I am trying to find a marriage for Charles Gilson Staniforth rumour has it he married in the Channel Islands - his relative Cawton Staniforth reputedly lived on the Islands. I think it would have been early 1900's
-
Hi
Do you mean Charles Gibson Staniforth b 1877 and Cawton Staniforth b 1871 - both in Yorkshire
-
The 1911 index shows him living in Sheffield with wife and children
-
Charles was married in 1905, and both of his daughters named on the 1911 census were born in Sheffield, as was his wife?
-
Yes he is from Sheffield - trying to find details of his marriage. Can you give more info on the 1905 marriage.
He is Gilson not Gibson as far as I am aware
-
Have you viewed the 1911 entry? I can't see a marriage on freebmd so you may have to buy a copy of one of their childrens birth certs to get his wife's maiden name
If you check freebmd - his birth was registered as Charles Gibson Staniforth and that name is also on the GRO index
-
He is definitely Gilson - its the mothers maiden name. I have his wifes maiden name Blanche Thornley the question is did they marry in the Channel Islands as we have found nothing from the records here.
-
his relative Cawton Staniforth
The 1871 Cawton Staniforth died in 1871. That is the only Cawton Staniforth birth on freebmd
There is no Cawton Staniforth on any Channel Island census or any British one
-
Have a found that Charles and Blanche could have married in Malta - so the trail moves off Jersey - thank you all for your help.
-
When and where was Cawton Staniforth born?
Where was he living in 1901 and 1911?

Cawton was born c 1835 Sheffield

Samuel Staniforth 1

With Mother Elizabeth, a Grocer, 1841/1861 (where he is under Cawthorne)
No one with Trees seems to have bought a Childs B/C to establish Elizabeths maiden name.
This is how I think it goes;
