Warwickshire / Re: STANLEY family + Coventry early 1800's
« on: Wednesday 21 July 04 04:13 BST (UK)  »
My William Stanley came to Australia (I dont know how) in 1837 and married at Parramatta. All the Stanleys down the line have all stayed in NSW as far as I know. I cant seem to get past him tho. I've enquired about birth records but cant find anything. In a book called "Australian Biographies" he is listed as coming to Aust in 1837, but no-one, not even his wives or children seem to know his exact birth date or his parents names.

Hi Cougar,

I am also in Australia, researching the Stanley family.
Any chance any of your Stanleys made there way here. I am looking for William Stanley, Professor of Music, born Windsor/Berkshire 1820.

Thank you for your quick reply. My problem is that he was born before 1837 (1820). I didnt think they had records before 1837 on that site.

I am looking for birth/sibling/parents details for William (Henry - middle name not often used) STANLEY. I have information that he was born Windsor (Windsor Castle) in 1820. He came to Australia in 1837 (i dont know how) and played at the opening of the Royal Victoria Theatre NSW that same year. His occupation is listed as Professor of Music. (at 17????). He was also in the army for 5 years at some stage. As enlistment was not happening in the colony till well after 1837 could he have joined at age 17 in the UK?

Any ideas on how I can get information on this and how I could verify birth if I dont know his parents or siblings names?

Hope someone can help.

I am hoping you may be able to help me, I am stuck looking for information on:

William Stanley (middle name not often used "Henry")
born Windsor Castle, Berkshire 1820, apparently joined military for 5 years and came to Australia in 1837. I presume he joined in UK at 17 as they were not enlisting in the colony at that stage. He is known to be a renowned published professor of music and married Susannah New in NSW Australia. I dont know his parents names of any siblings. Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you in advance
Di.
