Hi and welcome to the forum.

With such specific information that you have for his birth, I can't imagine that you don't have the 1901 census, but I'll post the details anyway in case they help.

Phoenix Street, Cowpen, Northumberland
George Stevens Head M 35 Coal Miner (stoneworker) Kent Dover
Emiliy Wife M 30 Northumberland Newcastle
George H son 11 " "
Janet daur 9 " Blyth
Joseph F son 5 " Newsham
John W son 3 " "
Emily daur 1 " "
RG13; Piece: 4813; Folio: 132; Page: 4

The way to be certain of Edith's surname is from the birth certificate of one of their children.

wow thanks for that, some of that information i had already but great for clarity. how can i get hold of one of the kids birth certificate to find out her last name??

also in the 1901 census that you mentioned the head of the house was george stevens, his farther was called william stevens and heard that he was married any chance of knowing who and what he did for a living

Hi and welcome to rootschat.
There are various free sites that you can use to help your search.   www.freebmd.org.uk has very good coverage of births, deaths and marriages after 1837 so that is one place to look for a child's birth certificate.   You can also search the full index on various paying sites.  Once you have the reference you can order it online from the GRO at Southport.   www.familysearch.org has earlier baptisms and marriages for many places too and also the 1881 census.
Both the surnames can be spelled in different ways so it would help us if you can give what firm information you already have about the family to make sure we get the right ones.    Don't mention any living people though as we avoid doing that on this forum.
Working back through the census the family are in Blyth in 1891
  Rg12 4273 12 19      4 Percy Street
George 25 coal miner b Dover
Emily 20 b Elswick Newcastle
George 1 b St Anthony's Newcastle

Freebmd has a possible marriage in June 1889 with a bride called Emily Maugher or Maughan.   Getting a birth certificate for one of their children would confirm that name too.  If it is correct then getting the marriage certificate would give the names and occupations for both fathers.

 A little snippet on 1901 census

Although the census puts the family in Cowpen, it means that they were within the Civil Parish of Cowpen ( Cowpen today is part of Blyth)

Phoenix St was/is within Newsham ( then within civil parish of Cowpen, now western part of Blyth.)

The New Delaval colliery ( sometimes known as Forster Pit) was very close to Phoenix St.

George son of George and Emily was registered as George Arthur in June Qtr 1899 within Newcastle Registration District.

I don't mean to be rude but I'm really curious.  I'm married to one of the grandsons of James Maughan Stevens who was born in 1902 to George and Emily.  I have Edith from Wigan in my records and the parents of George Stevens are listed as Thomas and Charlotte Ferris. 

the children of George and Emily are as follows:


Emily Isabella Stevens m. Thomas McHugh
Amelia Fergus Stevens m. Jake Jacobson
Robert Stevens m. Elizabeth
Charlotte Stevens d. at birth
Thomas Stevens m. Alice Bates
John William Stevens m. Edith
Joseph Fergus Stevens m. Georgina Lewis
Joseph Stevens d. aged 13 months
Janet Stevens m. Jack Bates
George Henry Stevens m. Sarah Dingwall (he was killed in WW1)
James Maughan Stevens m. Elsie Seddon

Hi wassack and welcome to rootschat
Sorry to amend your first post but we do not allow any details of living people on posts.   Too much risk of identity theft etc.  I hope you get replies here but if not you can use our personal message system to contact the other posters by clicking on the scroll under their name.  You need one more post to access that though so if you reply to this you should be OK.
