Steven family in Wick
« on: Wednesday 19 November 08 22:52 GMT (UK) »
Please also see my post "Flett family in Wick"
http://www.rootschat.com/links/04vf/   

I have birth of Diana Steven in Wick on 17 Dec 1789 (from SP).
Her parents are:
George Steven and Elizabeth Miller.

I also have her marriage to Henry/Harry Flett and details of 10 children.

Can anyone find their births, marriage or deaths.
Also looking for siblings of Diana.

I'm getting nowhere at the moment.

Thanks for any help you can give on either thread.

Hi Dave

There are two siblings showing for Diana:

1. ELIZABETH STEVEN Christening: 14 DEC 1784 Wick
2. DAVID STEVEN Christening: 23 JUN 1787 Wick

Parents marriage shows on 27 JAN 1769 in Wick, so missing a good number of children for them.

Added: there are 11 children showing for them on SP, looks like you might be missing one  ::)

Going by naming pattern for Henry and Diana's children:

1810 - Henry (Harry) Flett - Henry's father?
1811 - George Flett - Diana's father
1813 - Elizabeth Flett - Diana's mother
1814 - Catherine Flett - Henry's mother?
1816 - Diana Flett
1818 - David Flett
1819 - William Flett
25 Dec 1820 - Isobella Greissell Flett
22 Oct 1822 - Christian Flett
22 Oct 1822 - Margaret Flett
18 Sep 1824 - Anne Flett

You have Henry born. c. 1781. There is one possible set of parents:

HENRY FLETT  and KATHRINE MILLER - Marriage: 23 NOV 1762 in Wick. Children showing to them on IGI (mixture of submitted and actual extract):

1. MARGARET FLETT Christening: 01 JAN 1764 Wick
2. DAVID FLET Christening: 08 JUN 1766 Wick
3. GRACE FLEAT  Christening: 03 NOV 1768 Wick
4. WILLIAM FLETT  Christening: 31 MAY 1771 Wick
5. ISOBEL OR ELIZABETH FLET Christening: 06 AUG 1777 Wick

Dohh  :P Just realised that the above parents are as showing on one of the links I gave earlier www.fortunecity.com/millenium/byker/26/newfiles/per00138.htm#0

At least we came to same conclusion  ::)

Thanks Monica,
I haven't had much of a chance to log in today until an hour or so ago so I apologise for not replying sooner.  I've been catching up on emails.

Since last night I have had so many replies to 2 of 3 posts I made, I'm going to bogged down for a while recording it all.

It's brilliant being on the receiving end of information.  I haven't had any major results for a while.  In the last couple of days I've made a fair bit of progress.

Dave

Incidentally, I forgot to mention on this thread that Diana was called Stiven at the birth of a number of her children.
