I know about him up to 1922, so please don't spend any of your precious time looking at his early life.
Background Birth reg Suffolk UK Q1 1899 Stanley Augustus Studd. 1901 in the family home with mother & two sisters. 1911 mother had remarried & was Mrs Vincent - she, Stanley & a younger son (both recorded as Vincent) were in Blything Union workhouse.
1913 13 year old Stanley was convicted of theft & sent to a reformatory for 5 years. Whilst on licence, he joined the army (no service record)and served until 1919. He then entered the merchant navy (I've got his identity cert) and in late 1920 went to work on Cunard liners. He was on trans-Atlantic crossings and 1921-1922 he featured in Ellis Island records.
What happened next? There's a possible 1930 USA census record - Nassau Co, New York state for Stanley Studd, 31 yrs, English, immigrated 1921? working as a labourer in a construction camp. I can't find an immigration record, nor a 1940 USA census entry, nor a WW2 draft record, nor a death.
Would be grateful for any possible sightings.
Thanks for reading & sorry it's so long.
