I am trying to follow my tree, specifically the ‘Stevens’ line.

Intriguingly, my father (who I never met and know very little about used both the surnames ‘Stevens’ and ‘Wilson’. Indeed both are shown on his marriage certificate and both are in the Church records. From those records it appears that he was married twice on the same day to my mother. Kathleen Mary Stevens (née Smith) born in 1912 in Canada.

My father’s birth certificate has no father shown and his mother is given as ‘Nellie Edith Stevens’.

I can find no record of her. I’ve tried the censuses and various genealogy sites, with no success.

Where do I go from here please?
