Elizabeth Stonier 1813

[Zen Rabbit]

Can anyone find me a birth for Elizabeth. She was born in Stafford and married William Stanton in 1834, before civic record began so unfortunately her parents are not listed on the Parish record.

I should mention that I have the census records which give the year of birth about 1813 but i am trying to find her parents

If this is your Elizabeth on the 1881 census (LDS)

Chas. KIMBER, Head, 49 Colinbrook, Buckingham, Parochial Officer
Mary A. KIMBER, Wife, 38, Hartham, Surrey
Elizabeth MAGEE, Boarder, U, 23, Clerkenwell, Middlesex, Machinist Sewing
Thomas HUGHES, Lodger, U, 32, Trynant, Monmouth, Commercial Clerk
Elizabeth STAINTON, Lodger, W, 70, Longor, Stafford, Annuitant
Elizabeth STAINTON, Dau, U, 47, Oldham, Lancashire, Housekeeper

66 Culford Road, London, Middlesex
RG11 0293 / 110 / 22

This Eliza appears to match Richards find as Longor (s/be Longnor) is close to Norton on the Moor just North of Stoke.
However if her birthplace was Stafford, then that town is a long way from Norton on the Moor.
The question is 'when you say born Stafford, do you mean Staffordshire'

Thanks Raffaele but it is Stafford not Norton. In 1881 she is named Moore, having re-married following the death of William in 1852. In 1841 William and Elizabeth Stanton are living in the Castlechurch parish of Stafford.

I should also thank Richard for his efforts but it is not her.

Which Moore did she marry? Have you found a marriage?

[Raffaele]

Just one to consider from FreeReg

Staffordshire, Alton, St Peter
BaptismDate 28 Apr 1811
Forename Eliza
Mother Charlotte STONIER
Notes Illegitimate
FileNumber 11074

Alton is not that far from Stafford.

Father's name on the marriage above has to be wrong as Stanton was her 1st marriage name.

Sorry Raffaele, went back to edit twice and add a comment to post #7 but my editing time ran out. I know that the 1863 marriage between Joseph Moore and Elizabeth Stanton has the father's name as Stanton rather than Stonier. It's just her age is correct and I still can't help wondering if a mistake was made. Whether the bride and groom were married before isn't stated on the transcription. Hmm! I think I'll look in the 1861 census for an unmarried Elizabeth Stanton.

Can rule out the other potential Stanton/Moor(e) marriage...

... since this Eliza Stanton married Charles Benge.
