census lookups

[sherylbadger]

i am looking for James Stephenson who married Maria Elizabeth ? (known as Elizabeth sometimes)

Apparently James Stephenson died around 1864.

Known children are

James born 1838 Bermondsey, Surrey  (he married Helen Alice Overgage in 1864 Surrey).

Not sure when but he come to WA and died in 1901.  I am currently try to figure out when he came to Australia.

James was written as a builder when his son got married in 1864.

I already have the marriage GRO number for James and Helen Overgage just looking for James and Maria? and maybe other siblings.

You probably have this info, but it may help - james and Helen Alice appear on 1871 census with 4 children and on 1881 with 8 children -can't find them on 1891, so possibly they emigrated between 1881-1891
