absolutley

but I cant work out how

"vere" and "stephenson"


most branches seem to want to keep the "vere" and give many of their children the middle name

annie x

ps really appriciate all the help

[lizdb]

It could go back a long way, or not be on a direct line.
I have a name carried through one branch of my family, many people used it, daughters gave it to their sons (even though their surnames obviously changed ) and then their children passed it on too, and sons gave it to their sons down every line.

You will have to just keep following everyone and one day will find the link! Isnt that what this is all about and where the fun is!!!

Some christenings -

18 Jul 1824
Manea Cambridgeshire
Vere Stevenson
parents Joseph and Susannah

(could this be your John Vere?)

18 April 1836
Suffolk Bishops transcripts
Joseph Vere Stevenson
parents Robert and Elizabeth

21 Ap 1840
Joseph Vere Stevenson
Suffolk Bishops Transcripts
parents Robert and Elizabeth

could thisd be the little Vere in 1841 in Suffolk? and could other one be an older bro who died?

[Vere]

So you probably have 1861 census too, then, but I will post it to save anyone else looking for the details:

RG9 34 130 40
still at 18 Keppel Street Chelsea
Veres Stephenson 37 White Smith bn Cambridge Ely
Catherine 37 bn Gloster Barkersheard
Thomas 16 son White Smith bn Chelsea
Susan 8 bn Chelsea
MAria Washbourn widow 38 visitor bn Romford essex
Thomas Washbourn visitor 11 bn Hugglestone Middx

I wouldnt be at all surprised if this Maria wasnt nee Stephenson and is the one who might have married a Thomas Washbourn in same quarter as Vere and Catherine married!

  Sorry, but Maria is a Stephenson and sister to Thomas. I know this because i have the marriage certificates for both marriage's. I will be sending Annie a response to her email's but, if anyone can get in touch with her please do.

Hello Annie, i have been trying to get in touch with you for a month now without success. If you are connected to the line of Thomas Vere Stephenson then you and i have a connection. Can i please ask if you have a name for  the wife of Thomas Vere? I ask this because there are a few Thomas Stephenson's about and are mistaken for this Thomas Vere Stephenson. I have someone who states he is connected to this line but, i know for a fact he has the incorrect Thomas, as i have the marriage cert. for his Thomas. I look forward to hearing from you.

Isn't this exactly what lizdb was implying? That a Maria Stephenson married Thomas Washbourne?

Annie hasn't been on Rootschat since 15 Feb

[Vere]

She did imply Maria Stephenson married Thomas Washbourn but, i thought lizdb was implying she thought Maria Washbourn was not Maria Stephenson but, infact she is.

[bedfordshire boy]

She said she wouldn't be surprised if Maria Washbourne wasn't née Stephenson bearing in mind the marriage she'd found. Cutting out the negatives, she thought Maria Washbourne was Maria Stephenson. And you've confirmed that she was right!
