His father, [[George Stephenson]], an acquaintance of the [[Sixth Doctor]], was also a renowned British engineer, but the elder Stephenson was dead by [[1851]], when ''[[Other Lives (audio story)|Other Lives]]'' takes place. Only a surname is mentioned and the story does not draw a connection between the two men.
