98 hits for Staynes in the Singapore NLB newspapers database. It looks like he was a magistrate in Malaya.

"Mary Alice Staynes widow " was perhaps more likely his mother

You could perhaps contact the owners of the public trees that include this family on Ancestry.

Or search for matches on GenesReunited.
