Lots of Stantons from Walsall & West Brom

[Zen Rabbit]

While looking for my Stanton ancestors I came across a whole batch of records relating to the Stantons of the West Midlands. If anyone has family ties in this area I have family trees drawn up in 1815 - 1850 and dating back to 1574. If you think this might be your family drop me a line.

Hi, whereabouts in the West Midlands are these Stantons? I have links to Stantons from Northamptonshire, if that might be of any use?

[Zen Rabbit]

Mostly Walsall, West Bromwich, Birmingham, Oldbury, Wolverhampton areas. The family line goes back to Hallesowen with henry Stanton in 1560

[SnowyJen]

My Gt Gt grandmother Sarah ann Stanton b.1846 Walsall
her parents were:
Isaac Stanton b. 1821 West Bromwich
and Catherine Bayliss
Isaac Stantons parents were:
Thomas Stanton b. 1804 Walsall
and Mary Haines
Thomas Stantons father was Thomas Stanton b,1779 West Bromwich
his parents were:
William Stanton b. 1748 of Warwickshire died 1833 and Sarah Braddock
Any info on Williams parents e.t.c would be great


also my other branch goes back to
Richard Stanton b.1765 Walsall married Sarah Blackham
his parents were George Stanton and Mary Harper
I have no dates for George so any help with his dates or parents would be very useful.

[Zen Rabbit]

I have emailed you so I can send you the copies I have.
On the tree I have Richard Stanton who married Sarah Blackham was the son of William Stanton of Tipton who married Jane dau of Arron Whitehouse of Oldbury. He died in 1816 after spending time in debtors prison in Stafford (he is mentioned in A J Stanley's "History of Stafford gaol" as one of several prisoners requesting release in 1811)

[SnowyJen]

That's amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your find with me. I have been researching my family history for several years and I do apprieciate how hard to come by All family documents are. I can not thank you enough.
Though it sounds like i have my wires crossed with Richard then.
I got details from Walsall records for st matthew.

William and Richard Stanton Twins of George and Mary




RICHARD STANTON
Marriages:
Spouse: SARAH BLACKHAM
Marriage: 27 DEC 1780 Tipton, Stafford, England

[Zen Rabbit]

Just emailed you the details. Let me know if they don't arrive.
Looking at the above I would say that Richard is definitely the son of William of Tipton
Incidently I believe that there may also be a will for William at Lichfield records offices

[SnowyJen]

Thank you for e-mailing those to me, it was very kind of you.
I agree with you, I think Richard the twin is definatly another Richard, but i have hours of fun and interest ahead of me looking for new parish records and it's so much easier when you have names places and dates to go on. thank you so much
