Henry Miles born in Stanton, Wiltshire
« on: Wednesday 02 May 18 11:54 BST (UK) »
I am trying locate any useful information about Henry Miles my GGGrandfather according to a 1881 census he was born in 1846 in Stanton Wiltshire.  As I am not very familiar with Wiltshire I am wondering which Stanton it is likely to be.  For some reason this ancestor is proving most elusive in my searches.  Any pointers and help would be very gratefully received.  I don’t know his father’s name as yet he moved to South Wales Glamorganshire/Monmouthshire.

Hi

It could be Stanton Fitzwarren which is near Swindon Wilts. 

Do you only have him on the 1881 census?  As he married his fathers name should be on the certificate. 
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

Well there seems to be several Stantons in Wiltshire, that's what's causing the confusion.  I went through the pages of the 1851 Census for Stanton St Quinton and there are a shedload of Miles families there, but I missed seeing Henry's name.

Now that someone (avm 228) on this forum has kindly found for me the maiden name of Henry's wife Mary hopefully I can get hold of the marriage certificate and get his father's name..

Woohoo progress.  Another name to research.
Thanks a million
