Who is Francis Stainforth?
The Reverend Francis John Stainforth was an early British philatelist and the Perpetual Curate of All Hallows Staining church in London where Mount Brown compiled large parts of his catalogue. The church was believed to be the one mentioned by Charles Dickens in Dombey & Son. Stainforth was a former Captain in the Bengal Cavalry before being ordained in 1830 and licensed 5 December 1851.
Philatelic sources and Stainforth's death certificate all give his forenames as Francis John, however, an 1894 work by the Rev. A. Povah records his names as Frederick J.
