I've found Thomas STONHILL and family at the King's Head, Stewkley on the 1851 census. They were also there in 1871 and his widow, Mary STONHILL is at the same address in 1881. BUT where are they in 1861?
Does the Kings Head still exist in Stewkley?

Hi Pat
Could this be the family
TAKEN FROM 1864 POST OFFICE DIRECTORY FOR
LEIGHTON BUZZARD
Nathanial Stonhill maltster of North Street
also of The Bull ph High Street.
Take alook at Leighton-Linslade.com as there are others.
I think the Kings Head is now a private house but hubby says he thinks the wording is still there (will have to take the kids for a drive)

Wow, Thanks for that - that's great!
I tried looking through Stewkley myself and failed miserably so thank you for your time.
By using the reference you gave I see that they are indexed under STONKILL.
I'm also interested in the Nathaniel STONHILL at the Bull, especially as Thomas's eldest child was called Nathaniel - there seems to be a connection.
Thanks to you both for your help.
Pat

Hi Pat
Went to Stewkley today only one pub left in the village and thats the Swan. The Kings Head is now a private house called Kings Head House (no surprise). We took a walk to the church but with two small people in tow it was not easy to look around the graves.We will be going back as my older child wants to take flowers to his grt grandparents .( his only 5 but I thought Id get him interested early )

Hi Tazzie,
Thank you so much for finding the house for me - The STONHILL family were living there for such a long time that I'm glad it's still there - even if no longer a Pub.
Congratulations for instilling an interest in family history into your 5 year old! I hope it lasts.
Thanks again.
Pat

Hi Tazzie,
There were other members of the STONHILL family in Stewkley. One was an Blacksmith and one a Wheelwright - their premises might easily have been converted into a garage at a later date.
Thank you for your continued interest. If you have any research in the Weston-super-Mare area I'd be happy to reciprocate.
Pat

Hi Pat & Tazzie
(My first time here !)
I am very interested in the STONHILL's from the King's Head.
Thomas & Mary Stonhill's son - Richard Hedges STONHILL - married my Great Grand Aunt Rosa Matilda DICKSON, (dau of William Gibson DICKSON & Elizabeth SNATT), 1884.
1901 Census has Richard & Rosa, their children, and Richard's mother Mary, all at the King's Head :
Address "Kings Head Inn", High Street, Stewkley
Richard STONHILL, 44, 1857, born Bucks Stewkley, Innkeeper & Coach Builder
Rosa STONHILL, 40, 1861, born Herts Hitchin
Violet STONHILL, 15, 1886, born Bucks Stewkley, Dressmakers Apprentice
Cicily STONHILL, 13, 1888, born Bucks Stewkley
Beatrice STONHILL, 7, 1894, born Bucks Stewkley
Laurence STONHILL 3, 1898, born Bucks Stewkley
Mary STONHILL, 79, 1822, born Bucks Stewkley
I have been told that "Laurence owned the garage and petrol pumps in Stewkley, he married Eva, they had a son George who married Margaret, George emigrated to America".
"George & Margaret met at Beverley University". "Laurence's sister Cicely lived in a cottage opposite the garage".
Please can you help with anything about this family, the garage, and more about the Beverley University ?
Rosa's parents and younger siblings came to NZ July 1877 and settled at Halcombe.
Thankyou, Trich

Good to make contact with you.
Tazzie has the local knowledge and I have been researching the STONHILL family.
Richard Hedges STONHILL was one of 10 children of Thomas STONHILL and Mary HEDGES (on 1871 census her brother, Rev George HEDGES, was staying with them at the King's Head).
My connection with this family is through another of Thomas & Mary's children, Eleanor Mary, who married Robert VINCENT and is the great grandmother of one of my cousins.
Although there were STONHILLs in Stewkley back in the 18th century I am puzzled why Thomas STONHILL appears to have been born in Tadcastle, Yorkshire, in about 1821 - I've not found his parents yet - Have you any suggestions?
Pat

I am also a little lost on the birthplace of Thomas being Tadcaster, Yorkshire ... maybe that was where his mother's family lived ?
I did find a Thomas Stonhill born 18 Aug 1800, chr 07 March 1826, All Saints, Leighton Buzzard, Bedford, on the IGI.
Son of Nathaniel Stonhill and Mary ... (Batch J003603)
18/6/1863 Nathaniel Stonhill scored 2 runs in a cricket match at Stewkley Cricket Ground.
1864 Directory : Nathaniel Stonhill, maltster of North St & The Bull High St.
Then there is a Nathaniel STONHILL married Ann INGRAM (Born abt. 1781) 14 Dec 1809 at Leighton Buzzard.
They had : Nathaniel chr 17/12/1810, Ann chr 20/8/1812, Susannah chr 6/2/1814, Elizabeth chr 13/1/1816, Frederick born 25/7/1819 chr 11/4/1822, David born 9/3/1822 chr 11/4/1822.
Are these the same Nathaniel ? Did he marry twice ? Was Thomas born 1800 "Our" Thomas ?
How many Nathaniels were there all together ?
Index of the Poll for Knights of the Shire for the County of Bucks
Which began at the Town of Aylesbury, on Wednesday the 21st and ended on Friday the 30th of April, 1784. Richard Scrimpshire, Esq Sherrif.
lists : STONHILL Nathaniel Self Stewkley Cottesloe (occupier of eligible property).
Nothing like a good mystery I guess, regards, Trich

Hi Pat & Trich.
Just back from a holiday and thought I would add some more to the life of The Kings Head.
On talking to my mother in law her mothers family ran the Bull on the other side of the road but then moved to the Kings Head and ran that pub (small world!!). This would have been 1940s as she remembers going into the Bull as a small child.She also knew the name Stonhill .Any thing I can help with let me know as we live very close to the village.
Try asking at your local library for a copy of Stewkley in Camera vol 1&2.Some lovely old photos .We even found my husbands grandmother Grace Foulkes as a school girl at the village school.
Happy hunting
Tazzie

Hello. I am Laurence George Stonhill, the grandson of Richard Hedges Stonhill and the son of Laurence Richard Stonhill, born at 78 High St. N, Stewkley.My grandmotherwas Rosa Matilda,daughter of the Rev Bruce Dickson MA, vicar , and my mother Eva (Keen). I married Margaret, of the prominent Nicholls family, and we reside in Oregon. Our childrens families flourish in Oregon, Idaho and Washington States. We did meet in Beverley, which is a fine city with many antiquities (but no University). Within my memory, the Stonhill business of metalworking, blacksmithing and coachmakingwas carried out at the two premises shown in the cited Bucks Co. archive picture. WW 1 and the arrival of motor vehicles led to the declinof the business. Of RH's other children, Violet Blanche and William Nathaniel Dickson went to Rhodesia. Beatrice was the family historian,and compiler of oral tradition.
