  [S47] Email, OZRAMP, Brenda; 2005 06 02;. G'day Mark, Good to hear from you. Well - where do I start ? Like you, I was lucky enough to bump into Brian Wollaston on the web a year or so ago and he was very helpful with my research into the Stanton/Damon-Darmon family and kindly sent me a photo of the Fleet Cemetery and a transcript of Jacob & Rebecca's headstone. If you don't have a copy of the either - please let me know and I will forward them to you. By the way, which of their children are you descended from ? I should probably mention that my interest in the Damon family is two-fold and fairly complicated. Francis Stanton was my GGG Grandmother Leitita Logier - Waldie's second husband and my GG Grandmother Henrietta Rebecca Stanton's step father. Although my research has revealed that Henrietta's father was Edward Waldie, her mother Letitia remarried Francis Stanton when Henrietta was only 2 - 3 years old and Henrietta appears to have always used the Stanton name. If not for the fact that she had 5 older siblings who went by Waldie I would have suspected that she thought Francis was her father and not step-father. Oddly, the second youngest Waldie child used both the Waldie and Stanton surname on different occaisions but Henrietta used it consistantly. Anyway so although I am not directly decsended from the Stanton line, he was acknowledged as Henrietta's father on all relevant documents and therefore I look upon him as an ancestor. [hope that all makes some sense]. I'm attaching a copy of Francis & Letitia's 1864 wedding certificate which names his parents as Jacob Stanton, a mason and Rebecca Dammon. Brian kindly sent me a copy of Francis' death certificate which did complicate matters for a while, as it names his mother Jane Damon but as death certificates [at least in Australia] relied heavily on the informant's knowledge they are considered the most unreliable of documents. Francis' informant was his & Letitia's only son Francis Jacob Stanton and as he wouldn't have met his grandparents and had both died by the time he was 4 y/o he would have only known what his father had mentioned, if anything, to him over the years. I was interested to read on your website that you have Francis Stanton aged 22 & a Mariner of Fleet on the 1851 census. I have a copy of the Devon Census and can't find his entry. I can't find Jacob or Rebecca on the CD either. Do you know what source the entry came from ? As I mentioned I have two interests in the Damon family. The second is extremely complicated but the short version is: - I'm trying to establish if Rebecca Damon-Stanton was related to an Elizabeth Damon b: circa 1822, who married Alfred Deans pre 1857 in UK and immigrated to Australia in 1857 settling in Ararat. I suspect that this Elizabeth was a niece of Rebecca's and therefore a 1st cousin of Francis's. Unfortunately I've had no luck establishing Rebecca or Elizabeth's parent's names. Elizabeth died in Victoria in 1906 but the death listing records her parents as Father: Damon & Mother: Elizabeth Unknown - not very helpful. The reason this Elizabeth is so interesting to me is pretty complicated but basically Henrietta Rebecca Stanton [ Francis Stanton's step-daughter] married and had 6 children [ their eldest my G-Grandmother] then following her husband's death, she had 2 further children to a John Wilde. Their first child a daughter died in 1905 and Henrietta herself died in 1907. Neither of these children's births were registered when they were born but in 1913 John Wilde registered their second child, a son, who was named George on Henrietta's 1907 death certificate but Jack Darmon Deans Wilde in 1913. The certificate names his parents as John Wilde & Henrietta Stanton but he appears to have been 'given' to Alfred Deans & Elizabeth Damon's son Alfred Edw. Deans and his wife Isobel Bolton. Official adoptions didn't begin in Victoria until the 1930s. This Alfred was 46 and Isobel 49 when the married in 1904 and there are no children registered to them but when Jack Darmon Deans [the Wilde name having been dropped] recorded Alfred & Isobel as his parents on his marriage & death certificates. I suspect that Henrietta's son was given to Alfred & Isobel who were childless and that Alfred was a 2nd cousin of Francis's. As I said it's very complicated and it has taken me years to arrive at this point - confirming that Rebecca & Elizabeth were indeed aunt/niece would be the icing on the cake. Well I must stop rambling on. I will attach Francis & Letitia's marriage certificate. If you don't already have his death certficate - please let me know and I will sent that onto you as well. By the way there can be little doubt that this Francis Stanton was a son of Jacob & Rebecca as his middle name was Darmon/Damon and he named his only son Francis Jacob Stanton and he in turn named his only son Francis Damon Stanton. Although Francis was at least one of 10 children I haven't come across any of his siblings in the Victorian BDM indexes so am presuming he was the only one to immigrate to Australia. cheers Brenda [S12] Marriage Certificate, STANTON Francis Damon; & LOGIER, Letitia; 1864.
