The entries for people & families with the surname Stansfield are gathered together in this SideTrack.
This Page does not include people with other forms of the surname.
There are many people with this surname, and it is possible that there are duplicate entries for an individual. If you discover any such duplicates, please email me and I shall correct them.
All people with the surname Stansfeld or Stansfield who trace their ancestors back to Calderdale, originate from the one family, and the first member of this family to have the surname was John de Stansfeld.
This family's original surname was Stansfeld and this spelling seemed to predominate until around 1550, then the name changed from Stansfeld through Stansfeild to finally settle as Stansfield. This change also occurred to other surnames ending in ...feld.
In the 17th century, to differentiate themselves from the rest, the Sowerby branch of the family decided to revert to the original Stansfeld, and their descendants retain that spelling to the present day.
Being an ancient family, the Stansfields have a great number of descendants, and frequently inter-married with other local families.
The various researchers have contributed generously to the entries here, though their versions of the names, dates and relationships of these descendants may conflict at some point.
Although there may be some errors / inaccuracies, the information here will give the general reader some idea of who the family were and what they achieved through the generations

The Stansfeld or Stansfield family built and lived at Stansfield Hall, Todmorden and took their surname from Stansfield.
The Stansfeld of Stansfield Hall Pedigree states that ...
Wyon Maryons was the founder of the family and his son, Jordan, was the first to bear the surname
In fact, the family is pre-Norman, and the first member of the family to have the name was John de Stansfeld.
There are several branches of the family. One branch lived at Hartshead Hall from about 1435, having moved from Stansfield Hall, possibly, it has been said, in order to be nearer to their contacts in Wakefield.
Timothy Stansfeld moved to London and started a branch in New Cross, Surrey.
They were major landowners in the Triangle when the turnpike was constructed, and Stansfield mill was constructed in the early 19th century.

Elias de Stanesfeld is recorded in 1238.
All people with the surname Stansfeld or Stansfield who trace their ancestors back to Calderdale, originate from the one family, and the first member of this family to have the surname was John de Stansfeld.
This family's original surname was Stansfeld and this spelling seemed to predominate until around 1550, then the name changed from Stansfeld through Stansfeild to finally settle as Stansfield. This change also occurred to other surnames ending in ...feld.
In the 17th century, to differentiate themselves from the rest, the Sowerby branch of the family decided to revert to the original Stansfeld, and their descendants retain that spelling to the present day.
John Stansfeld in his History of the Stansfeld Family records over 40 different spellings of the surname.
Contributor Joanne Backhouse has found 63 different ways in which the name has been recorded between 1300 and 1600.
