Title: birth date for Josephine Stevenson
Post by: westisle on Sunday 05 June 11 22:27 BST (UK)

Josephine Florence Stevenson was born in 1835 in (Kells?) Meath. I do not have an exact date for her birth. Her father was Rev Joseph Stevenson, the son of Sir John Andrew Stevenson of Dublin. His sister was the Marchioness of Headfort (died in 1834). Joseph was the rector of Newtown.
Any info on her or her siblings would be appreciated.

Newtown is a Civil/Church of Ireland parish located close to the town of Kells. It's a separate parish from Kells. The only historic records which seem to be available for this parish in the RCB Library are marriages from 1856 onwards, which would be covered by civil records, since these are available from 1845 for Church of Ireland marriages .

Records for the parish of Kells go back to 1773 for baptisms, marriages and burials.

Thankyou for the reply. I notice that the Kells records are at the Church library archives.
