I have been asked by a family member to help with their familytree as they have hit a brick wall, I have been helping but I have also hit the same brick wall and would like anther pair of eyes please.
I have a Henry Sidney Stanton born (c)1888 in Barnetby Le Wold in Lincolnshire, found him age 23 in 1911 as a boarder with his future wife Olive Louisa Palmer and her family in Gainsborough Lincolnshire. They were married in 1911 in Gainsborough. His father is given as Joseph Stanton, deceased railway inspector on the marriage certificate. I cannot find Henry Stanton in 1901 or earlier, or even a birth reg for him and its this I would like help on please.

For our info

Barnetby le Wold is covered by the Glanford Brigg RD but not seeing a birth there.

Could he have taken on a step father's name or moved as a youngster to Barnetby and presumed that was where he was born for example?

Where did he die and at what recorded age?

Is this Olive's death?

The Stenton marriage and birth of Samuel (Caistor covers Cleethorpes). There might just have been enough time to have another child between marriage and Samuel's birth depending on real time dates,
OR Henry was a bit older and a child of Sarah Jane
Or Stenton is a red herring but seems too good a match with Father's occupation.

Thanks for all your help. I have found him on the 1911 census but that is the only one I can find. The family he is boarding with in 1911 are his future in laws as he married Oliver Palmer on 17 April 1911. I'm thinking that Joseph Stanton may not be his biological father but may have been the man who brought him up, hence taking the name Stanton.
Yes greyghost, that is his wife Olives death reg. The story goes that Henry Stanton disappeared from his family around 1924ish never to be seen or heard from again. I have no idea if he had any siblings, or when he died or even if he remarried at all. That's where I'm hoping you lovely lot can help cause I'm totally baffled xx :-D

Possibly Joseph Stenton's death, so still alive when Henry STANTON married.

1911 census has Joseph and family in Cleethorpes which by now is in the Grimsby RD

According to Henry and Olives marriage certificate, Joseph Stanton, Henrys father is written down as railway inspector, deceased.

Yes, just trying to show that the STENTON family suggested as a possible was unlikely as that Joseph was still alive when Henry married. Railway job a coincidence?

Thanks for help greyghost. This is a hard one, its like Henry Stanton in 1911 just appeared from no where. Not sure where to go now to be honest with it. :-(

Son Harry probably married in 1943 in Gainsborough RD and there are 3 births showing that are probably to that marriage. Maybe you can chase them forward to see if anyone has any further information or is that where your request for help has come from?

There are also probable siblings to Harry.

Looking at that death too Maddie, but the marriage was June Qtr when Joseph was already declared as dead, but stranger things have happened

Hi Maddie, thanks for all your help. Yes that is the family that the request has come from they are as stuck as me unfortunately. I did see the 1901 entry but because Henry wasn't on it I dismissed it, its a good match for Josephs occupation certainly. Henry would have been about 13 in 1901 so possibly still at home. Henrys place of birth in 1911 was given as Barnetby, is that near Bourne do you think, as I see Joseph above died in Bourne?
