Researching RICHARD STANNING aka STANDING aka STANLEY, (maybe went by other similar spellings) whom I now believe was born in Rackenford, Devon abt 1804.
Good possibility that his father might have been 'SAMUEL' & his mother 'MARY' as these were the names of his first son and daughter.
As he left the area and was in Leicester by 1824, it may be that his family/siblings remained in Rackenford, and were still there for 1841 Census. He was a woolsorter/comber.
Any help in locating his baptism and parents names etc., much appreciated.
thank you in anticipation MC
