William Stephenson (senior)
William Stephenson (senior) (1763–1836) was a Geordie (from Gateshead) watchmaker, schoolteacher, poet and songwriter, and father of William Stephenson (junior). His best known works are probably “The Quayside Shaver” and “The Skipper’s Wedding”
== Early life ==
William Stephenson (senior) was born in Gateshead on 28 June 1763 and was one of the earliest of the Tyneside songwriters.
He became an apprentice with James Atkinson, clock and watchmaker, of Gateshead and continued working there afterwards until a severe accident disabled him. After a long time out of work, and a lengthy spell in the country to recuperate, he decided to change his trade. Being an educated man and something of a literary scholar, he opened a school on the Church Stairs, Gateshead and became a schoolmaster. In this he had great success and continued for the greater part of his life.
William Stephenson died in Gateshead on the 12 August 1836, aged 73.
