Notes for Anna Phipps Boileau
In May 2010 Myles Earle sent me some information about this Anna and her husband Richard Stainforth. It seems to be well researched and reliable.
Notes for Richard (Spouse 1)
From 801.
Richard Stainforth was born in Pontefract, Yorkshire on the 30th of September, 1839. He is shown in the 1851 Census as a student at Rossell Hall School, Fleetwood, Lancashire.
Richard was gazetted as an Ensign in the 56th Bengal Native Infantry on 20 June 1857, one month following the out break of the Indian Mutiny at Meerut. As part of his 56th Bengal Native Regiment had mutinied at Cawnpore on the 5th of June, Ensign Stainforth was attached to other regiments during the early part of the Indian Mutiny . He was present at the actions of Akberpore and taking of Lucknow by Lord Clyde, in March 1858 and the actions of Nawabgunge and Barabunki under Sir Hope Grant.
He was promoted to Lieutenant on 18 May 1858. He was present with the Rifles on the banks of Ramgunga, and the fight at Kawab Pass, under Brigadier Horsford , in whose despatch he was mentioned in March 1859. Richard is shown in the 1859 Bengal Army List as a Lieutenant in the 56th B.N.I. and as doing duty as the Adjutant of the District Police, Oude.
Richard Stainforth received the Indian Mutiny medal with clasp for Lucknow, named to him as an Ensign in the 3rd Battalion, Rifle Brigade. Interestingly, he is shown on the Indian Mutiny medal roll of the 3rd Battalion Rifle Brigade without the normal notation of “ doing duty with ” as was usually the case with HEIC officers serving with British regiments during the Indian Mutiny , nor is such notation made on the naming of his medal as is also usually the case.
Lieutenant Stainforth was married to Anna Phipps Boileau. They had one daughter and one set of twins , the twins dying in infancy. Their daughter lived to adulthood, married and had one son, who was killed in action during the Great War .
Lieutenant Stainforth died in 1865 at the age of 26. His Indian Mutiny medal was the only campaign medal he received. His medal is accompanied by numerous pieces of original ephemera regarding the Indian Mutiny . [The spellings used in the descriptions are those used by Richard Stainforth on the originals.]
