Ali, Thanks for your suggestions
1881 could just be Stanlacy, perhaps an abbreviation for, or misheard,  Stanton Lacy
1871 could  be Heatonsbent (definitely all one word)
You may be right, will have to find out where they are exactly.
Any ideas for Aderstesh?
Margaret

hello
a bit of a long shot:

The Alders is about 3miles west of Hayton's Bent,by the B364 and Ledwyche Brook.

1911 census - The lady gives her place of birth as Shropshire, Stanlacie.

She is now the head of household, my 2G grandfather having died in 1900, so she wrote the name herself.

Any one know if that is the way Stanton Lacy is pronounced locally?

Thanks for all your suggestions,
Margaret
