STANDBANK OF 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 "Ellinore Clugh" on 28 Mar 1698. There is no other trace of this couple in the Aberford PRs. However, at Edwinstowe, Nottinghamshire, a William, son of John Stanbank, was baptised on 14 Jan 1698/99, followed by other children of a John Stanbank in 1700, 1703 and 1712 (other siblings may have been baptised between 1703 and 1712, but parentage is not given in the baptism entries during that period). No earlier siblings are recorded, nor is there any record of John's marriage in the Edwinstowe PRs. It therefore seems plausible 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 Oct 1721, which could be Eleanor (Clough) Standbank.
