Stephenson - rocket

[Michael Dixon]

Gail,

As I felt a bit guilty about throwing Lecture number 37 (b)ii at you. I popped into my local library ( Bl;yth) this morning and dug up this..

In Census 1851 Surname Indexes for Tynemouth area, I saw several ... Mary Ann Stephenson.

But the only one born anywhere near 1833 was the Mary Ann in the family below.

Census 1851 Tynemouth.. Piece 2410 Folio 355*

Head Richard, 54yrs, Occ.. Trinity Alms House Annuitant, born Tynemouth.
Wife, Jane 51, Occ. Ex-Master Mariner's wife, b.Tynemouth.
Dtr, Elizabeth, unmarried, 23, Ex-MM's dtr, b.Tynemouth
Son, William Henry, u/m, 21 Plumber & Brazier, b. Preston.
Dtr, Mary Ann, u/m, 19, ex-MM's dtr, b. Tynemouth.
Dtr, Margaret. 12, scholar, b.Tynemouth.


*My library did not have the census pages available, to see their address etc... but from the folio number ( 355) I could ascertain  that the family resided in the town of Tynemouth itself,  and not it's surrounding areas.

From Master Mariner sorces in the library, I could see that Richard was Master of many ships ( at least 12) in the period from late 1820s to very early 1850s.

But your Mary Ann's dad was a William... so.........

And your Mary Ann by 1851, could have been living anywhere !

If you want details of Richard's ships, I will send them...

Hi Micheal,
By 1861 Mary was living with her husband Richard Broadley (sometimes Bradley) in Durham. They married in 1857 in Pittington Durham. Richard is from Moorleeds Lancashire. I don't have anything on them before that.
Please don't feel guilty about your emails as I have enjoyed reading them and you are a star looking for them for me.
Thank you so much.
Gail

PS. I look forward to reding your next installment.

Hi Gail

I have a Mary ann Stephenson and Richard Rushton Broadley as my
GG grandparents. They had two boys, one of which was Richard Rushton Broadley. My family history begins with one of those boys Richard born June 17, 1863 in Coundon England. He and wife Anne Mylan were married abt. 1884 and had 15 children. One of which was my Grandfather. George Stephenson Broadley. It was always said that he was a relation to the Rocket Men fame. But I for the life of me cant seem to find any more information. Our Mary ann Stephenson was born abt. 1828 and Richard Ruchton Broadley born abt. 1826. If you could help in any way I would be really greatful.  Thankyou Brett (Turbostreet)

Hi Everyone,

I hope you dont mind me adding to this thread, im currently searching a GG Grand mother also named "mary ann stephenson" although i know she was located in Ontario Canada at time giving birth to a son "Shadrick" (great name eh !) during 1890...  i noticed this was a similar time some other mentioned times (if perhaps a generation later though), ...i also know the canadian side of our family originated from the Yorkshire area of UK but no one knows when the family emigrated.

I managed to find her name on My Great Grandfathers WW1 recruitment form in the canadian genealogy archives:      http://data2.archives.ca/cef/gat3/117128a.gif

If anyone thinks they might be able to help or add any info i'd be very greatful
