STANLEY

James Stanley with sons Thomas and Simon Stanley were sailing on the Saratoga from Liverpool, England arriving in New York on April 22, 1852. Thomas and Harriet with sons William, John and daughter Susan were living in Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois in 1860. Thomas and sons were listed as plasterers and in 1870 Thomas was listed as a brick mason

Thomas and Harriet Stanley may be buried in Cook Co., Chicago, Illinois. I have found William married to Margaret Unknown and they had a son William and daughter Margaret. Margaret marries a Sandford who may have died early in their marriage. Margaret and son Stanley Sandford are living with her parents in 1900 and again in 1910 they had all moved to Seattle, Washington. Too make a long story short; Stanley Sanford goes to Los Angeles, California and becomes a movie actor where he meets his wife Edna Rollins and a son Robert Sandford and a daughter Edna Sandford are born. Stanley was nicknamed "Tiny" and starred in movies with Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy. He died in 1961 of colon cancer in the Movie Actors Hospital
