Notes:

From Nick Stedman (Nov 2006):

"Silas got his name from his uncle on the Martin side of the family (Elizabeth's eldest brother). He married Charlotte Stilwell of Eltham, Kent. They had 7 daughters and 2 sons all born in Eltham. Silas was reportedly a Chemist and Surgeon. His eldest son Silas Stilwell, married Harriet Stedman (his cousin) and became a Surgeon in Arundel, Sussex. Their eldest son, Silas James, matriculated from Queens College, Oxford in 1865 and became a doctor. He then disappears from the records. There is an odd record in The New Zealander of a daughter born to a Silas Stedman MD in 1860 in Auckland but the dates mismatch. There is no trace of James William, the second son of Silas and Charlotte."

From: "Allie Stedman"
Subject: Stedman family history

Dear John,
I was recently googling my grandfather Silas Stedman when I came across your letter - I'm not sure if you have resolved your question, yet but I thought I should email you to let you know that Silas Stilwell Stedman was my great-great grandfather (I think that's the right number of greats!) and Harriet Stedman obviously my great-great grandmother. They both came out to New Zealand in 1860 and Silas Stilwell Stedman was the first surgeon at Christchurch Hospital by 1862. I am unfortunately temporarily living overseas at the moment so I don't have the facts close to hand, but I am pretty sure they both died of a fever while he was attending patients in the countryside, and we have a lot more information on them at home. I don't know if we have any information on Harriet's parentage, but when I am home (in December) I could look up the deaths records at the public library in Christchurch, as I have seen both hers and Silas' there, I think. I could also email my father or uncles to ask any questions, if you want to ask any. I would be very pleased to pass on more information about the New Zealand wing of the Stedman family, as it has been very exciting to find yours and others' information on the internet.

Please let me know if you have any questions,
Alison Stedman.
