I'm hoping someone else will be able to help me spot Richard STANBURY, mariner, who I can't find in a single census.
He died Mar 1861 in Poplar (just before the census, naturally); his death cert (registered by his m-i-l) has him a master mariner age 37, giving a birth date of about 1824. This (sort of) ties in with a possible baptism in the IGI in 1826 in Stepney.
He married Margaret Anderson 2 Apr 1855 in Bromley St Leonard, Middlesex. He's a mariner, witnesses George Sabeston (his bride's neighbour) and Mary Ann Stanbury. Father is Richard Stanbury deceased (no occupation).
No trace of him in 1851, and in 1841 all I can find is a 15-year old with the right name in the Channel Islands who gives his place of birth as England, but no occupation of course.
There's a Mary Ann Stanbury in the Bethnal Green workhouse in 1841 census the right age to be his sister but LMA say the workhouse records that far back have not survived.
I have a picture of Richard and I'd love to fill in some background info, but he just seems to slip away all the time! Can anyone spot him in 1841 / 1851?
