STEPHENS of Neath
« on: Tuesday 18 November 14 10:46 GMT (UK) »
Kia ora
Greetings from New Zealand!
I am hoping someone may be able to help me!

I have been  tracking the family of WILLIAM STEPHENS & Sarah Ann WARD who married in 1874 in Alcester Warks.
They had 2 sons viz George Ernest 1876  & Arthur Harry 1879 in Birmingham.

The eldest son George Ernest in turn had a son Arthur William Stephens in 1901 who married Phyllis Lemon in 1934 in Birmingham. I have gathered certificates up to this point to  verify my research

 From Free BMD it appears that Arthur & Phyllis STEPHENS had 4 children between 1934 and 1947 in Neath. 2 sons and 2 daughters. It appears that all may have married in Neath.

I would desperately love to contact someone from the family to exchange information but need advice as to how to obtain Addresses etc. I have no idea whereabouts in the District thay may have lived.

I would very much appreciate a PM if anyone  could offer advice as to Libraries or other sources  I could contact!

Perhaps neighbours or old school friends might recognise the info above? I am reluctant to publish names of possibly living persons  but content to put information in a PM if required.

Thanks in anticipation!
Dale
