I contacted the FOD site originally to see if I could find out if the Thomas Stephens, seaman born 1831 Mitcheldean was in any way related to my grandfather (maybe an uncle or such) I didn't think that he was his father.
I obtained the info re seaman Thomas Stephens on the Find My Past site, and noticed the Mitcheldean connection. I am guessing that you are on the Ancestry site- what is your connection to the Stephens family? I would love to know.
