Elizabeth Stephenson - Yarm abt 1814

[origins]

This lady is  a mystery, says born abt 1814 Yarm.   If anybody has access to that particular parish I wonder if they would be so kind as to look this up for me.   Unfortunately she died in abt 1853, so have no other census to compare birth place.

Many thanks
Val

what exactly are you looking for?

i have had a look on ancestry and their is a tree there that has her on it married to francis swales is this the same lady?

[origins]

Yes that is her married to Francis Swales.  There are a few Trees with her, but nobody seems to know who her parents were.   I am looking for her baptism, names of parents and any other information, occupation of father.

Thanks Val

just for your info i live in yarm, if i get chance i will go for a wander to the church and see if i can find anythingout for you. 

al i know at the moment is that in yarm there is a little yard callled stephenson yard and also there is some connection with the robert louis stephenson of the rocket fame, in the town.

Thank you so much that is very kind of you.  I do doubt that my Stephensons have anything to do with Robert Louis though.

Many thanks Val

if you say she died about 1853 have you not got her death certificate? that may hold some detail to help you

HI,

No I don't have her death certificate.  Have so many other certificates to get, it's a bit expensive.   

Thanks Val

Hello, I realise this is an old thread, but thought it might be worth a stab. I have recently started researching my family history through the Stokesley Grainge family. It appears that I descend from Elizabeth Stephenson and Francis Swales through thier daughter Christiana (Swales) Grainge. I have Elizabeth as born in Yarm 1813, and Francis as born in Aycliffe 1814. Does anyone have any further information on Elizabeth, Francis or Christiana? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
