Notes From Elsewhere

Edward Thomas Stevens (1828–1878) was a partner in a Salisbury drapers business. He was also an antiquarian and became the first Honorary Director of the Salisbury and Blackmore Museums.
Brother in law of William Henry Blackmore
The Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum moved to St Ann Street in 1864. The Blackmore Museum opened next door three years later, based on the collections of William Blackmore, a Salisbury business man with links to North America and brother to local antiquary Dr Humphrey Blackmore. He acquired the Squier and Davis collection of archaeological finds from Ohio and created a museum to display it. Antiquary Edward Stevens was the first honorary Curator and Director of both museums
