The fact that Lawrence is in London in 1851 suggests that St. James parish could be the one in central London and therefore he might have nothing to do with James and Martha Stanton.

Why then do you think he might be from Norfolk? St James as enumerated in Lambeth in 1851 would more likely be Westminster, or possibly Clerkenwell.

Hi

Lawrence's son Richard ended up in America. One of his descendants has a tree on Ancestry which suggests that Lawrence was from Ireland. I've looked at the census in America, two state Lawrence was from England, the other ( 1920 census) state he was from Ireland.

Possibly another avenue to pursue or if you use Ancestry maybe worth getting in touch with this person.

James Stanton miller of Suffolk left a Will in 1876, maybe if he is the father of Lawrence his grandchildren may get a mention.

Thanks Claire. The will would more than likely mention all the surviving sons and daughters. Hopefully it is held by the Suffolk record Office.

imprisoned for 9 months for assault

Knocked a defenceless man to the ground, then kicked him in the head. He and his friends left the poor chap in a very bad way.

Yes, I read the newspaper report, quite a brutal assault. He was fortunate to only get 9 months.

I seem to recall a possible workplace mentioned - a waterworks ? Wonder if Lawrence was employed by them or if any work records survive that may yield clues.

Its a bit of a stab in the dark, but could this family be connected?

1851 Middlesex, St Giles, HO107/1508/75/12
James Stanton 53 Carman b St Luke, Middx
Emma 16 Daur Scholar b St James, Middx
Sarah 23 Daur Dressmaker b St James
Matilda 18 Daur Scholar b St James
Thomas 17 Son Errrand Boy b St James

I'm struggling to find them together in 1841, particularly as the ages seem very 'out' for the description of scholar.
MORGAN: Glamorgan, Durham, Ohio. DAVIS/DAVIES/DAVID: Glamorgan, Ohio.  GIBSON: Leicestershire, Durham, North Yorkshire.  RAIN/RAINE: Cumberland.  TAYLOR: North Yorks. BOURDAS: North Yorks. JEFFREYS: Worcestershire & Northumberland. FORBES: Berwickshire, CHEESMOND: Durham/Northumberland. WINTER: Durham/Northumberland. SNOWBALL: Durham.
