Hi Judith
My name is David Stares and interested in our family background as well .As you know the name has been spelled in a number of ways ,the most popular being Stares/Stairs.We are members of the Atlantic version of the clan coming from Newfoundland and thence to central Canada (St Catharines)Ontario.As far as I know our common ancestors were on a British Man o'War which landed in St John's Nfld in the mid 1700s.We cannot follow their line before that as they sought to hide from the British Navy who took a dim view of deserters.
From there the family spread out to the other provinces and the eastern US seaboard within the first generation.
We have some reason to believe that they came from the Portsmouth area which would tie in to the Naval connection.My wife and I have found a family plot in New Forest where there are three spellings of the name.(Stares /Stairs/Stare.
Interestingly enough a certain Joseph Stares led the opposition to the Canadian Federation in the mid 1800s.
All of our side of the crew was somehow involved in ownership of schooners or working on them and I have many stories to relate as told by my Grandmother including a connection to the Stares in Australia (Melbourn)
Hope to hear from you----------David A Stares

Hi I have searched all through the ships records between UK and Cda and found many of the NS and NB Stairs family traveling to England. There were a few traveling to Ireland, but by far the majority crossed the pond to England. I suspect the roots came from there. I am keen to make a connection and have research back extensively in the Beds and Bucks area. Now need to work on the southern Stairs families. Hugs Judith

Julie, I was wondering if you have found any connection of your Stares line to the Stares/Stairs just north of London? My roots are Beds and Bucks and I know some relatives headed south to London and your area. Can we share? Hugs Judith

Thomas Nicholas Stares & Jane Elizabeth Blatherwick had issue and lived in Portsmouth - Jane died in 1895 and their son my Great Granfather Henry Nicholas Stares - born 1866 Portsmouth married Caroline Hill and had my Grandmother Elsie Elizabeth Stares 1895. Elsie married William Arthur Scarrott in Portsmouth and had issue.
Website under construction :

Kevin,
I wonder if you may be able to help me.

I am researching the Wiseman family of Ringwood, Hants.
In my search I came across a James J Wiseman, son of Peter and Elizabeth (Knight), who married Susannah Stares at the Anglican Church of St. John the Baptist in 1829. They moved to New Jersey and had three children, Frederick, Julia, and Sophia. Both JJ and Susannah are buried there in New Jersey.
Susannah's parents were William and (unknown) Stares, who lived at Blockmaker's Hall in St. John's, Nfld. Have you or any one you know of researched this family, particularly the Wiseman side of that marriage. Who were Peter and James J and where did they come from???
We would appreciate any help.
Everett

Celia
Don't know if you're still researching Stares, just linked your messages in with some information that I have. No connection with my line as far as I know.
I have your James & Elizabeth on 1881 census, which I guess you have already, let me know if you don't.
I also have Crofton parish records as follows for their children..
agnes kate stares bapt 1874
agnes kate stares bur 1875
albert john stares bapt 1882
bertie stares bapt 1872
ellen louisa stares bapt 1879
ellen louisa stares mar 1899 to harry tauswell
harriett ann stares bapt 1876
isabelle stares bapt 1870
james william stares bapt 1863
walter stares bapt 1864
Family res in Melville Lane 1863, James' occupation given as labourer or thatcher.
I believe from some early work that I did, when I thought there was a connection with this line, that Walter and Ada Hutchins had at least 3 children; Stanley William Stares 1911, Leslie J Stares 1914, Maurice J Stares 1916.
Please let me know if you can add any extra information - or correct anything!
