All options are open since the final proof is still missing.
I believe it´s the same family.
Stevenson was a very rare name in Norway, only 8 persons with that name lived here in 1865, all belonged to the same family in Trondheim and 9 persons in 1900, two from the Trondheim family lived in Oslo and 7 in Trondheim.
That three William Stevenson lived her in the late 1800s without beeing in family with each other sounds strange to me.

Perhaps this gentleman can shed some light on your search. It appears he is researching the same family.
The Maxwell GenealogyForum
Title: Mary Ann Maxwell
Posted by: Hans Jacob Brinchmann
Date: 03 January 2008
I am searching for information on my great great grandmother Mary Ann Maxwell born 1826 (according to Norwegian census 1865) or born 1827 in Togstan = Togston? (according to census 1875)or born 1824 (according to census 1900). She was born either in Scotland or England. She married William Anthony Stevenson, born 1821 in Philadelphia near Durham, England. They both left England ("he came to Norway with his Scottish wife")and they lived and died in Norway, where he was hired to participate in establishing the first railway in Norway, the Christiania-Eidsvold railway. Later they lived in Trondheim where he was "locomotive master". Any information about Mary Ann Maxwell and her parents and siblings will be very welcome! Also when and where she and William Anthony married.
Thanks and regards Hans Jacob Brinchmann, hahacbr@online.no

I queried Hans Jacob Brinchmann by e-mail using Ola's main information about his father and received this reply.
Dear Anton
My grandmothers grandfather was William Anthony Stevenson, born 1821 in Philadelphia nor Durham, England. He died 17 jul 1881 in Trondheim Norway. He was married to Mary Ann Maxwell, born 1824 or 1826 in Scotland. I have no more information on her – there are too many Mary Ann Maxwells! William Anthony came to Norway as railway engineer/”locomotive master” and participated in establishing the first railway in the nothern Norway. William and Mary Ann had 8 children, 6 sons and 2 daughters. The eldest son, Nicholas (Nicles), born 18 Oct 1850, was married to Hanna Margrehte Antonisen and they had 3 daughters, of whom the eldest, Nicoline Florence Mathilde was the mother of my father.
William Anthony and Mary Ann’s third son was William (Anthony). According to the census 1875 for Trondheim he was born 1858 and worked at a sawmill at Singsaas, near Trondheim. He was married to Julia (last name unknown). In the UK census 1881 he works as “donkey boiler” and lives in Kingston-upon-Hull. A William Franky Stevenson (1896-1970) in Trondheim may be his son.
I have no knowledge of other persons named William Stevenson in Norway. Could William Fraser Stevenson be the son of one of the other brothers of Nicholas: Charles Randolf Randal, born 1854 in Newcastle, or John Philip, born 1861 in Trondheim, or Alfred Oscar, born 1863 in Trondheim, or Halvor Henry Gustav, born 14 June 1866 in Trondheim?
Best regards
Hans Jacob Brinchmann
Thus we still do not have a way to connect William Fraser Stevenson and wife Gwendolin Olga Watson (Matson) to the William Stevenson train engineer. |

| A family tree can be found for John Philip Stevenson born abt 1860 in Norway on Ancestry.com. It shows him married to a Mary Hatcliffe, living in England and with five children born between 1887 and 1895 and all born in England. None of them are named William or William Fraser. The two males are George William and John. The family tree sources the 1891 and 1901 UK Census. |

Hi,
Guess there could be 2 of similar name. But take a look at the baptism, there is a note that he has taken the name "Stivenson". His father's given name is Gustav Anton Gustavson. Lots of little notes, apparently family went to America. Not sure what the note with date of 911 (1911?) not sure what's going on with this.

Oh my! What have I started?!! *grin*
Many, many thanks to all of you who are helping me with this project. I salute you all!
Unfortunately, due to various renovations over the years and moving things about the house, I have not yet been able to locate the only records I have (birth and marriage certificates of my mother). However, I am still looking; please bear with me? :)
Cheers,
Ola

Hi,
This appears to be Gustav Anton Gustfavson aka Gustave A Stevenson in 1910 at HeritageQuest.
STEVENSON GUSTAVE A 38 M W NORW NY KINGS 8-WD BROOKLYN 1910
Lena is the name of the wife and it says she has had 1 child, none living, married 14 years. So it appears that William Franky Stevenson may be gone if this Lena = Bertha, mother of William Franky.
O well...
