Interestingly, a Robert A. Stephenson was said to have been born in 1850, in NB, to a James William Stephenson and a Matilda Whitlock. The only reason this trio offers secondary potential is the "A" in Robert's middle initial... COULD it have bee n Averd or Avard? Though this Robert A. could be Robert Alexander, b. possibly in 1851, in Ontario, died 1916, father was William J Stephenson... mmm... James William/William J.... makes one wonder, eh?

1910 US Census for Somerville, Middlesex, Massachusetts:

All listed as arriving in US in 1902.

Bothers me that Avard is listed as single, vice widowed. Hoping this is not one of those wild goose chases.
