If the information found by DET has answered your question, could you please acknowledge that .................. so that other helpers do not waste time looking for more information.

Alternatively, if this information has not answered all your questions, could you please remove the tick from the posting of the 1911 Census ...........


.................. the tick implies that no further research is needed. Therefore, no other helpers will open the thread.



Thank you

Boston Passenger and Crew Lists, 1820-1943

Stanley Wm Stansbury
Arrival Date: 1 May 1914
Age: 45
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1869
Gender: Male
Ethnic Background: English
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Ship Name: Cymric
Port of Arrival: Boston, Massachusetts
Friend's Name: Burnslins Tony - No, Mother Mrs Stansbury of 6336 Woodland Avenue
Last Residence: England
Birthplace: Bradford, England (looks like Wallasey)

BTW ..................

DET asked you for the 1911 Census for one reason only ..........................


so that any helper could see all the information for the family.

You may know everything about them, but we are coming to it cold, and need to get our heads around the people involved.

Only when we know the names of all members of the family, their birth dates and places, can we be sure that anything we find for a later date is really "yours".


There was absolutely no need for you to be so rude to her .................... any of the rest of us would have asked the same question!


I'm only surprised that she continued to help you.

Sorry - didn't spot your post Sylvia.

There is a tree on Ancestry which gives details of their daughter Mary as
Mary Stansbury
Birth 14 April 1893 in Shipley, Yorks, England
Death 22 April 1982 in Grand Rapids, Kent, Michigan, United States of America

Quite a number of sources attached, but it may be best to wait until Philip returns to see if he wants to persue this line of enquiry

I asked for the 1911 census data, as Sylvia explained, so we could see what family you were talking about.
I did not message you, so do not know what that refers to. Who did?
You are not the only person who works 7 days a week.
If you were aware that they had emigrated it would have been useful to mention it in your opening post.
If you were not aware, then why that comment about 'move on'?
Thank-you

Added:
Interesting that his naturalization record has birth year of 1865, and his gravestone has year 1863.

Patchem - now you mention it! Perhaps who ever arranged the burial didn't know his exact yob?

The Bessie Alfred Stansbury has been bothering me, so from

http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/cgi/birthind.cgi

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1902

Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name
STANSBURY Cecil Alfred Blackpool A Blackpool NAYLOR

http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/index.php
With a number of children born in Lancashire, it's well worth adding LancsBMD to your favourites

http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/index.php

To ensure that Cecil's registration was found, I made a 'wide search' of 1900-1904. The results threw up 2 other children of this couple, one of whom may have been one of the children who died. Well worth looking at.

Philip

You need to be aware of how this site works........or you'll end up alienating the very people who help you

The comment about 'awful writing' referred to the census enumerator....how on earth do you imagine anyone would know what your writing is like? Think about it!

And think before putting rude emoticons at the end of your messages.........

If you have all the census data, why are you asking for help? What do you want to know?

If you are looking for info in England/Wales AFTER 1911.....use freebmd.
