Some Famous People called Charles Stevens
Charles Isaac Stevens
Charles Isaac Stevens (1835–1917) was the second patriarch of the Ancient British Church from 1889 to 1917 and also was primus of the Free Protestant Episcopal Church of England from 1900 to 1917.
He was born on 28 November 1835 at Clerkenwell, London, to Isaac Thomas and Anna (née Morgan) Stevens and was baptised at the Parish Church of St Luke, London, on 5 June 1836. Stevens was a Reformed Episcopal Church of England presbyter until the year 1879.
He was consecrated on 6 March 1879 by Richard Williams Morgan.
According to the Anglican Free Communion, Order of Corporate Reunion (OCR) bishops assisted Morgan at the 6 March 1879 consecration. This is disputed, however, by Henry Brandreth who (writing in 1947) considered that "it is very unlikely, however, that any of the bishops performed a consecration" of Stevens.

Charles James Stevens (1823 – 18 November 1883) was an English-born Australian politician.
He was born in Kent, the son of an Anglican clergyman. He migrated to New South Wales around 1863 and worked as a mine manager at Newcastle. In 1874 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Northumberland. He left the colony on an expedition to recover valuable property, including 2,576 ounces of gold, from the General Grant, which wrecked off Auckland Island in 1866. As he hadn't returned, in June 1877 he was declared insolvent, and his seat in parliament was declared vacant.
Stevens died at Newcastle in 1883 (aged 60).
