Notes for Kate Stephens
Her maiden name was eventually found in the record of their church marriage, but no registered marriage.
_______________
This 1861 census is the only one for 1861 that includes her father name as given at her marriage:
First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
George Stephens Head Married Male 38 1823 Carpenter Dartington, Devon, England
Caroline Stephens Wife Married Female 35 1826 Dressmaker Totnes, Devon, England
Albert Stephens Son - Male 10 1851 - Dartington, Devon, England
Ann Stephens Daughter - Female 9 1852 Scholar Dartington, Devon, England
Kate Stephens Daughter - Female 6 1855 Scholar Totnes, Devon, England
William H Stephens Son - Male 3 1858 Scholar Totnes, Devon, England
George Stephens Son - Male 1 1860 - Totnes, Devon
But her birth year is ten years later than that given at her death and she always sais she was born in Bristol. So I don’t think this census is hers.
But this 1871 census looks more like her:
First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
Mary A Stephens Head - Female 54 1817 - Somerset, England
Kate Stephens Daughter - Female 25 1846 - Gloucestershire, England
Frederick Stephens Son - Male 16 1855 - Gloucestershire, England
Margaret Lensley Servant - Female 28 1843 - Yorkshire
And the handwritten enumerator’s form gives her birth place as Bristol.
Finally this 1861 census has her father’s name as well:
First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
George Stephens Head Married Male 43 1818 Victualar Somerset
Mary A Stephens Wife Married Female 45 1816 - Somerset
Kate Stephens Daughter - Female 16 1845 - Bristol, Gloucestershire
Frederick Stephens Son - Male 6 1855 - Bristol, Gloucestershire
Mary Thomas Servant Unmarried Female 23 1838 House Servant Bristol, Gloucestershire
