Notes:

The family was at Statfold in the 1841 census. Many transcripts transcribe this as Stafford.

" Statfold is a remarkably small parish and manor, three miles NE of Tamworth, containing only five houses, 45 inhabitants, and 450 acres of land, all belonging to Stanley Pipe Wolferstan, Esq, who resides in the Hall, a handsome brick manor, erected in 1571, and having an observatory which commands an extensive prospect. The Wolferstans obtained this manor in marriage with the heiress of the Stanleys, in 1590.
The two farms are occupied by the owner, and James Chiswell is the farming bailiff. "
[From History, Gazetteer and Directory of Staffordshire, William White, Sheffield, 1851]
