Once again, many thanks for all of your suggestions - it seems as if you are all as confused as me as to why Thomas Stanley was such a "traveller"!! On the 1851 census (St Georges Hanover Square) where Elizabeth was living aged 5, the places of birth for the other members of the family were: Sussex, Norfolk, Burton Upon Trent and Sheffield!! His 2nd family (1851 census Kingston Upon Hull) originated from Bretby, Licoln and Hull!! His 3rd family (1861 census Sheffield) originated from Lincoln, Northampton, Nottingham, Hull, Newark and Sheffield!! However, thanks to Rootschat I am now in contact with someone who has considerably more information and if this produces some substantial detail I will post it for all to see. Your assistance and help has been much appreciated.
