Find Ancestors

Thanks to all who helped find Arthur Edward Stanley the other day.

This time I've lost his brother John Thomas Stanley, born 1866 in Grimsbury, Northants.
Where is he in 1881, please?

I'm assuming he's in Burton-on-Trent, but can't find him.

(I'm just trying to tidy up a few loose ends in the Stanley line - their sister Mary Ann was my maternal gr-grandmother.)

His birth:
