Stevenson family
« on: Tuesday 03 December 19 00:52 GMT (UK) »
Hello! I am specifically looking for:

Arthur Stevenson b:dec1921 d:1975

Mother: Mary Stevenson m.s Davi (?) also remarried a Ramsay before 1944

Father: William Stevenson (can’t confirm this though) d before 1944 no b date.

His wife Jessie kirkwood McKenzie Stevenson b:1921 d:2011

They married in Scotland and moved to Canada with their two kids in 1948 or 49.

He has a brother William Stevenson not sure if he is older or younger than Arthur but as of 1975 in Arthur’s obituary it stated William was alive in Scotland.

I would really love if someone could help me find this side of my family! Any help or suggestions! Thanks for reading!

You say "I would really love if someone could help me find this side of my family!" 
Do you mean you want to find living family members or you are wanting to research Arthur's family going back beyond his parents.

I know!! I did that and guess what?! The Arthur Stevenson has a mother named Mary Stevenson that matches, but the father is listed a Reginald Hollingsworth. Not married. And not William Stevenson that is listed on Arthur’s marriage certificate. Same goes for the other one. No match.

Going back beyond his parents and such. I read this wasn’t a place to find living relatives and to be honest, right now I’m really interested in the history. It would be very neat to actually have living relatives found but not at all my focus. I want to find Arthur’s parents, and their parents and so forth :)

The Arthur Stevenson has a mother named Mary Stevenson

Does it have her maiden name, or is she Mary Stevenson?

Where have you got a brother William for him?

Arthur and Jessie are my great grandparents and that is their marriage certificate. That’s where I got Arthur’s parents names. It’s the rest of it I’m having issues with
