In Response To: Re: Stephenson ()

would appear to confirm my original suggestion near top of this message group - the illeg gson of Thomas Stevenson (ggfa?) isn't proving easy to find - can't immediately find an match in presentments - but being Thomas's wife's nephew as well ?? - I think the two wills are summarised on MNB - Thomas 1780

I think Thomas might well have come from Douglas as a Thomas Stevenson shopkeeper buys property in Marown earlier but havn't yet matched the deed of sale of Botchin - I can find the transfer to the Cubbon's but not onwards - more work in library end of this week.
