Unfortunately the article does not give a forename or even an initial for Mr Stean. Can anyone help to identify him please, maybe he was your ancestor or taught a relative to play the violin. Thank you. |

In 1906 Fred Steane married Edith Sephton Barber, a member of the Sephton boatbuilding/pub family.
Her mother Caroline Barber (nee Sephton) ran the Victoria Temperance Hotel at 25 Warwick Row, Coventry.
Ancestry probate records show they both died in Portsmouth in the 1960s.

I know a lot of censuses are, and at the moment I've not catered for those file-types for uploading images to the forum - only GIF, PNG & JPG. If you have some way of converting your census to, say, a JPG file (making a screen-grab would be one way), then it should upload OK.
If it appears that TIFs are required regularly, then I'll see if I can re-code the uploading script to allow for them. ![]() |
