  • Notes 
    • 09/11
      In the 1841 census Mary Ann is recorded living next door to a Henry DAMON (Sailor). The record makes no record of whether she is a widow by this stage.

      10/04
      As far as the Bown family we knew that Mary Bown (1791) had a daughter,Mary Ann Bown (1815), who who in turn was Sarah Ann Stanton (1844)'s and William John Stanton's (1857)'s mother, I hadn't looked further along the 'Bown line' so never found her father, although I have since found his name was John. One might conjecture that he would have been born around 1791 too. Brian says he couldn't find him on the 1841 census, and I find he doesn't appear on the 1851 census either. I don't know whether he too was a sailor, which around Fleet in those days often meant a local fisherman, but it appears that local crew-men were frequently ar sea when the Census-man called and thus never featured on census lists. (1841 was the very first official General Census anyway after the introduction of BDM registration in 1837, so it was something new, and possibly something bound to arouse many people's suspicions - like Identity Cards do in these days!).

      The Secretary of the S&DFHS, Mrs.Mural Monk; it was Mrs. Monk who told me then that Mary Bown (1791) died 11/12/1875 at the age of 84 years, a date obtained from her records of Monumental Inscriptions in All Saints Church at Wyke Regis.

      1871 Census record has James and family recorded as "STAUNTON" instead of "STANTON". Also Mary's mother is recorded as "BROWN" instead of "BOWN". But these are definately the correct STANTON family.
