Robert Staniforth of Ford, Ridgeway


Nathan J. Staniforth

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to find mentions of Robert Staniforth, son of William Staniforth and Elizabeth Thorpe, he has been refered to as Robert Staniforth of Ford which is obviously the small hamlet just south of Ridgeway that has Ford Farm. His father William was baptized 1560 Norton (I have this record) and he married Elizabeth Thorpe who was daughter of Christopher Thorpe, baptized 1581. William has burial at Eckington on 16 AUG 1630 and Elizabeth's is 1627.

I believe Robert must have been baptized before the Eckington Records seem to start, so it would have been in the early 1600s, his brother William married Dorothy Monk (I have both of their wills), another brother John of Sload Lane married a Sarah (No surname yet), he had another brother Samuel Stannyforthe, and two sisters Dorcas and Elizabeth Stannyforthe.

 

I've tried searching the same books that I used to find mention of Henry Stannyforthe on Williams baptism in 1560 but no luck, the only mention I find of him is his name is mentioned in a Derbyshire book that refers to him as yeoman Robert Stannyforthe of the Ford.

Robert Stannyforth 
Accounts of the Sheffield Burgery 1573 

Hi You mentioned various spellings of the Surname so i wondered if these articles could be relevant

I have captured the whole article in sections to make them more readable 

.Sheffield Independent 26 December 1878

Thank you both for the help, I am very suspicious of that and any tree so will have to do some research, that Henry burial from 1575 is as far as my (Now rather large) Staniforth tree goes, and I've tied in multiple branches across America, Australia and closer to home so I'm surprised I haven't come across those earlier ancestors myself..

Will investigate anyway and let you know what I come up with!

Syrup, I'm aware of the 1800s Eckington Robert but haven't found where he ties in just yet, he's one of the Eckington lot I haven't tied in just yet

That tree is incorrect, he has Robert of Ford being born after his father Williams death, I am aware that there were two Robert Stannyforthe's at Ford at the same time back then, this is noted in a few books so I believe he has the wrong one. Also any of those records prior to Henry's burial in 1575 seem off to me, Thomas living to 101 in the 1500s??

The article is about Robert in 1574 The Newspapers are 1878 and 1879.

Sorry Syrup, I should have read the actual articles, that definitely could be him, I do know there was 2 Robert Stannyforthe's in Ford at that time, when my Robert moved there, there was already a Robert Stannyforthe in the hamlet strange as it seems. But it's hard to differentiate between the two, this definitely could be my Robert
