I will have to phone Jean and ask her where she got it ... she is in her early 80's now ... and having some health problems.
PS ... go to the top of this page ... and it will read Welcome back Bunny1129 you have 1 message (click on here) the private message is from me

William Stephenson - born 1814 at Doncaster West Yorkshire - married Mary Scott at Cottingham East Yorkshire (Hull) in 1838. Williams parents I believe were another Wm Stephenson and an Alice Carter - married Cantley Parish W Yorks (Doncaster) in 1811..... Other east riding names are Nicholls (Bridlington, Yorks and Wigan Lancs.) and the surname Withernwick.
