Now if only we could find Samuel’s family....was he actually a widow when he arrived in Van Diemen’s Land as a convict is 1832? His convict record said he was a widow of 5 years? Was he a son of Philip Stevenson?
So many questions?

Thank you, I’ve now sorted out the two Harriets and can see clearly the DNA matches I have...thanks for your help

Thank you for all of the amazing information

Just been back over information from family in USA, and I’m also wondering about this Hariett...the records state she was Hariett Donkin and they married in 1841; they’re on census records with her parents

I sent to UK for more information on the court appearances they sent copies of about 3 appearances i...

I think this is one of those old records from Family Search that someone was “fishing” and then couldn’t remove. Louisa was only my Great Grandmother and lived in the same town we live now from before she married her first husband William Trevillian......the house is still standing today and it was ...

No not mine, Louisa first married William Trevillian in 1868 and then John Bassett in 1880

Thank you for all the follow up With regard to the Trove article I have my doubts about that accuracy....as I think he was great at covering his trail.....my father, uncle and several cousins all match the descendants of Enoch Stevenson who migrated to USA and I’ve also discovered the connection to ...

First post; my GG Grandfather was a Samuel Stevenson/Stephenson. A huge brick wall, on his daughters marriage certificate in 1868 in Australia he was listed as father and a Surgeon, mother listed as Mary Ann Devine, they are mysteries. Louisa also stated she was born in Evandale TasmaniaAus in 1846,...
