  Notes	Slightly awkwardly, John Thomas STEVENSON(?) marries Sarah POTTER on 20/9/1830 at the same church, and one of the witnesses is Mary CHAMBERLAIN. There is a high chance this is the same Sarah, though I do not know why the surname changes. However I am taking it that the birth name is Chamberlain, if only because there are baptisms of STEVENSON children at St Dunstan, Stepney recorded in IGI as follows: Frederick Alfred Henry, bapt 6/9/1829 Emma Sarah, bapt 22/5/1831 Robert, bapt 27/5/1832 Mary Ann, bapt 22/12/1833. Mary Ann matches a name and age from the 1851 Census.
