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. 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] It
is not clear whether the bridegroom in each case is the same individual but it
seems probable. If so, he would be the William, son of John Stanbank
and Sarah, baptised at Edwinstowe
on 1 May 1652. Edwinstowe manor court records of 1679
mention William Stanbank, Mary his wife, Sarah his
mother and James his brother.[2]
The will
of this James Stanbank sheds some light on the
family. The testator mentions his wife “Judath”, two
sons (not named) of his brother William, and four women whose relationships are
not stated but who were evidently James’s sisters. The family was as follows:
JOHN STANBANK of Edwinstowe
died at Clipstone and was buried on 17 December 1669 at Edwinstowe.[3] He
married SARAH who was buried on 22 April 1682 at Edwinstow.[4]
Children of John and Sarah Stanbank:
i MARY STANBANK, b 16 Jul 1646, Edwinstowe;[5] m(1) 24 May 1666, Harworth, WILLIAM HOLE;[6] m(2) 2 May 1689, Edwinstowe, THOMAS ANDERSON.[7]

vii REBECCA STANBANK, b 28 Dec 1661, Edwinstowe,[18] bur 19 Apr 1708, Norwell;[19] m WILLIAM MANSFORTH.[20]
The
John Stanbank who married Sarah may have been a son
of the John Stanbank senior who was buried at
Edwinstowe on 22 July 1648 and who left a will which I have not yet seen.[21]

“Mary Wife of William Standbank Butcher” buried on 27 May 1757 at Aberford but that
seems more likely to be a wife of the William baptised
in 1725 and who remarried later in 1757, although his wife would have been Ann
rather than Mary unless he had another marriage which has not been traced. A
William, son of William and Mary Standbank, was baptised at West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, in 1756, but it
is not clear whether this is relevant to the family covered in this account.
