 On the Stephenson side ... the William that came to Canada (1854) .. left one brother .. Henry (who lived at Branton in Cantley Parish .. W Yorkshire). Both Henry and his parents Wm Stephenson and Alice Carter are buried in St Wifrid's Church grave yard (Cantley .. just S.E of Doncaster Yorks) .. And I believe the next generation back, is another William Stephenson a coachmaker of Doncaster, who died in 1806.
William Stephenson - born 1814 at Doncaster West Yorkshire - married Mary Scott at Cottingham East Yorkshire (Hull) in 1838. Williams parents I believe were another Wm Stephenson and an Alice Carter - married Cantley Parish W Yorks (Doncaster) in 1811..... Other east riding names are Nicholls (Bridlington, Yorks and Wigan Lancs.) and the surname Withernwick.
