Last name: Stannard


This interesting surname of pre 7th century Olde English origins. It derives from the given name "Stanheard", composed of the elements "stan" meaning stone plus "heard" meaning hardy, brave or strong. As a personal or baptismal name it is typical of the period of history known as the Dark Ages, when the people of Europe longed for strong government in a time of great anarchy and lawlessness. The surname is much later, although even then one of the first to be created anywhere in the world. This was in the century following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. The Normans certainly gave the country peace, however in so doing they also tried to destroy the Anglo-Saxon culture. This is a name which has survived the political correctness of that, and should be treasured for that alone. Early examples of the surname recording include: Ralph Stanhard in the pipe rolls of the city of Ely, Cambridgeshire in 1221, and Laurence Stannard in the Subsidy Rolls also of Cambridgeshire in 1327. Spelling forms of the modern surname include: Stannard, Stonard, Stonhard, Stonner, Stanett, Stennard and others. Examples of the surname recording in surviving early church registers include: Astyne Stannarde who married Amyes Valle on April 24th 1576, at St. Mary Somerset, city of London, and Janne Stannard who married Lawrence Lytton on August 7th 1594 at St. Katherine by the Tower (of London). Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was sometimes known as the Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop", often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Hi

Looking at the 1939 register information above, why would Elsie R Stannard born 1930 not be listed ?

She most probably is one of the closed records on there as she was born less than 100 years ago.

This shows where the closed records came within the household:

1939:
Stannard Household (9 People) 117 The Ave , Harrogate M.B., Yorkshire (West Riding), England

Elijah Stannard 28 May 1892 General Labourer
Matilda Stannard 16 Mar 1895 Domestic Duties Unpaid

Thanks Dea, appreciate the update.

Dea how do you access the information from the 1939 register ?

It is on FMP - a subscription site, or pay to view.

Just to add about the 1939 Register, I think that when it first became available online through Find My Past those that were born less than 100 years but had died prior to 1996 their records were already opened. It was my understanding that they were working through the deaths after that date and opening up those records of those that had died but we're still less than 100 years old. It looks like both Miriam & Patricia had died in 2001 so they must have already worked through those that had died upto 2001. It is possible to have entries opened if they don't appear on the Register but have died but you have to provide proof of death ie Death Cert.
