Frost covered monument to Eveline and John Walter Stephens, All Saints Cemetery, Maidenhead Berkshire.
Eveline Stephens was born Eveline Foale in Dartmouth, Devon on 1st September 1872 to David Foale, a farmer, and his wife Mary Ann Cutmore Hingston.
Eveline first appears in the 1881 Census living with her parents and siblings, Alice, David, Charles, William and Harry at the 165-acre Townstall Farm in Dartmouth, Devon.
In 1891 Eveline and her family have moved to another farm in Dittisham, Dartmouth.
John Walter Stephens was born in St. Albans, Hertfordshire on 13th April 1868, to John Stephens, a clerk at a registry office, and his wife Sarah Rosanna Coltart.
John first appears in the 1871 Census aged 2 years living with his parents and siblings, Rosanna, and Hugh, at 3 Canterbury Terrace, Harrow, Middlesex. At some point between the 1871 and 1881 Census, John Snr passes away.
In 1881 The widowed Sarah and her children, Rosanna, Hugh and John Walter have moved back to St Albans in Hertfordshire.
In 1891 the family, minus Rosanna are still living in St Alban's Road in Watford Hertfordshire. Hugh is now a railway clerk, and John is simply listed as a clerk. I am unable to locate Rosanna's whereabouts on the 1891 Census. However, in 1892 Rosanna marries Henry Thomas Horton a butcher.
