In 1739, my 5GGP, John Stenson STEVENS and Ann STEVENS, married in Ockbrook. Although I have a large number of STEVENSes, and although I can trace John's family back a further three generations, I can find nothing at all about Ann, whose maiden name caused her first daughter to be named Ann Stevens STEVENS. Trusty Familysearch cannot produce any Ann STEVENS info for a person born about 1715 anywhere in DBY, NTT or LEI. Has anyone any ideas about further places to look, please? Kind regards Joy
Hi Joy - not suggesting you haven't seen these but Familysearch do have the following: Not Stevens but close. Ann Stenson (poss the ven has been lost in transcription?) 3rd June 1715 Alvaston, Derby Ann Steevenson May 23rd 1715 Lutterworth. Father John I have found recently that the new search facility on Family Search often says there is nothing found when I know that there is something - its very frustrating I have started being very general with my search (ie no dates or places ) and then filtering using the filters at the side margin - it seems to work better. Principle moan is that after one search every following search I try says "no results" which is not the case! Either I am doing something wrong or the system is limiting my searching!
