  GENUKI/Devon: Devonport Borough 1850
Devonport is in the parish of Stoke Damerel, and owes its origin as a town to the foundation of the Naval Dockyard, in the reign of William III., about 1690.
Devonport Mechanics' Institute was established in 1825, and had so prospered in 1843, that it erected a handsome building in Duke street, at the cost of about £1400; to which it added a larger building in 1849, at the cost of nearly £2500.
Devonport and Stonehouse General Dispensary, and Institution for Diseases of the Eye and Ear, was established in 1815, when a building was erected for its use in Chapel St., at the cost of £800, of which £100 was the gift of Ann Spearing.

 Walkabout - Devonport
No one is exactly sure how Devonport got its name although it is obvious that the origins must be associated with the County of Devon in southern England.
One school of thought argues, without any strong evidence, that Devonport was named, with a nice sense of nostalgia for the 'old country', after the coastal town of Devonport in the county of Devon.
The town of Devonport came into being on 11 February 1890 when two smaller townships - Formby on the west side of the Mersey River (it had been laid out in 1853) and Torquay on the east bank (established 1851) - amalgamated.

At Devonport, Plymouth, Devon is located the large naval dockyard and it was here that Stephen snr moved to live with his family sometime following his promotion in 1870.
However at this point Stephen jnr is not with the family in Devonport, nor can he be traced anywhere else in the UK in the 1881 census so it is assumed that at some point following his father’s death in 1876 he was taken by a relative to America.
