I found a cutting from the Coventry Evening Telegraph dated 4 September 1980 which mentions a Mr Stean a teacher at South Street School Coventry 1907-8 who taught pupils to play the violin during his lunch breaks. Unfortunately the article does not give a forename or even an initial for Mr Stean. Can anyone help to identify him please, maybe he was your ancestor or taught a relative to play the violin. Thank you.

I know nothing about this chap but he crops up on a branch of one of my family trees. In 1906 Fred Steane married Edith Sephton Barber, a member of the Sephton boatbuilding/pub family. Her mother Caroline Barber (nee Sephton) ran the Victoria Temperance Hotel at 25 Warwick Row, Coventry. Ancestry probate records show they both died in Portsmouth in the 1960s. STEANE Edith Sephton of 25 Lodge Avenue East Cosham Portsmouth (wife of Fred Steane) died 13 October 1962 Probate Winchester 10 December [1962] to Phyllis Steane spinster. Effects £16942 14s. STEANE Fred of 25 Lodge Avenue East Cosham Portsmouth died 2 June 1964 at Queen Alexandra Hospital Cosham Probate Winchester 17 August [1964] to Phyllis Steane spinster. £2905.

I have a print-out of him and his family from the 1891 census, but don't seem to be able to put it onto here.

Was the census downloaded as a "TIF" image file? I know a lot of censuses are, and at the moment I've not catered for those file-types for uploading images to the forum - only GIF, PNG & JPG. If you have some way of converting your census to, say, a JPG file (making a screen-grab would be one way), then it should upload OK. If it appears that TIFs are required regularly, then I'll see if I can re-code the uploading script to allow for them. Thumbs up
