The posts on Stadlebauer are rather old, but this may be of interest. My father worked for Stadlebauer from about 1920 until the war (1939). He was their representative in Central America and the company was importing cotton. Henry Stadlebauer was from Germany and he married Emily Leigh Prestwich who would have been my great grandaunt.
At the time of the first world war, when having a German name could have been embarrassing, the family changed their name to Prestwich.
Regrettably I am not in touch with any of my Prestwich relatives from this family.
I can provide more information (but not much more) should this still be of interest.
