Didnt want anyone to argue over my comment!

Yes - I thought that Maria Washbourn I found on the census visiting Mr Stephenson, was probably the Maria Stephenson I found marrying a Mr Washbourn earlier ....   just an aside comment really.

And you say she was.

Are we all happy now!

(apart from poor Maria who, it seems was widowed young)
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

Good morning Annie, this is wonderful. If you go to Google and enter Vere Stephenson you will see i entered a quirie 4 years ago about the 1851 census you will see my email address in a response that you posted to me. Could you please use this, i find it more personal.

John Vere Stephenson born 1824
aka Vere Stephenson

I have marriage to Catherine Washbourn 1842 where they had 3 children see above post.

Now searching through some records I also have

marriage records for a
Vere Stephenson to Mary Mcgowen 1866
Vere Stephenson to Mary Maria Godbold (Godbolt) 1848

I do not know the ages of these "vere"s but they could be worth a look

Well, Vere has been busy. I did not know about the marriage to Mary Godbold. I do have the marriage to Mary McGowan in 1866. Vere was a widow at the time of his marriage to Mary McGowan. I have him married three times? If this other marriage (Mary Godbold) is correct then it will be four times. You will know the appr. year of birth if you search the 1851,1861,1871 census. Vere died in 1881 so searching the later census is useless. Please keep in mind in searching the census for Vere the enumerator sometimes entered his name as Vere, Vear, Were or Wear. Something you will not know, there are two Vere's out there and they are connected but not father and son.  It will be very easy to follow the incorrect line. I have one person i was in contact with ( but no Longer) who stated his connection was your Susan's brother Thomas. I asked if he purchased any certificates for Thomas and he said no. Well i purchased the marriage certificate and found he was wrong and he was following the incorrect Thomas. As it turns out his connection is to this other Vere. I mentioned this to him and now he will not return my emails. His loss!
