Hi Bruce, well....there is an upwardly mobile family for you eh? They really got around didn't they? Thanks for putting it all in order like that. It shouldn't be too hard to trace them forward from there now. Imagine them going to Cornwall , London and Toxteth Park. Yes I do have a subscription to ancestry so I'll get to that now. Thanks again, Regards, Patti ----- Original Message ----- From: Bruce McDowall To: pmcvetty Cc: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, January 15, 2011 7:32 AM Subject: Re: [WIG LIST] Thomson/McTaggart/Stevenson Hi Patti, There's lots of information on your STEVENSONs. I have delved into some of it using census data from the IGI, FreeCEN and Ancestry.com. If you have an Ancestry.com subscription, or can get to a library with the service, you will be able to pursue this further. I did these transcriptions in a hurry, so missed noting some details. I did take a look at a some of the images though, and corrected transcription errors where I noticed them. (Ancestry.com census transcriptions are somewhat prone to error.)
