Stevenson's name is not appearing when i search on Scotlands poeple so unless its a spellign difference, maybe he was in Northern Ireland or elsewhere.

[Martyn A Critchlow]

STEVENSON is shown on his grave as 'died suddenly at Limavady Ireland' on his grave stone at the this Scottish War Graves website.
