STANDBANK OF EDWINSTOWE AND ABERFORD

The only entry for the name Standbank, Stanbank, or variants in the Aberford parish registers before the marriage of William and Mary (Sampson) Standbank in 1724 is for the marriage of "John Stonbanke" and "Ellinora Clugh" on 28 March 1698. There is no other trace of this couple in the Aberford registers. However, at Edwinstowe, Nottinghamshire, a William, son of John Stanbank, was baptised on 14 January 1698/99, followed by other children of a John Stanbank in 1700, 1703 and 1712. No earlier siblings are recorded, nor is there any record of John's marriage in the Edwinstowe parish registers. It therefore seems that John was the man who married Eleanor Clough at Aberford in 1698. There was also a burial of an "Eling" Stanbank at Edwinstowe on 20 October 1721, apparently Ellen (Clough) Standbank.

There are two William Stanbank marriages recorded in the Edwinstowe parish registers in the 1670s: William Stanbank and Mary Thornton on 11 February 1672/73, and William Stanbank and Mary Kerke on 29 July 1674. It is not clear whether the bridegroom in each case is the same individual but if so, he is likely to be the William, son of John Stanbank and Sarah, baptised at Edwinstowe on 1 May 1652. Licence details for the 1672/73 marriage show that William Stanbank of Edwinstowe, cooper, bachelor, aged twenty-one, intended to marry Mary Thornton, widow, twenty-three, of Southwell.[1]
