"Things are not always meant to go right; they are meant to wrong; thus do we learn."
Peter K Sharpen


This page is dedicated to William Thomas Stead (1849 - 1912)

There has been much written by him and about him, especially as to his career.

My main concern is with the family Stead as I am part of it (Page 3) but I have also included (Page 4) a timeline relating to his career.

The reason that I am publishing this page is to herald his great work, to acquire further data on this great man and to help others searching. As Stead was a famous (some would say 'infamous'!) journalist up to his death in the Titanic on his way to a peace conference in America, I am sure that he would appreciate his page on the World Wide Web keeping free-speech alive.

If you would like to contribute to this page or if there is information you require, then please e-mail me, I will try to help.


Researchers, Please Note:

I am receiving increasing numbers of e-mails from folks wishing to find out specific information about Stead. Please follow ALL the links to other pages to find out if it is available. This will save us all time and expense. Young students (Age 0 -100+), bless you, should make notes of items of interest and then ask questions.

Due to a growing number of requests about WT Stead as a possible relative and for my purpose of finding out where I come into the picture, I would be grateful for the following information, which MUST be given on a voluntary basis (the more, the better).

These details are required for each person mentioned as far as possible and where relevant.

There must be a starting point.
