Hello Jack, Everyone,

I'd not yet finished sorting all the Stephens I was searching through
when my 2nd cousin sent a copy of a marriage certificate which has
thrown a spanner in our researching.

Dated January 31st,1860 at St. Philips Church, Sydney, NSW,
Australia. (Church of England)

Between
John STEER bachelor, mariner, age 29, birthplace Bideford, Devonshire.
&
Sarah FLANAGAN spinster, gardener's daughter, age 18, birthplace Sydney, NSW.

John's parents are listed as PETER STEER, farmer, & GRACE HARTOP
Sarah's parents are listed as THOMAS FLANAGAN, gardener, & MARY QUIN


So, my Henry STEER b. 1860 son of John STEER & SARAH FLANAGAN has a
different JOHN STEER as father.

Instead of John STEER(b.1828), Whitstone Cornwall, son of Stepen
STEER & Mary DO(O)BLE we have

John STEER born c. 1830/31, Bideford Devonshire, son of Peter STEER &
Grace HARTOP.

So far I haven't located a record of John from Bideford entering Australia.

I'm hopeful someone here may offer some further information on these
newly found ancestors.

Peter Steer from Devon are you related to my Peter Steer from Devon ?
(see I've been searching in the archives) :)

Regards, Vicki.
Hunter Valley, Australia.
