Stanley, Henry, Lincoln, joiner and cm (1752–1806). Henry Stanley snr was probably well-established as a joiner and cm some time before 1752 in which year he took his son Henry jnr as app. Other apps were Thomas Bitchfield Coates in 1753, William Stanley, another son, in 1755 and Francis Fisher in 1764. The Monson archives record a payment of £1 14s to an H. Stanley in 1766 but it is unclear whether this was due to the father or son. It was payment for ‘a mohogney glass case with a frett at top — exclusif of ye glass £1.4s’ and ‘a staind stool with stufd seat 10s’. Henry Stanley jnr was still living in Lincoln in November 1806.
