Stephens of Kington

[Scottie]

Hello Everybody,

I'm new to this and I need help to find any details of my Great Great Grandad Thomas Stephens who was a shopkeeper in Church Street, Kington, Hereford in 1840.
May have been born in 1802?

He had a son (my Great Grandad) Richard born in 1835 in Kington.

Also has anyone got any pictures of Church St Kington.

Thanks very grateful for any help.
Peter

Hello.
Which property in Church Street are you looking for a picture of? Also are you looking for an  old picture or a modern photograph? Because Kington isn't that far away from me.

Have you got all the infomation you need about the Stephens of Kington now ?

He was a photographer and postcard of his come up on ebay regularly

In the 1858 Casseys Directory of herefordshire he is down as a shop keeper in Church Street Kington, but not specified what sort of shop.

Do you know what number he was at from any of your researches ?
