Go to the 1861 map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/419471/552891/10/100159 and West Stanley Farm is shown to the south of Havanah. you can see other maps up to 1989-1990
Change the zoom level with the - in the top left corner.
West Stanley Farm is called Glower-oer-em on the 1896 map. See https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16&lat=54.8687&lon=-1.6941&layers=6&right=BingHyb

Another try to identify Havannah. The church of St. Andrew's is indicated as in Havannah.

If you want to run as Councillor in Havannah it seems to help if you have a beard!

This article is about the present Havanah Parish Ward, not the 19th century Havanah. You can see the area covered by this ward at http://www.stanley-tc.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/NEW-Boundary-Map-SH-Ward-Changes-11.12.12.pdf
