Thank you so much for the info produced, I must tell you why this mystery has frustrated us, we started with my great grandmother Harriett Ann, a daughter of John James and Ellen/Emma and were told the maiden name of Harriett was Stevens, we searched for a marriage cert for Harriett and her husband Albert Phillips, but could not find one, when we eventually got one we found she is shown on her marriage cert as Stephenson, so then we went looking for details of her parents, and in the 1980s were told about the name change from Shufflebottom to Stevens, and after obtaining much info about our family on the Phillips line, and much on the Stevens line, we decided to look back past the Shufflebottom/Butler marriage, and are finding just as many dead ends as we did over the many years looking for a marriage of Albert Phillips and Harriett Stevens that turned out to be Stephenson, as Harriett could not read or write, but Albert could do both. We then found Albert was of aboriginal descent, but can only find a record of his mother and his stepfather, who was named Phillipe, then Phillips, but can still find no record of the biological father of Albert Phillips born at Williams River near Dungog in about 1840-43 period, but his death cert shows him age 69 in 1912, but not sure if that is correct as no birth record has been found so far. We have also not been able to find details of the parents of John James, just that he came from Burslem in Staffordshire, most of our frustration is because we dont know where to look and any sites that need payment are beyond our capacity to pay as we exist on our pension only. Wish we had been aware of this site earlier, it has been a great help to us, and for that we thank you, just our first day, and already getting results, thank you thank you thank you
