I am making a feeble attempt to help my cousin's wife with her English ancestors. I will briefly list what she knows about him. Name: John Harry or Henry Stapleton. Always signed his name H. Stapleton. Born: According to his Declaration of Intention of Naturalization dated 14 May 1886, he was 49 years old, making his birth year about 1837. Family records say he was born 27 Mar 1824. On a delayed registration of birth of his first child (done in 1945 by his wife) he is 50 years old. History: According to family fable he was a member of the Queen's Guard about 3 years, served in India about 8 years, and had relatives in England his American relatives tried to contact during WWI, named Busby or something similar. I would appreciate advice on how to proceed with the search to determine his correct birth date, a birth place and names of parents. His naturalization papers say he immigrated in 1872. Thank you for any help you can give me. Connie Bradbury
