Hi Michelle,
Re ARTHUR GEORGE STANWAY - I was 11 when my grandfather died so I heard the story from him! He said he grew up in an orphanage ( I thought at the time he was there from a baby (Foundling?) but now know that was wrong.) and from there was sent to live and work with a baker around the age of 8 years old. He spoke of sleeping by the bakehouse ovens and living with the baker's family until he was trained and adult! He married in 1902 and then had a business of his own until he retired about 1925.That is all I knew until I started searching! I think I told you that in 1891 Arthur was at his father's (Abraham)
house in Manchester area. He was then 27 / baker so I know it is right. Also his brother Henry was there - he was with Abraham in 1871 Census in Norwood, Croydon. This is where the Arthur trail dies out until 1891. It will be driving you mad too! Please don't feel you have to keep looking!

On the Irish side - Arthur's mother Margaret Kirby - I know little; only her parent's names and birthplaces. Irish records are very difficult!

I have Margaret's birth certificate - 1841 Lambeth - and 1851 Census for the family at South St. Lambeth.- 6 children all born Lambeth. So by their ages I reckon the family had been in England by 1836. That's all I have found !

Thanks for your help - I'll understand if you feel you have to give up ! I reach that stage myself!
Best wishes - Joy

Hi Joy

I spent 3 hours looking last night!!Poor you must be driving you mad!
Couple of questions
1)May i ask how you know he was orphaned out?
2)I seem to remember an Irish connection to the family i maybe wrong i am working on lots of threads at the moment!Think it was Margarets side.

Have you checked for this?

I do think it is odd and i will keep looking when i have free time.

Hi Michelle, Just found your message of yesterday - I'm never sure where to look for replies being somewhat of a novice! Think I may know now to look on my ' threads ' !

No, I have no clues about what different name - have read some place that orphanage children took the name of the employer they were placed with. May be I'm barking up the wrong tree!

Anyway, thanks for your efforts - I look and look without result! It really bugs me!

Bye for now - Joy

Mary A Robson is the mum,its a census transcript error and should read 41 as you pointed out.Once i find a family i generally copy and paste it over and don't if busy always check for errors.
Very sorry about that.
So to recap there is no young daughter called Mary A this was the mother aged 41.
If you need anything else please let me know.

Hi Michelle
Sorry to be a Pain.

Just seen 1891 census for Florence M Robson.

It hasn't finished the rest of the family,it finishes at the father.Nobody else on the list.

Also on the 1901 there is a Mary A Robson age 4 but if you have a look it says WIFE for Mary A Robson born 1897.

And could the Mary A Robson 4 be the mother and it has left off the 1,cos Mary A Robson should be 41 on the 1901 census.

Thanks for looking and your a Star.

Hi Michelle,

Just wondering if you have been able to find anything in 1871 and 1881 Census's for my Grandfather: ARTHUR GEORGE STANWAY b. 1863 Lambeth.?
Thankyou for all the stuff you've found so far about his family - that is all correct, including that ABRAHAM ( Arthur's father) had a brother George b.1843.
The only thing I'm looking for is ARTHUR'S where- abouts in the above mentioned Census. He was probably in Home/School for orphans at the time of 1871 Census and ' Placed Out ' with a baker for training in the 1881 Census so may have had a different name.

I realise it's not easy and don't expect you to labour too hard on it! Just let me know if you can't continue!
Contact: [email protected]

Many thanks anyway - Joy Stringer

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for all your info. re Arthur George Stanway and family. Yes I do have all that you have mentioned - finding all about his family was a total surprise to me. I thought he was all alone in the world - an orphan! In fact it was his mother who died in 1868 - his father remarried in 1871 and had Henry living with him. I have never been able to find anything about Arthur until 1891 Census when he was with his father and family! What a surprise that was! I know he was living with a baker from a very early age, where he was taught his trade. It is a mystery! You can reply direct to me if you wish.

Sorry taken so long was out earlier and had a few to look up.I have been on yours for a while and nothing i'm afraid found about both of his wives and also saw Amelia in the 1841 census but he's nowhere!
Have you tried searching boat records around this time maybe he was away?Or he could be a census stray?Have you tried a google search for Sheffield strays?
