Stevens/Stephens family arrived SA in 1855 ??

Seems to be an error somewhere - father is Stephen or G... ??

868x deaths in SA for Stevens. Can't use g* so have to guess name. Not much help.

Looks like the marriage has an error with father as Stephen.

There is also this possible baptism

Louisa Stevens baptised Bentley, Hampshire, 31 December 1843 parents Stephen and Louisa. The 1851 Census shows Stephen born c1815 in Hampshire and Louisa born c1813 in Wiltshre. They married in Bentley 25 February 1843. Louisa's maiden name was Macey. No birth registration found for Louisa.

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks emeltee.

This is not clear with the name Stevens and Stephens in various records in S Aust.

One has Louisa born 17 Nov 1843 Mile End. And this has her father's name starting with G.

Advertiser and Register (Adelaide, SA) - Mon 31 Aug 1931 p.8
Mrs. Louisa Hancock, whose death occurred recently at Snowtown, was born in England in 1843. She was the only daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. G. Stevens, of Bald Hills, Yankalilla. At the age of 12 years she came to Australia with her parents. ... Aged 87 years.

I can't find a death that fits for Mr G. Stevens in Trove.

 

[DaveHam9]

These fit for location.

SA Death 1890 STEVENS Stephen dist Yankalilla Book 189 p.134

I can't find a notice in Trove for Stephen.

SA Death 1861 STEVENS Emma dist Yankalilla Book 13 p.222

SA Death 1885 STEVENS Louisa dist Yankalilla Book 144 p.25

South Australian Weekly Chronicle (Adelaide, SA : 1881 - 1889) Sat 7 Feb 1885 Page 4

STEVENS. — On the 28th January, at her residence,
Bald Hills, Yankalilla, Louisa, the beloved wife of
Stephen Stevens, of paralysis, after a lingering illness

Well that death for Louisa certainly fits age wise
