    Notes 
    • It appears that William was living in Newcastle in the 1870s. There was a Captain Stannus who sailed from Newcastle in the ship "Berenice" which sunk dramatically in 1872. William Stannus and Captain Stannus cannot have been the same person, as an inquiry noted that Captain Stannus had a Board of Trade certificate dated 20 years earlier, according to newspaper reports, making him too old to be the same person.
