The Family Tree of Father Benjamin Standish

(order of St. Benedict)

descendant of the Standish of Standish Family of the Burgh at Duxbury?

2. Elizabeth Standish (b.14th May 1795-Ince Wigan Lancashire)

Over many generations the ancestors of Father Benjamin Standish stated their claim to be descended from the Standish Family of Duxbury. Their claim of descent from the Standish Family of Duxbury is identical to the claims made by the descendants of Myles Standish in America and equally both claims are unproven by a lack of official documentation. John Vincent Standish born 21^st of December 1860 in Preston Lancashire is a cousin of Father Benjamin Standish and in common with Benjamin was a Roman Catholic priest whose Church name was Father Clement Standish. On the death of John Vincent Standish (Father Clement Standish) 23^rd March 1941 his obituary clearly stated that on his father's side he was related to the Standish family of Duxbury Hall, Chorley.

Obituary John Vincent Standish 23rd March 1941 (Fr Clement Standish).

Fr Clement Standish was born at Preston on December 21st, 1860 and received in Baptism the names of John Vincent. On his father's side he was related to the Standish family of Duxbury Hall, Chorley, and on his mother's side to the Worsleys of Salmesbury and Brindle. He was in the School from 1872 to 1880 and his name appears in the Prize Lists for Drawing and Music. On leaving the School he entered the novitiate at Belmont and took the name Clement at his clothing out of respect for his relative Fr Clement Worsley, an old Amplefordian and the builder of St John's Priory, Bath. In 1884 he returned to Ampleforth and in the following year Fr Anselm Burge became Prior and almost at once began a new policy with regard to the school which gave it a new charter by which it could free itself from various out of date customs and assert its right to fall into line with the Public Schools. After his Ordination in 1887 Fr Clement was appointed Prefect of Studies and held that position throughout Prior Burge's administration. The task was no easy one for many changes had to be made but with his superior's support and full confidence and with all his own manly vigour and determination he set to work to carry out Prior Burge's wishes and for eleven years he held the position more like a modern headmaster than the old time Prefect. In later years he was wont to admit that milder treatment would have been more advisable in many cases.

As Choir Master and Organist he was very successful in pleasing everybody and gained a reputation both in and outside his monastery. Some of his compositions are still very popular and his arrangement of the Prayer of Jeremias for Tenebrae is by now an old and popular tradition.

When Prior Smith succeeded Prior Burge all the officials were changed. Everyone admired the humility of Fr Clement in relinquishing his place of honour and the zealous way in which he entered into pastoral work at St Peter's, Liverpool. He showed at once the line he would take to promote the religious life of the Parish. In his district visiting, at the Altar, in the Sacristy, in the Choir he attracted the youth by seeing that everything was well prepared and well executed. There was no resisting his energy and commanding personality.

In 1900 he was transferred to Workington where he succeeded Fr Elphege Duggan as head priest in 1905. The ceremonial and music and all to do with the reverent and dignified carrying out of the Liturgy were his first care. Equally important for him was the education of the children. His labours in this respect saw their reward in the erection of St Joseph's Schools. Another way in which he gained the affection of his people was by bringing to their parish many well known Catholic leaders. Cardinal Bourne preached at the Jubilee of the Church and was given a civic reception by the Municipality.

Fr Clement's kindness and care for his assistants and his hospitality to all the priests of West Cumberland, his appreciation and gratitude to anyone in the town and parish who did anything for him, won for him a devotion and affection that was fully demonstrated at the celebration of his Golden Jubilee in 1937. His superiors had already shown their appreciation of his worth and work by granting him the titular dignity of Cathedral Prior of Worcester.

In 1938 failing health forced him to resign the responsible position of head priest. From that date onwards he bore his sufferings patiently and cheerfully until his death on Sunday, March 23rd, 1941, in the eighty-first year of his age and the fifty-fourth of his Priesthood. Nearly all the town of Workington attended his funeral and the parish jealously saw to it that his body should remain with them. May he rest in the peace of God after his many labours for God

As a consequence of the above letter in October 2003 Father Benjamin Standish had his Dna tested over 25 Markers with known male descendants of Myles Standish in America. Family Tree DNA of Huston Texas USA carried out the Dna test. A 23 out of 25 Marker match was achieved between Father Benjamin Standish and the descendants of Myles Standish in America. In 2004 Family Tree DNA stated the results as -:

* It should be noted that in 2008 DNA tests are carried out over 67 Markers.

Norman's Dna was tested against Father Benjamin's Dna with a 23/25 Marker result.

Standish Family of the Pele Duxbury, Lancashire.

Family Connections in London - Dublin - Wigan?

The Reverend William Ball – Wright of Dublin Ireland conclude in his research (1890) into the Standish Family of Ireland (descended from the Standish Family of the Pele at Duxbury Lancashire England) that a possible family connection existed between the Irish Standish Family and Jonathan Standish who married Margaret Wood of Wigan Lancashire England in1685.

The Reverend William Ball-Wright of Dublin concluded that the Jonathan Standish recorded marrying Margaret Wood of Wigan on January 1^st 1685 (entry in the parish registers of the Church of All Saints Wigan Lancashire) was the son of John Standish (of Greyfriars London) a descendant of the Standish Family of the Pele at Duxbury. This conclusion by the Reverend William Ball-Wright opens up the possibility of a connection (as a result of the marriage in 1685 between Jonathan Standish and Margaret Wood) with Henry Standish born 1743 in Ince the parish of Wigan being the earliest known ancestor of Father Benjamin Standish and thus could establish Benjamin’s family connection with the Standish Family of the Pele at Duxbury?

The parish registers of the Church of All Saints Wigan Lancashire England relate to the appropriate period of time and the place of residence for the Jonathan Standish referred to in the research of Reverend William Ball-Wright of Dublin and also the ancestors of Father Benjamin Standish.

The parish registers of the Church of All Saints Wigan 1580 to 1710.

 The parish registers of the Church of All Saints record the baptism of a Jonathan Standish 29^th February 1651 the son of John Standish of Whitley Wigan Lancashire. This is the first entry for the name Jonathan Standish. The next entry for the name Jonathan Standish is recorded on the 1^st of January 1685 when Jonathan Standish marries Margaret Wood. There are four entries for the baptisms of the children of Jonathan Standish 1687 Mary – 1688 Frances – 1692 Margaret and on the 6^th of June 1696 John a son to Jonathan Standish but sadly immediately after this entry the next entry records the death of Margaret wife of Jonathan Standish.

The balance of probability would suggest that the Jonathan Standish baptised 29^th February 1651 the son of John Standish of Whitley Wigan Lancashire was also the same Jonathan Standish that married Margaret Wood on the 1^st of January 1685.The above entries in the name Jonathan Standish recorded in the parish registers of the Church of All Saints Wigan Lancashire are the only entries made in the name “Jonathan Standish” between the years 1580 – 1710.The conclusion of a family connection between the Jonathan Standish who married Margaret Wood in 1685 and the John Standish of Greyfriars London / Standish Family of the Pele at Duxbury is not confirmed by the entries in the parish registers of the Church of All Saints.

The Parish Churchof All Saints Wigan Lancashire England.

The Parish Church of All Saints is the oldest church in Wigan, but the actual date of its establishment is uncertain. It is possible that the earliest church was built in the time of Edward the Confessor but it was certainly in existence before 1199 when Ranulf is recorded as being the first known Rector.

The Parish of Wigan, for many years, covered a large area, including Pemberton, Billinge, Winstanley, Orrell, Upholland, Dalton, Ince, Hindley, Abram, Haigh and Aspull. It covered and area of 29,033 acres, and until the foundation of a chapel at Upholland by Sir Robert de Holland in 1307, Wigan parish Church was the only church in the area.

Since 1880, Wigan has been in the Diocese of Liverpool, but in previous years it has been part of the dioceses of York, Lichfield and Chester.

The present building dates from 1845, when the church was rebuilt, very much in the same style as the building it replaced. The work was completed in 1850.

Lancashire Archives DDKE/958/31 16th February 1683.

In the year 1683 William Standish of Wigan writes a letter to secure business for the Standish family stationary business in Preston Lancashire.

James Standish was born in Wigan Lancashire in 1827 he is the father of John Vincent Standish born 21^st of December 1860 in Preston Lancashire they are cousins of Father BenjaminStandish.

John Vincent Standish in common with Benjamin was a Roman Catholic priest.

The birth certificate of John Vincent Standish in 1860 shows his father to be a Law Stationer in Preston Lancashire.

Father Benjamin Standish a descendant of the Standish Family of thePele or Burgh at Duxbury Lancashire?

Father Benjamin Standish is a descendant of the Standish family of Ince in the Parish of Wigan Lancashire and his family tree is absolute from Henry Standish of Ince in 1743. The William Standish of Wigan who wrote a letter in 1683 regarding the family stationary business in Preston Lancashire could most probably be an ancestor of Benjamin.

The ancestors of Father Benjamin Standish are prominent Catholics.

The Standish family of the Burgh at Duxbury were also prominent Catholics.

The Standish family of the Pele at Duxbury were Church of England – Puritan.

The Standish family of the Burgh at Duxbury were the owners of land and property in Ince parish of Wigan Lancashire they also had close connections with the Ince family.

Civil War - Sequestration Proceedings 1654.
This document which is contained on five sheets of foolscap concerns the allowance of a lease of several lands to Richard Ashton, Thurston Standish and others in Sequestration Proceedings against Thomas Ince. At the commencement is a recital of an order of the Court dated 27th May 1651, and the body of the document contains a record of the depositions of a number of witnesses who were called before the Court to substantiate the claim for the allowance. It is alleged that the lands were conveyed as security for monies due from the said Thomas Ince and remained owing at the date of his death which according to the evidence of one William Glover, took place a month or so prior to the 28th of March 1654.

Henry Standish born1743 in Ince Parish of Wigan Lancashire is the earliest recorded ancestor of Father Benjamin Standish. The Standish family of the Burgh at Duxbury Lancashire were the principle branch of the Standish family owning Land and property in Ince. The claim made by many generations of ancestors of Father Benjamin Standish that their line of descent was from the Standish family of Duxbury Lancashire ( the same claim made by many generations of descendants of Myles Standish) is on the balance of probability correct if the line of descent is from the Standish family of the Burgh in Duxbury Lancashire. Thus the male DNA of Father Benjamin Standish would be that of the House of Standish of Standish direct from Sir Alexander Standish Lord of the Manor of Standish 1468 to 1507.

Thurston Standish of the Burgh in Duxbury is said to be the second son of Sir Alexander Standish  Lord of the Manor of Standish  1468 - 1507  and younger brother of Ralph Standish Lord of the Manor of Standish 1507 - 1538.
