            In the 1851 census, Richard says he was born at West Brom. and there are Stantons living in
     the next couple of houses.

Hi Jackie, yes I saw that one, from memory I think there was another Richard Stanton with wife Catherine and was the other one   a William Stanton, I will have look to see if I can find a connection

Thanks for your input, I am trying to  put Brick Wall in my in my title, and have not got a clue how to do this, any ideas

Hi Jackie, I have tried that, it just changes that post, and not the main title

It is interesting if your Richard Stanton came from Walsall as on the tree compiled from the various old trees and pedigrees I have I had Richard as the Richard from Horsely Heath (resident not necessarily born there) son of Richard Stanton and Sarah Blackham, son of William Stanton, nailer of West Brom and Jane Whitehouse. The other Richard Stanton mentioned on the tree is Walsall born son of Richard Stanton, spurfiler of Walsall (wife unknown) who was the son of Richard Stanton of Oldbury, Pedlar who married Mary Littlefoot in Walsall in 1757.
This may change the allocation of those mentioned in the 1833 memorandum which are John Stanton of Wednesbury in the county of Stafford, farmer, eldest surviving son and heir of law of Richard Stanton deceased, William Stanton of Horsely in the said county of Stafford, nailor. John Stanton of great Bridge in the same county, engineer; Richard Stanton of Horsely aforesaid, nailor, William Stanton of the same place, Blacksmith; William Stanton of Walsall in the said county, spurbuckle and Nicholas Male of the Borough of Dudley

Hi Zen

Well that puts my theory out of the window

So we have 2 Richard Stanton's

Richard Stanton of Walsall,  Spur Filer son of Richard Stanton and Mary Littlefoot he dies before 1833

And my Richard Stanton son of Richard Stanton and Sarah Blackham

So the search goes on for Richards first wife

Thank you very much Zen, this has been very helpful

I have created a transcripted version of all the trees and pedigrees from 1780's up to 1800 with other bits of baptisms and papers from Stafford archives. if you haven't already got it I can send you a copy. It might make disentangling things a bit easier.

That would be great Zen, have you still got my e-mail details
