Carolyn, You won't be surprised to learn that Dickason's list includes a fair number of folks with surname STEVENS or STEPHENS. However, I don't see any John or William would appear to fit the information you've provided.

Hi, missed the beginning of this discussion but I have a John Stevens and son William Stevens probably at the same mine. He was in cornwall for the 1891 census and died in SA in November 27, 1897. Cannot find him on a ship's list as yet so don't have an exact date. They were living in Penzance prior to SA. Hoping you can help. I also have Prowses in my family line. Thank you for any help. You usually are a wealth of information at least for my family lines! > Isabel, > > Dickason (page 103) shows the following: "PROUT, William.
