Hi Cindy, whereabouts in the US are you?

I have a possible 'cousin' in Springfield Illinois; It's a Pam Stephenson Lewis.
She spotted my name on a Facebook post and contacted me; I understand that a member of her family has been trying to find their roots.

It just made me wonder if you had any contact with her, or possible connection.

I know that I had a copy of the Stephenson family tree; not sure if it was from maggie360 or if it was posted on here at some point.
Just wondering if anyone can supply a copy, which I'll pay for of course?

Hello all, thank you for your replies. In the hours since I first posted I supplied the information I had in a 'chat'; several people helped me enormously, so I now have the information I needed.

As a total newbie, I didn't know my way around or how to proceed.

Thank you all again.

The anchor shoulder patch may simply be a Divisional Emblem.
The Gordon Hjghlanders Museum should be able to assist you with that.

Just a thought, but the other items you mentioned could just be good luck tokens he carried during his war service; my father had similar items.

Hello all, I have a date and location of death, hoping to use this as a start point but I have no idea how to begin; would some kind person point me in the right direction please?

Hi Jon,

That's disappointing, but I did wonder how the people I was chatting with came up with that so quickly.
I did notice that they made an incorrect link to George Stephenson, Railway Engineer; so I put them right on that.

What was interesting was one comment about Elizabeth Gordon; another Gordon thought the family were from Berwick upon Tweed; apparently this came from their own searches, but not sure that it helps.

Are you still researching the Romaldmirk link?

Hi all, I stumbled into a chat room on site and some very helpful people were straight on the case for me.
I have a possible hit for the John Stephenson we can't get past in 1800.

1784-1844 John Stephenson born Triconopoly, India.
Died 04 December 1844. Oldham, Lancashire.

The information linked Elizabeth Gordon and the Brumwell name.

Has anyone come across this information already?

Hi Ian, I had been thinking about that actually.
I'll have a look at the service providers and set  the ball rolling.

Do you know if anyone has tried the Literary and Philosophical Society in Newcastle upon Tyne? I'll go and see what I can find, just as another avenue to explore.

Brian
