Thanks Chris I have trawled through Google without success over the last few weeks. I have had more progress thanks to everyone here. It's great. All I want to find at the moment is information about Thomas Stonier (1826) and his family pre 1871. Anything earlier than that is a bonus.
AnnCardiff, thank you for the surname information, I didn't know that at all.

OOOOH you all answer quicker than I can type.
Thanks again.
Jacqueline you are lovely, I now know so much thanks to you, I wondered if the Holbrooks Mill Stanyers could be related to my Stoniers and you have proved it.
AnnCardiff, thanks for all your hard work finding such useful facts. I used to live in Crewe and actually know the street that Alfred lived on!
Yvonee thanks for the baptism information, everything is suddenly falling into place.
Chris thanks for the Hickson information too, that was a complete hole for me.
Thanks again, I'm sure you all have better things to do than help me, I'm so grateful.

Thanks Yvonne but the Hickson link I think is the right one because of the Betchton link.
Thanks Chris I now have a whole new sapling from my tree thanks to you.
I'd better start going through this and making some notes!
My brother was given the name Stonier as his middle name and I'm looking forward to telling him where it came from and adding a few Hicksons to the story too.

we haven't got better things to do!! we all wait for someone to post a thread like this so we can do some digging - so thank you :-D <3

Thanks again AnnCardiff. My plan this afternoon is to organise all this lovely research (although the shed needs painting) and combine it with my own. I had managed to trace my own surname back to 1600 but this bit of my family had just come to a halt. I am very grateful. My partner is now very jealous as his grandfather has proved even more elusive than a Stonier to find but perhaps I could do a "shout out" for him sometime. Thanks again to you and all the others who have helped me this weekend. ;-)
