STANTON Family of Herts.
« on: Monday 04 February 08 13:06 GMT (UK) »

I know this is a long shot but I am trying to find some info of the family of
Elizabeth Stanton born about 1911 to 1915 in Hinksworth. Her father was
Arthur Stanton who tragically died under a trains wheels at Shephards Bush 
tube station at the age of about 72.
Can anyone help?

Hello Barbara

I must apologize for an omission. I t now transpires that Arthur Stanton
married a Bird, I mean that as a surname not a slang reference. Is there
anything out there involving this new info?

Thank you for that. At last we seem to be on the right track.
Apparently there was a Mabel and Winifred on either the Bird or
Stanton side.

The following births look relevant, given that the marriage was in Royston:

Annie E Stanton    (mother nee Bird)    Dec 1913   Royston
Elsie L Stanton      (mother nee Bird)    Mar 1921   Royston

The mother's maiden name was not given before 1911, but these may be relevant:

George Albert Stanton    Mar 1902   Royston
Albert Reginald Stanton  Dec 1907   Royston
Winifred Stanton    Mar 1910   Royston

..and this oddity:

George S Stanton  (mother nee Wiliamson)   Sep 1911   Royston (could be a mistake as Williamson is Violet's middle name)


Other entries:

Birth:  Violet Williamson Bird   Dec 1878    Biggleswade


I can't find Elizabeth's birth 1911 - 1915. There is an entry for an Elizabeth Rose Bird in Biggleswade in 1902. There is also this, which could have the Bird repeated by mistake:

Elizabeth E Bird    (mother's maiden name Bird)    Dec 1913   Royston

Thank you very much. This is indeed looking promising. I will have to try and see
if this lot jogs any memories. The question then becomes is this Arthur Stanton
the same one with a mother named Ann Matilda Thompson!

Hello

I was researching the Stantons of Hinxworth a couple of months ago, although mine lived there in the 1700s.  Having had a quick look on the IGI and 1881 census, I think you're probably connected to the same family by one of two ways - there were cousins of a similar age called William Stanton and I can't tell which is yours, although his marriage certificate of 1842 would settle that.

The 1881 and 1891 censuses already referred to in earlier responses point to Albert Stanton being born about 1853:
ch. 21 Aug 1853, Albert son of William & Sarah Stanton
which suggests this marriage:
m. 24 Jul 1842, William Stanton & Sarah Humberstone
and this family living in Hinxworth on the 1881 census:
William Stanton, Head, 60, Hinxworth, Farm labourer
Sarah Stanton, Wife, 59, Hinxworth
Amelia Stanton, Dau, 16, Hinxworth

Looking then for William's christening finds two likely candidates:
ch. 15 Oct 1820, William son of Edmund & Patty Stanton
ch. 23 Jul 1820, William son of Francis & Sarah Stanton
At this stage I'm pretty sure of a connection, as all the male Stantons I researched seemed to be called either Edmund or Francis.  These two Williams were probably cousins - their fathers were both sons of Francis Stanton:
ch. 1795, Edmund son of Francis & Elizabeth Stanton
ch. 7 Jan 1798, Francis son of Francis Stanton (mother not named)

These probably point to this marriage:
m. 21 Sep 1791, Francis Staunton & Elizabeth Omant

which points to this christening:
ch. 9 Apr 1769, Francis son of Francis & Elizabeth Stanton

which points to this marriage:
m. 4 Dec 1760, Francis Stanton & Elizabeth Blee

which points to this christening:
ch. 26 Jun 1737, Francis son of Edmund & Alice Stanton

At which point I shout Eureka (but quietly because I'm on my lunch break in the office) because Edmund Stanton (1708-1781) was my wife's ancestor.  I went to Hertfordshire Archives last month and obtained a copy of his will, which I've transcribed and put on Your Archives:
http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Will_of_Edmund_Stanton_of_Hinxworth%2C_Herts._proved_6_Feb_1781

You'll see that Edmund left a number of properties in Hinxworth and Bassingbourn, including one left to his son Francis.  From the description of the house left to Francis and poring over old maps, I'm reasonably confident that the house left to Francis is still there and called Cammocks - certainly it backed onto an orchard with a pond in it, had a three acre field behind it and is hidden from the road (now called Chapel Street) by a large barn.  Between the house and barn was a yard with outbuildings down one side, which could well have been 'shops' in the sense of workshops (Edmund was a carpenter).  Also, looking at plans of Cammocks held at North Herts District Council there was a workshop along that side of the yard until the 1980s when the house was extended with a two storey extension across the site of the workshop.

There are photographs of both Cammocks and its barn on www.imagesofengland.org.uk - just search for 'Cammocks'.

Hope that's of interest to you.
Regards
Richard.

Quick follow up - I've just noticed Bury End also has a photo on www.imagesofengland.org.uk - search either for 'Bury End' or 'Hinxworth' and you should get there.  Very attractive little thatched cottage.  It's slightly out of the village on the road towards Ashwell.

Thank you for that. My father-in-law(son of the Elizabeth Stanton first mentioned) who had doubts about being
able to take this too far back, will be amazed!
Hope you enjoyed your lunch.
