Hi,

I'm trying to find some family history for my partners side of the family

So far we have.

Peter Charles Vanstone 1946-1993 (my partners Dad)

His parents were: Leonard Charles Vanstone 1909-1955
Alice Anne E Jeffery 1912-1979

Alice Anne E Jeffery's parents were: Dad's surname: Jeffery
Mum's surname: Lucas

We have no information about Leonard Charles Vanstone's parents... Can anyone help please.

Thx

Doing a quick search on Ancestry, the 1911 census returns indicate that Leonard Charles was the son of Peter James Vanstone (b 1872).

Check on Peter James on the 1881 and 1891 census returns shows he is the son of Caroline E Vanstone, a widow.

If you then trace the other siblings back through the census returns, you can see that his father was Christopher Vanstone (b 1816/7).
There is also a marriage record for Christopher Vanstone to Caroline Palmer in 1852.

Christopher and Caroline can be found in the family trees on this site! Look at Tree 1 (Broadwoodkelly line). Towards the bottom Tristram (numbered 16) has as his 7th child Christopher, who married Caroline Palmer.

Following back up from Tristram (1778) and Grace Smale (1780) to Benjamin (1740) and Thomazin Weeks (1768) you arrive at Benjamin (1710) and Mary Rix (1734).

There you go! A whole family tree for very little effort! ;-)

If you need help with the census returns etc, let me know and I will send you what I found.
But it only took me a few minutes work.
