ARC - James Stephenson

[Fatman]

Hi all!

James Stephenson was born circa 1823 in Cheshire.
He marries a "Jane" and has children with her in Liverpool.

The easiest to identify is "Jane Havelock Stephenson"
birth: 23 Feb 1858
christening: 18 Mar 1858 Liverpool,"‹ Lancashire,"‹ England

But im struggling to go any further back than James.

Do you think this is the most likely marriage:
Jun 1850
Mulloy Jane Liverpool 20 321
Stephenson James Liverpool 20 321
Also on Family Search as Jane Mulley

Really stuck with this one!!

Thanks
Andrew

Hello Andrew,

On Ancestry there are two James Stephensons married to a Jane. One who states he was born in Malpass, Cheshire and the other one Chester, Cheshire

This is the James Stephenson & Jane Mulloy marriage from the image of the parish register off Ancestry:-

19 May 1850 at St Nicholas Church, Liverpool
James Stephenson "“ Full "“ Bachelor "“ Warehouseman "“ Baptist St "“ James Stephenson - Gardener
Jane Mulloy "“ Full "“ Spinster "“ Baptist St "“ Robert Mulloy "“ Tailor
Wit: Robert Mulloy, Ann Yates?

All born Liverpool

Bapt: Liverpool St Peter
30 March 1851 "“ Robert "“ James & Jane Stephenson "“ Mansfield Street "“ Labourer
Born: 28 Feb 1851

Bapt: Liverpool St Peter
18 March 1858 "“ Jane Havelock "“ James & Jane Stephenson "“ Scotland Road "“ Confectioner
Born: 23 Feb 1858

There are baptisms of the other children as well on Ancestry.

Unfortunately, with the different occupations of James on these documents, it still doesn"™t confirm if this is the correct marriage. Jane"™s middle name of Havelock must fit in some where. Could be one of her grandmother"™s maiden name?

Have you tried searching for James in the 1841 census with father James Stephenson?

i was hoping Porter in 1851 could be Warehouse Porter really?

This seems the most likely for James Stephenson with a father of James born in Cheshire:

Birkenhead
Hundred: Wirrall (Lower Division)
County/Island: Cheshire
Country: England

James Stephenson 50 abt 1791 Male add add add
Ann Stephenson 15 abt 1826 Female add add add
James Stephenson 20 abt 1821 Male add add add
Jonathan Stephenson 15 abt 1826 Male add add add
Joseph Stephenson 12 abt 1829 Male add add add
Ann Stephenson 40 abt 1801 Female add add add

And i think this is the Baptism for Jane Mulloy:

Jane Mulloy 7 May 1826 Liverpool St Nicholas Robert Mulloy Mary Mulloy

but nothing gets me any closer to proving it!

Could it be the only option is to order the certificate of Jane Havelock to get the mother maiden name?

I also found that James Stephenson in the 1841 census as well and wondered if it could be the same James.

Could this be the marriage of Jane Mulloy"™s (bapt 7 May 1826) parents?

Image from Ancestry:-

Marriage: 28 July 1822 at Liverpool St Nicholas
Robert Mulloy of the Parish of Liverpool, Taylor
and Mary Ann Hollins of same parish Spinster
Wit: Thomas Hollinds?, John Collin?

It doesn"™t state if Robert is a Bachelor or Widower.

19 May 1850 at St Nicholas Church, Liverpool
James Stephenson "“ Full "“ Bachelor "“ Warehouseman "“ Baptist St "“ James Stephenson - Gardener
Jane Mulloy "“ Full "“ Spinster "“ Baptist St "“ Robert Mulloy "“ Tailor
Wit: Robert Mulloy, Ann Yates?

To be 100% sure, it would be best to get the birth certificate for Jane Havelock Stephenson.
