Notes
- Thomas Stevenson appears in census returns from 1861 to 1901. On his marriage to Ellen Dyson he shows his name as Thomas Stevenson Oldenshaw. GRO Dec 1878 Worcester 6c 471 Ellen Dyson and Thomas Stevenson Oldenshaw.
A search of the GRO also shows a marriage of Thomas Stevenson to either a Jessie Burns or Betsey Jones in Dec 1877 Worcester 6c 489. A search of the 1881 census has failed to find either Jessie Burns, or Betsey Jones or as Stevenson. It may be that the marriage to Ellen Dyson was bigamous and he used Oldenshaw to cover his true identity.
