The Stanleys of Cross-Hall: genealogy and biographical account (1864)

Description

A genealogical and biographical history of the Cross-Hall branch of the Stanley family, a collateral line of the Earls of Derby. The work traces the Stanley lineage from the 17th century and includes detailed biographical information on family members, including Colonel Thomas Stanley (1749–1818), knight of the shire for Lancashire (1780–1812), who notably sat as chairman of a committee of enquiry in 1805 into the Duke of Atholl's claims for further remuneration as former proprietor of the Isle of Man. This parliamentary reference is directly relevant to the Revestment project.
