He died in 1854 but interestingly (for me as a Geordie exile of just over 50 years) he states in his will he owns  "four twenty-fourth shares of a partnership in the Jarrow Chemical Company of South Shields". I've never come across this business title and I was wondering if anyone on the list could shed some light on it. My Yarrows originated round Hexham but this Stevenson name is off my wife's side of our family tree who came from London with connections in Buckinghamshire but to see a possible connection to the North-East on her side prompted my query. Many thanks for any help! Alan Y .. Please remember to snip most of the earlier message before you post any reply...... Thank you!
