Find Living Relatives

Can anybody help me locate any members of the family of a Moses Stanworth. I understand he was an officer in the 4th Army (but deceased by 1942). He had a son called John William Stanworth born approx 1918 who was a private in the Kings Shropshire Light Infantry.

Any information would be much appreciated.

Regards Julie

Births Jun 1917 (>99%)
Stanworth John W Beddow Whitchurch S 6a 992

I'm not seeing a marriage to fit with this birth.

Do you know his mothers name?

Now that we are on the right track........I have deleted the info regarding Richard Stanworth.

According to the Marriage Certificate of John William Stanworth to my grandmother Linda B Tombs in 1942 his father was Moses Stanworth deceased. My grandmother died in 1971 and my father knows nothing. The information which I provided earlier is all the information which I have for certain from the marriage Certificate of 1942.

We had found the information of John William Stanworth to a mother Beddow (maiden name). She married a Hall then married a Stanworth. We think.


This is the only likelyhood that we have found so far but are not sure if on the right track.

I don't see a marriage for him, at least not with his middle initial.

Well done Austin

How confusing is that!

Herbert has the MMN of Hall

Two daughters were born to the Stanworth/Taylor marriage

George's sister Rachel has a virtually indecipherable middle initial on her birth record, which might be N.

If so, this could be her marriage:

Daniels Harold Stanworth Bolton 8c 831
Stanworth Rachel N Daniels Bolton 8c 831


And her death:

There were 6 Daniels / Stanworth births between 1942 and 1955, per FreeBMD -two in Farnworth, and the rest in Bolton.
None with particularly distinctive first names, unfortunately.

A big difference between Thomas Beddow's age and place of birth compared to the 1901 census.

Married 19 years......4 children born and living.

Thomas aged 16......is actually John Thomas.......

I very much doubt that Mary Jane Hall is Thomas and Mary A's daughter!
