Stanton United · Archive reference MP002
71 supplied PDF documents, containing 1,160 pages. They include census compilations, personal and family histories, photographs, maps, newspaper cuttings, memorial inscriptions and book references.
Original reference numbers are retained throughout. Separate copies and related versions remain available, including the two supplied copies of the Stanton United photograph.
Search checks document titles, descriptions and extracted page text. Results can take you straight to a matching page. Try variants of names and place spellings, particularly in census records.
Scanned pages use automatic text recognition where possible. Small type, handwriting, tables and faint images may not be fully searchable. The HTML version is an aid to discovery; always check the original PDF for names, dates and quotations.
The census collection is a document archive, rather than a verified database of individual people or households.
Personal accounts are preserved as their contributors recorded them. Memories and historical reports can contain differing recollections or errors.
Credits and source information are retained in each PDF. Historic photographs used on this website are cropped from the supplied documents. Their originals remain available in the archive.
The map documents credit the National Library of Scotland. Other sources include local and national newspapers, family contributions and published parish material.
Use the search box at the top of any page. Search checks titles, descriptions and the text inside the documents. Try a surname on its own first, then add a place or date.
The People, Places and School pages offer starting points. Topics shows all nine collections, and the keyword index brings together selected documents about particular subjects.
Open a record to read its HTML version directly on this website. Photographs and maps appear within the page. Use the source page controls to continue reading, or choose Read complete HTML document to read all pages together. The Original PDF tab and download remain available. Search results open at a matching page.
Scanned text can contain errors, especially in handwriting and census tables. Try different spellings and check the original PDF when quoting a name, date or passage.
The site supports keyboard navigation and browser zoom. Use Tab to move between links and controls. The photograph gallery changes only when you choose a photograph. HTML versions let text reflow with browser zoom and include tables with column headings. Converted scans and complex layouts may still have reading-order errors.
Some original scans and maps may be difficult to read or may have incomplete searchable text.
