Hi, was wondering if you know if there's a connection between these Stanners and Helen Finlay Stanners who married John Thornton Bell in 1872 in Carriden? Her father was Walter Stanners and mother was Helen Finlay - my gt gt grandparents on the Bell side. So many Stanners!!



There's a Helen Stanners born on 22 NOV 1850  Carriden, West Lothian, Scotland  to Walter Stanners and MARGARET Finlay on LDS. The dates are about right.

Thankyou, I've found them! Have found the Bo'ness pottery website very useful as they have census records if that's of any interest to you.

Regarding Alan Gow's comment, Helen Finlay Stanners was married to John Thompson Bell, one of the founders of Carriden Band. She was my Great Grandmother through Grandfather Alexander Bell and mother Janet Grant Bell.

The story , as told by my grandfather, was that the three Stanners, Walter, Neil and Malcolm came down to Bo'ness from the Glen Moriston area in the 16-1700s.
