Hi Trixie,

Pem is short for Emily or sometimes Emma

Hi Trixie: There is a Catherine Aston listed in Eliot Street School on the Friendsreunited site. I believe she grew up in Nechells and might have connections to you.

I have William Stephens married to Sarah Ann (nee Ward) and their sons George born 1877 and Arthur Henry born 1879.
Any connections?

Hi Trixie Thanks for your reply.
Sarah Ann Ward married William Stephens from Winchcombe Gloucester at Alcester 26 December 1874. William had been a witness at the marriage of Henry Ward and Elizabeth Fairy 2 days previously (Christmas Eve day) - my great grandparents.
I am desperately trying to find the descendants of Henry Ward's siblings but cannot seem to break the down the walls from 1901 onwards. I would dearly love to make contact before mid March which is the 125th anniversary of the arrival of Henry Ward in New Zealand.
Like you I can see no connection between our respective Stephens families.
Good luck with your searching
Marlene
