STANTON Family of Herts.

[RichardK]

I imagine the Morden in question is one of the Mordens just over the border into Cambridgeshire - Steeple Morden or Guilden Morden.  Both are within the Royston registration district, so the 1850 registered birth seems quite plausible.
Regards
Richard.

I have just obtained the birth cert of Ann Matilda Thompson, born Dec 20th 1849 in Guilden Morden. Her father was William Thompson, a labourer and her mother was Betsey Waldock. Can anyone shed some light on this family.

Hi there,

I have been researching my family tree and i believe that i am descended from the Stantons in question. I have so far got the following:

Quick follow up - I've just noticed Bury End also has a photo on www.imagesofengland.org.uk - search either for 'Bury End' or 'Hinxworth' and you should get there.  Very attractive little thatched cottage.  It's slightly out of the village on the road towards Ashwell.
Regards
Richard.

For anyone interested, Bury End Cottage was the residence of the author Monica Dickens - see her autobiography 'An Open Book'.  If you can hold of a copy, there is a photgraph inside of the bookcase, which used to be a fire place before the several small cottages were combined to make the picturesque building we see today.

My son's Great Grandfather was Harry Stanton, who was born there, along with Ada, Amy, Emily & George.  He lived most of his adult life in The Cottage, High Street, shown here: http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=162227&mode=quick Next door to Horace Brooks, who lived http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=162226&mode=quick Incidentally, both properties were heavily renovated in the late 1980's, early 1990's after their former occupants died.

If I can help any further, I lived in Hinxworth myself from 1978 to 1993.

Hi Mark, 

Welcome to Rootschat 

It might be best if you post a separate look-up request for your Osgathorpe line, saying what you already know and what you'd still like to find.

You can search for births deaths and marriages free on freebmd, you can find the 1881 census for your Stantons free to view at www.familysearch.org or www.ancestry.co.uk

To fill in your Stanton gaps, here's the 1891 census for Archibald :
RG12 piece 141 folio 86 page 72
36, Girdlestone Road, Islington, London
in household of Michael Concannon, Tram Conductor
Archibald Stanton boarder s 23 Tram Conductor  Herts Hinxworth
Lilla              "       visitor    s 27                                "          "

and 1891 for Thomas:
RG12 piece 1101 folio 100 page 7
High Street, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire
Thomas Stanton head m 67 Agr. Labourer   Hinxworth
Ann          "         wife  m  64                         Ashwelle

1861 census
RG09 piece 812 folio 123 page 2   
Bury End, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire
STANTON
Thomas head m 36  Ag. Lab
Ann        wife  m 34  Ag.  "   Wife    Ashwell
Rosina    dau      10 Straw Plaiter
Clara         "         8  Scholar
Lavinnia Mary dau 5    "
Henrietta         "    3
Constantia      "     2 months twin
Abiahanna      "     2 months twin
all except Ann born Hinxworth

The 1871 census you have shows that it's not a son, Abraham aged 10, but is Abrahanna or Abiahanna, daughter, as in 1861

Kind regards
Barbara

I don't know if this helps anyone at all but from what I have found (if I'm right), Elizabeth Stanton had been a hay plater as a child, then moved from Hertfordshire to London and worked in a Hotel in the Euston (I think) area, I can find the name. She then met Michael Concannon and they had several children in Girdlestone Road in Islington, one of which was my great-grandmother Mary Ann Concannon b around 1883.  Mary Ann was a dressmaker at Girdlestone Road at 18 and then married Michael O'Keefe who was born in Ireland. They gave birth to my grandmother and her sister and they all moved back to Ireland where my father was born, in Dublin.

[Fimo]

So Archibald Stanton was in Michael Concanon's house because Michael was married to Elibeth Stanton.  Its a while since I looked into this so I am not 100% sure.

[Fimo]

The Elizabeth Stanton I am talking about was born in 1859 and is listed on the 1871 census as Henrietta.  On the 1911 census, she is Henrietta Elizabeth, still married to Michael Concannon and living now in Fairbridge Road in Upper Holloway.  I still need to double check all this.  And she was a thatcher at 13 before moving to London.
