** COMPLETED **STAIRMAND and DENISON

[karenlee]

Hi

Trying to find mother and siblings of Henry STAIRMAND, who married Frances DENISON, June 16th 1852 in Bedale.  I know his father was John STAIRMAND, a gardener, but that is the extent of my information regarding this person.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Karenlee

Hi Oly

Many thanks for the information on the STAIRMAND family in 1861.  I will do some hunting and see if I can make a solid connection with what I know.

Cheers

John Stairman 34  Catterick,  Head  Gardener
Jane Stairman 33  Wetherby,  Wife  Catterick, 
Johnson Stairman 3  Galloway, Scotland Son 
Henry Stairman 26  Lodger  Journeyman gardener

This is the only Henry I could find - can't think why they would be over in Gomersal and he is listed as lodger so I'm not sure its the right people, but being as theres a John and he's a gardener I thought it was worth letting you know.  Though it would appear that this John and Henry are brothers.

Anyway hope it helps

Hi again
Think this is probably their Dad, though unfortunately he's a widower.

Hi Susan


Many thanks for both those leads.  I am going to start checking up on them straight away.  I do know that my Henry's eldest son was John Thomas, and his eldest daughter was Ann.  So that makes your second suggestion pretty useful.  It appears that STAIRMAND, and it's many variations, was a fairly common name in that part of Yorkshire and in Durham as well. Still, it's not as bad as GREEN or SMITH.

Cheers
Karen

Hi Margrette

Many thanks for this information... since 2006 I have got a fair bit of it sorted... my husband is from Oliver WILLIAMS and Frances STAIRMAND.

I can tell you that John William STAIRMAND married Mary JACKSON in Washingley Huntingdonshire.  I have details of their children as well if you would like me to post that for you.

When you have 3 posts here then I can send you a personal message with my email address if you would like it.

Cheers
Karenlee

Dear Karenlee,
Thanks for the information. I have just signed up & am still feeling my way around here.
The husbands side of the Stairmands are from New Zealand,so they were pretty well spread around,and good reproducers.

That would be great [ email ] , what else wold you like to know??
