Thankyou so much for this absolutely fascinating story. The parents of Edwin and Arthur Stanley were Henry Stanley (1851-?) and Fanny nee Blake (1850-1940). I am descended from Fanny 's brother Edwin Caleb Blake (1853-1936) who was a carpenter by trade and a trustee of Deddington Methodist Church. Here are Henry and Fanny on the 1881 census where they are living in Helmdon. By 1901 they had moved to Woodstock Oxfordshire, where Henry is working as a grocer. The only child still at home by then is the youngest son Albert aged 10. In addition to Albert, whose full name was Joseph Albert, and William there was another brother George (1882-?).

Hi Mark If it turns out you are looking for the Howse family that located outside of Winnipeg , perhaps I can help you locate information. I live 50 miles west of Winnipeg and our Library has a number of Family History books from various communities in Manitoba. I believe the early Homestead records are located at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. Let me know if I can assist you.

Hi Ann, I have the Banbury PRS - thoughtiwould see if I could find the marriage of Ellen and George - however the methodist marriages are not listed for that period. The FreeBDM as the marriage listed for 1877 sept qtr. However I happened to check the Baptisms and found the following: George Blake baptised 22 September 1848 ; born May 1st son of George & Mary of Boddicott. These differ to the dates that you have is this another son George that possibly died!! R Mark G (Aust) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann Johnston" <annp.johnston@tiscali.co.uk> To: <ENG-BANBURY-AREA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 21, 2004 6:46 PM Subject: Re: [BAN] Update on George Blake of Kings Sutton (1848-1929) Thanks Mark for this extra information. George and Ellen's nephew Edwin Stanley emigrated to Canada sometime after 1901. He enlisted in the Central Ontario Regiment of the Canadian Infantry on November 4th 1915 where his occupation was given as a real estate agent. He was unmarried and his mother in Bodicote Oxfordshire was named as his next of kin although his brother Arthur was noted as living in Alberta Canada. He put his religious denomination as Presbyterian . He was described as being 5 foot and 9 inches tall, with fair complexion, brown eyes and brown hair.(enlistment details obtained from the online Canadian Archives) He died in France on August 16th 1917 and was buried at Noeux-Les-Mines Communal Cemetery (see Commonwealth War Graves site). I found George Blake's birth and baptism in a list of Banbury Methodist circuit baptisms held at the Society of Genealogists. . He was probably either baptised at home or at Bodicote Methodist Chapel (sometimes known as Blakes Chapel), which was built in 1848 on land belonging to his father George Fessey Blake (1808-1872). He is recorded as being born October 1st 1850 and being baptised April 28th 1851. I haven't the exact date of his marriage but according to the faded newspaper cutting of his Golden Wedding it took place at Banbury Methodist Chapel. My newspaper cutting of George's funeral doesn't give a date, just that it was a Thursday afternoon. I did notice that Ellen wasn't listed among the mourners but in 1932 the Kings Sutton Primitive Methodists united with the Kings Sutton Wesleyan Methodists and on July 7th 1936 at the stone laying of the new Methodist Church Mrs Ellen Blake layed a stone.

To Ann Johnston: Dear Ann, Perhaps I can add a bit more history with regard to the STANLEY family. Following is an article written in a Westlock, Alberta, Canada, history book about the STANLEY family. This being the area where Edwin and Arthur STANLEY made their homes. As indicated in the article Arthur married Lillian ADKINS, my great aunt. Edwin enlisted in the Canadian Infantry in Edmonton, Alberta, and served with the Central Ontario Regiment until his death in 1917. I am not sure who their parents were, I think they were William And Elizabeth, perhaps living in Boddicott during the 1881 census. The ADKINS family were living in Kings Sutton before going to Canada in 1905. Treasured Memories by Lois Kinniard and Rosa Sherwin The Stanley Story Our father, Arthur Stanley and his brother Edwin, left Oxfordshire, England in March, 1905, travelling with the Adkins family. After ten days at sea, they arrived in Halifax, Canada, then went on to Manitoba, where they worked for a year. From there, they travelled to Edmonton where the Adkins family was living. In the spring of 1906 they came to Swallowhurst (now Westlock) and took up homesteads, the Adkins settling along the Wabash Creek, and the Stanley boys a few miles farther north. After building small shacks and staying the required time on the homesteads, they returned to Edmonton to work. While proving up their homesteads, the young men assisted in building the Hazel Bluff Church in 1909, where we, as a family, worshipped, and still do. Arthur, our father, taught Sunday School there for many years; was Superintendent and also an elder of the Church for several years. During this time he sang in the choir, as did my sister Lois and myself (Rosa). Over the years we sang many trios; a bass, a contralto and a soprano. I wonder how many fathers today would drive with a team and sleigh in cold weather for four miles to attend choir practice, as our father did. He was active in school work for many years, on the Sunnybank School Board and, after consolidation, on the Westlock School Board. He was also well known for his veterinarian services in the community; was a butcher, and assisted in that area as well. In 1914 war was declared and Edwin enlisted in 1915. He was killed in action in 1917. In 1912, Arthur married Lillian Adkins and they had five children, two girls, Lois and Rosa, and three boys, Edwin, Bill and Barry. My sister Lois, who was born in 1913, married Lawrence Mills, who was unfortunately killed in a woodsawing accident four months later. In 1936, she married Francis Kinnaird and they are now living in the Barrhead area. Three children were born of this union. Larry the eldest, died of leukemia at the age of thirteen, leaving Jack, who is married and has two children, and Linda, who is married, with one child. They are both teaching in the Barrhead School Division. Shortly after Lois and Francis were married, a family picnic was held at the Pembina River. Francis was told he would meet some of his new relatives there. Being new in the area, he had no idea just what this entailed. He expected about a dozen, not forty or fifty, which must have been quite a shock. Rosa, born October 15, married Nick Sherwin 1n 1936. He was born in England, and his family emigrated to Winnigeg in 1912. The Sheriwin family consisted of three children. The eldest, Douglas, married Anne Selby and they had two children. He died in 1965 a victim of cancer. Anne married Ray Ryder and they have two boys and a girl. Judy Sherwin married Mike Wilson. They have a boy and a girl. They are all living in Edmonton. Nick and Rosa live in Westlock. Edwin Stanley, born in 1918, remained a bachelor and lived on the farm where he took excellent care of Dad and Mother until their deaths -- Father's in 1963 and Mother's in 1965. Edwin is now living in Westlock. William (Bill) Stanley was born in June of 1923. He enlisted in the service of his country in 1942 and was killed in action in Italy in 1944. Barry, our youngest brother born our "April Fool" on April 1st, 1926, spent three years in the services. He married Jean Edmundson in February 1947, and they have six children -- Three of each! Bill married Doreen Villeneuve, and they have two daughters and are now living in Ft. Nelson, B.C. Gina, who married Ray Wilkinson, had two daughters, and the family live near the old farm in the Hazel Bluff district. Ken Stanley lives on the place that was formerly the Ben Alien farm with his wife Maureen (Hnatiuk) and their son. Allan and his wife Cheryl (Saffin) have a daughter and live on the former Frank Nielsen farm. Kathy married Locke Girban. They make their home in Sherwood Park, near Edmonton. Marni, who attended the University of Alberta for four years, has recently brought honour to herself and the family, being chosen to attend University in England, majoring in English. We spent many happy years on the Stanley Farm. We all attended Sunnybank School, walking two and a half miles (five miles a day) with some hardships which we didn't seem to mind, such as frozen cheeks, fingers and toes. Boy! Did that fire ever feel good! Snowdrifts as high as the fence posts had to be climbed over or walked on, which was fun. Of course, when the snow melted there were many puddles to be crossed, often by walking along the wires of a barbed wire fence. When our new school was being built, classes were held in the Sunnybank Hall which was an additional two miles to travel, so our transportation was often by buggy and team. "Spider" and "Fly" were the horses' names. Another incident we recall, was our first "bought'' coats, that we got from Eaten's. They were too long, reaching halfway between our knees and our ankles, and of course, at age 13 or 14, we just could not be caught wearing anything that long because "nobody, but nobody" wore clothes below their knees, we told our mother. She tried to convince us that they would keep our knees warm, but to no avail, so off came a few inches. We spent the rest of the winter walking to school with the legs of our Dad's old socks pulled over our knees to keep them from freezing! "Kids". (The history book was published in 1984) The story os a bit long, but I hope it is interesting. I have a picture of Arthur.

Thanks everyone that replied to where AYNHO is located. I think the Mary Ann that the discussion started about would be a Howe(s) and not a Hone. Also list have been looking at the Canadian Census site link provided by Frances Bishop - what an excellent site the census even gives the date of birth and the year of immigration......

Sorry I sent you the birth and baptism of George's sister Fanny Blake by mistake. As you say George Blake was born May 1st 1848 and baptised September 22 of the same year.

Christine, Thank you for the look up Yes it is possible that the surname was mis spelt between Howe and Hone that has happened before. If we could actually find the marriage that may give further details - i can not find Aynho on by bap would it be covered by banbury itself.

Ann Thank you for the update!! The names in the Obituary for George Blake - I cant place the surnames as yet - I wonder if the Mr and Mrs Howes (should be Hone). The others could be on the Elliott family which was Ellen's mothers family. Richard Augustus Plackett bapt 2 May 1858 Banbury was the son of Richard Plackett (died 1862 Banbury) and Sarah Elliott). Do you have the dates for George's baptism can not locate on Bodicote PR's. Marriage date for George & Ellen is 1877 in Banbury registration district but cant find it at either Adderbury or Bodicote any ideas? What was his death/burial date in 1929?? No I havent found Ellen Blake's death as yet. BUt her name was not amongst the mourners you listed - does this mean that she would have died before 1929!! 1901 English Census RG13/1409 Folio 48 pg 19 notess Whittal Street George Blake Head M 52 years Bodicote OXF Butcher Ellen Blake Wife M 51 years Adderbury, OXF Edwin Stanley nephew S 21 years Deddington OXF Butcher Arthur Stanley nephew S 15 years Woodstock OXF butcher Lizzie Robinson niece 22 years Leicester (Lizzie is a neice of Ellen's daughter of her sister Sarah nee Hone and Jabez Bunting Robinson) Regards Mark G (Australia) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann Johnston" <annp.johnston@tiscali.co.uk> To: <ENG-BANBURY-AREA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 21, 2004 12:20 AM Subject: [BAN] Update on George Blake of Kings Sutton (1848-1929) For Mark Grady Mark I have just updated my data on George Blake of Kings Sutton (1848-1929) and Ellen Hone who appears to have been a daughter of William Hone, plush hand loom loom weaver of Adderbury and his wife Mary Ann nee Elliot. Trustee of Kings Sutton Primitive Methodist Church. Awarded a Diploma of Honour from the Band of Hope Union in recognition of services 1877-1912. At George's funeral in 1929 the King's Sutton Band of Hope and Temperance Society sent a wreath and Mr P.Meadows represented the Ancient Order of Rechabites. In 1881 George and his wife Ellen were living at Whittle Street Kings Sutton. They had no children but a 12 year old nephew Thomas Holmes was boarding with them. According to the 1881 census Thomas' mother Ann Holmes (nee Hone) was a 40 year old widow working in Reading as a domestic servant for a Joseph and Mary Huntley who may have been related in some way as they were both born in Adderbury. When George Blake retired from his butchers's shop in or around 1910, it was sold to a Mr Simms. However after 3 years the shop burnt to the ground so George bought the ruins and presented the site to the Primitive Methodist Church to bulid a new chapel at some future date. George and Ellen celebrated their Golden Wedding in 1927 when they were presented with a silver teapot by the Rev W. Turner of Kings Sutton Primitive Methodist Chapel. The cake was suppleid by Mr R.J. England of North Newington. Ministers taking part in the funeral of George Blake were Rev.R. Bolton, Rev C.Thompson, Rev.W.Tuner of Hungerford. There was a service at the home followed by interment in the cemetary. Mourners included nearly all the members of the Primitive Methodist Church, also Mr. E. Blake (brother), Mrs Stanley(sister), Mr and Mrs A. Stanley (nephew and neice), Mr T.Holmes (nephew), Mr and Mrs C. Butler (nephew and neice), Mr W. H. Collett (nephew), Mrs F. C. Grimsley (niece), Mr and Mrs Howes (nephew and niece), Mr. R. Plackett, Mr. O. Banwell. Mrs.W.Tturvey, Mr and Mrs England, Mr F. Bailey, Mr F Humphries, Mrs T.Gardner, Mrs Freeman (Tysoe), Mrs Brailsford, Mrs Boswell (Banbury), Mr A. Jennings, Mrs Trinder, Mrs Neal, Messrs F F Plank, Mr E.Plank, Mr and Mrs J Cousins. When the new Methodist Church was built at Kings Sutton in 1936 there was a plaque put up "To the glory of God and in honour of all who laid foundation stones and bricks. Also in grateful memory of George Blake". Along with his brother Edwin, George was one of the executors and trustees of his Aunt Fanny Blake's will (1894) from which he inherited an annual sum of £3 pa payable half-yearly. I've included the list of mourners at George's funeral, as apart from the Blake and Stanleys, the other relatives must all be from the Hone side of the family. From the entry on the 1881 census Mr R. Plackett was probably Richard A. Plackett, a cousin of Ellen's. Do you know when Ellen died? Ann Johnston --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Mark, Aynhoe is a small Northampton village which had it's own church and, as far as I know, the Northants churches are not covered by IGI. There is a Northants Lookup Exchange which you might want to check: http://www.nthgenuki.org.uk/ The last time I looked there was a volunteer (Ann-Marie Ell) who offered look-ups in the Aynhoe records. HTH. Regards, Susan Bridgewater, Nova Scotia http://users.eastlink.ca/~twoloons/index.html I transcribe for Free BMD http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/

Thanks Mark for this extra information. George and Ellen's nephew Edwin Stanley emigrated to Canada sometime after 1901. He enlisted in the Central Ontario Regiment of the Canadian Infantry on November 4th 1915 where his occupation was given as a real estate agent. He was unmarried and his mother in Bodicote Oxfordshire was named as his next of kin although his brother Arthur was noted as living in Alberta Canada. He put his religious denomination as Presbyterian . He was described as being 5 foot and 9 inches tall, with fair complexion, brown eyes and brown hair.(enlistment details obtained from the online Canadian Archives) He died in France on August 16th 1917 and was buried at Noeux-Les-Mines Communal Cemetery (see Commonwealth War Graves site). I found George Blake's birth and baptism in a list of Banbury Methodist circuit baptisms held at the Society of Genealogists. . He was probably either baptised at home or at Bodicote Methodist Chapel (sometimes known as Blakes Chapel), which was built in 1848 on land belonging to his father George Fessey Blake (1808-1872). He is recorded as being born October 1st 1850 and being baptised April 28th 1851. I haven't the exact date of his marriage but according to the faded newspaper cutting of his Golden Wedding it took place at Banbury Methodist Chapel. My newspaper cutting of George's funeral doesn't give a date, just that it was a Thursday afternoon. I did notice that Ellen wasn't listed among the mourners but in 1932 the Kings Sutton Primitive Methodists united with the Kings Sutton Wesleyan Methodists and on July 7th 1936 at the stone laying of the new Methodist Church Mrs Ellen Blake layed a stone.

From the book *Aynho a Northamptonshire Village* by Nicholas Cooper ISBN 0 904920 09 7 * Some emigrants were men of enterprise, & the village was probably poorer by their departure. Abraham HOWES, for instance, who left with his family in 1845, was able to finally settle as a farmer on a hundred acres of his own land near Winnipeg. It was not until the second world war that his ancestors re-visited the village of Aynho* They might fit Mark - so worth typing:>) Angela:>) Admin Banbury List

Aynhoe is in Northants Dawn

He Denise I was wondering if you could check that year for burial for Thomas Hone FREE BDM has it as 1842!!! Could you also check for the following if possible (you have found my missing family) 1. Any children for Thomas Tustin & Sarah 1845+ 2. Burials for Thomas & Sarah Tustain. 3. Any children recorded there for Ralph & Catherine Dutton (they may have went back to Gloucestershire. But I have been told that she died about 1861??? Not sure when Ralph Dutton died or if re married. 4. Is there a bapt for James Harris c 1825 deaths for James about 1871-1890 Hannah 1900 -15 Any baptism/deaths/marriages details for children 1857 + 5. I wonder where Joshua's first wife died?? no burial 6. Where is Aynho - trying to place the Mary Ann Hone who you gave banns for!!!! Not sure about this what do you think?? The 1841 English Census gives a John Oliver Hone son 2mths old of Thomas and Sarah. No baptism!!!! No listin on FREEBDM but FreeBDM does have Joshua regiestered in 1842 Is it possible that this is the same person I still have to see what happened to Eleanor after the birth of John Oliver Hone in 1860. And if the original John Oliver Hone survived where he went. Thanks again for the find!!!
