Descendants of Robert Stephenson and Mabel Carr

[gladys1]

Hi,

I am tracing my family tree.  According to my gg grandmother Euphemia Rae Amer (nee Stevenson) she is related to George Stephenson (Rocket Fame).

I would very much like to hear from descendants of the Stephenson family in the Northumberland area.

Any information that anyone can give me would be of most help.

I have a marriage for John Stephenson middle name of Turner he married a Caroline Apedale at St Peters Church Newcastle on Tyne 5 Feb 1848 and it states that his father was John Darling Stephenson and i`m trying to find the connection to George Stephenson the rocket fame.  Would you have anything on that.   Gladys.

Hi Gladys1
The John Stephenson who I am descended from (b. 1789 m. to Grace Henderson had six children - one of whom was John - who married a Esther Thompson.  Descendants from John & Esther's daughter (Annie - my gr gr grandmother) are living in NZ.  Sorry I cant help with your John Stephenson.

Cheers

Hello Paynt Brushes thank you for your reply so i think that i will have to leave off from John Darling Stephenson now.  Gladys.

There is a pedigree of Stephenson at................
http://www.robertstephensontrust.com/page10.html

George Stephenson (Famous Engineer) had one son Robert (famous engineer) who died childless. Robert was godfather of Robert stephenson Smyth Baden Powell (founder of Scout movement) - there were rumours that Robert may have been B-Ps father.

Thanks Jmichaeltaylor
Had a look at the tree and it doesnt agree with mine - so maybe Im not related after all.

Cheers

The Stephenson family tree for Geo and Rbt stephenson on the Rbt stephenson Trust website was compliled by Robert Stephenson Roper (dcd) and has a great deal of research behind it - Over 40 years of contact with Stephenson's all over the world lie behind the tree and hence it is correct unless someone proves otherwise

Hello.

It is probably some while since this thread was active.

I saw this thread when I was doing some general research on the Scottish surname Stevenson and wonder if anyone can help?

My family line came from Scotland to Northumberland via Kirkcudbrightshire and before that Ayrshire and Argyll.  When looking at an Ayrshire relative on Scotlandspeople I was surprised to see that my Lindsay relative was the son of a woman called Jane Stevenson.  It seems from the basic research I have undertaken that the surname Stevenson is 'uniquely Scottish'.  I am aware of the famous Stevenson light house engineers but was intrigued when I noticed that George Stephenson's father ' Old Bob' was supposed to have been Scottish.

Does anyone have any information on this and importantly how and if the name was corrupted from (Old Bob) Stevenson to (George) Stephenson?

Thanks NG.
