	Very interesting snippet from the Kentish Gazette-if Stephen had a bit of a temper that may be why Walter didn't name a son for him!! The wrongly transcribed 1861 census just shows how easily the name could be distorted. Am now waiting to see if any of the Tree owners I've contacted will reply! Good night all.
