Maggie has kindly looked up this marriage

02 Oct 1870 - St Thomas, Dudley - By Banns
Samuel Stevens (X), 21, B, Rivet Maker, of Dudley, Father William Stevens, Fitter
Comfort Siviter (X), 19, S, of Dudley, Father Thomas Siviter, Miner
Wit : Hannah Steventon (X) and Thomas White (X)

I'm a bit confused... here's the link

Eek!!

1861
Trivdale?, Rowley
William Stevens 46 - Colliery labourer - b Tipton
Mary A Stevens 50 - b St Releams?
James Stevens 19 - Colliery labourer
William Stevens 17 - Colliery labourer
Samuel Stevens 15 - Colliery labourer
others b Trivdale?

and
Blackheath Mott Street, Rowley
William Stoventon 45 - Coalminer - b Oldburby
Mary Stoventon 41 - Nailmaker
Nancy Stoventon 18 - Nailmaker
William Stoventon 13 - Nailmaker
Samuel Steventon 11 - Nailmaker
Hannah Steventon 8
Mary Steventon 6
Benjamin Steventon 3
others b Rowley

I think it's the latter, FarSide, and I think there is a connection back to Jemima Plant b. 1841 whose daughter Ann Elizabeth Yardley married Ezra Evans and whose daughter Frances Fanny Evans married Samuel Steventon b. about 1871.

Thanks Dennis, I'm adding that latter one
Samuel and Comfort made their mark so perhaps they didn't realise the mistake regarding surname of Stevens instead of Steventon

Cheers Farside
