Stanley Family Genealogy

Research Notes -

  1. These www pages are under construction. When time permits, additions will be made, and new pages added.
  2. In Winwick: Its History and Antiquities by William Beaumont - chronology appears to be confused between James Stanley Bishop of Ely and his Uncle James Stanley the Archdeacon of Chester. I have attempted to correct the chronology.
  3. Parish Records - many are incomplete and/or baptism, marriage, and burial records are missing.
  4. There is no index to the Palatinate of Lancaster: Court of Common Pleas: Fines Files - Ref. PL/17 (Feet of Fines) held by the Public Record Office. All are in Latin. Within these www pages is my index to these records associated with the Stanley family in Lancashire. I may have missed records, so these indexes may not be complete.
  5. There is no index to - Palatinate of Chester: Chester County Court and Court of Great Sessions of Chester, Final Concords and Recoveries Files - Ref. Ches31 (Feet of Fines) held by the Public Record Office. All are in Latin. Within these www pages is my index to these records associated with the Stanley family in Cheshire. I may have missed records, so these indexes may not be complete.
  6. Visitations - books published are edited versions of original manuscripts, listing pedigrees. of families high on the social scale, but fail to include connections to families lower down, and contain errors.
  7. These www pages are based on published pedigrees, or have been constructed from the combination of facts in wills, parish records and/or other records.
