Where did Timothy originate?

[Coco pops]

Hi Heywood,

       Yes

[heywood]

I am asking because I am trying to help and wondered if they too were Irish and did any of them give place of origin in the censuses. I had only looked at Sabina in the censuses in her married state to Timothy.
It's just that on Ancestry the Stantons don't come up in 1851 - nor any soundex search for Sabina Stanton.  I was trying to link Naughton and Stanton through Griffiths but as both names are to be found around Ireland it is quite difficult. Stanton/Staunton and Naughton are to be found in Mayo where quite a number of Northwich Irish orginated from by the looks of the census and in my mind that's what I was looking for.
Your one word reply implies that you are finding this a bit intrusive and I don't want to pry or that you are exasperated - you're not alone.

Hi Heywood,

    No, I'm not finding anything intrusive---  the more ideas the merrier. Sabina and her mother are on the 1851 census, but again the place of birth is only Ireland. The trouble with the Naughton name is that it is spelt in various ways on all the census forms ---  Knocton; Nocton; Norton and Naughton. In fact, my G.Grandfather lists it as Norton on his marriage certificate, but on subsequent census forms, it appears as Naughton!!  What a conundrum.

Yes I have found the Naughtons plus aliases but it is the Stantons who are not turning up!
However if they too do not show anything but Ireland then we are stumped.

Hi Heywood,

    Thanks for trying. I don't think Sabina and her mother appear on the 1841 census-- can't remember whether or not I have looked. All the dates begin to meld into one another after a few years!! I have noticed that the spelling for Sabina's mother, when PRINTED on the printer-friendly version, is NOT what appears on the actual form!! On the original, it it is quite clear that her name is Sicely, and NOT Sicelt as printed. No wonder people can be hard to find!!

Not wanting to confuse the issue, but Naughton, pronounced "Nockton", is also in the Galway area, there is also the surname Staunton ,. Bodger

Thanks Bodger,

      I had thought of Staunton, simply because there is a town in Virginia which is spelt STAUNTON, but is pronounced STANTON. Don't you just love these mysteries?!

[heywood]

yes  Bodger and they have people around them I think from Galway and Mayo and others I suppose. However I am glad to say that at long last I have found the Stantons in 1851, having previously searched and searched.  Thanks to Cocopops - I looked for Sicely instead of Sicelt and got the Hantons. They are with several Costellos.
I was going for Mayo and Staunton because of the Sports shops there and it seemed as good a guess as any! Plus my dad was a Mayoman 

[heywood]

would you ever believe that even the Costellos don't admit to a county- just Ireland in all the censuses.
Can't find Sicely  after 1851 and through all censuses most Stantons in Cheshire also are just Ireland. The ones that do name their place of birth are perhaps mainly Mayo so that's the favourite but sadly without other info. it looks as though you're stuck.
Clutching at straws, if you had Mr Stanton's name from marriage cert. - you could perhaps go: Griffiths Valuation/ Parish records/ marriage of ? and Sicely/ baptism of Sabina but to get that info from early parish records would also be a task.
