     The name Stanser and its variations may be derived from Stancill, a township in the parish of Tickhill in the West Riding of Yorkshire which had a population of 66 in 1831. In 1822 it was 2 farm houses, 2 miles from Tickhill. It was united with Wellingley and Wilsic to form a township with a population of 54.

The registers of Thorpe Salvin are extant from 1592, but their marriage is the first Stanser (and variants) entry. Note that Gervase, etc. is a very popular name in Thorpe Salvin.
