STANNERS Australia Surrey England circa 1866
I am searching for details of my great grandfather, Leo Stanners family.I believe he travelled out to Australia as a Clerk on a ship departing from the port of Rockhampton, England.Leo Stanners appears to have been born around 1866 in Lambeth, Surrey. He most probably had a brother Joseph Stanners.My grandfather was named Leo Joseph or Joseph Leo Stanners b. 1892 and was abandoned after his mother died in 1896.I can find no marriage, nor death record of Leo Stanners in Australia but it was a time of social upheaval and depression.Would dearly love more info as my grandfather's surname was changed and he was put out to work in a cruel environment as a child.He believed he had a brother but could never trace him.Name is sometimes spelt STAMMERS
