This branch of the Staveleys appears to have died out when William Henry Staveley died a bachelor and intestate on January 3, 1903.

The following article appeared in the London Gazette after William Henry's death in 1903:

Published July 10, 1903

Re WILLIAM HENRY STAVELEY, Deceased.

PURSUANT to an Order of the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice, made in the matter of the estate of William Henry Staveley, deceased, and in an action "Sims against Veale, 1903, S. No. 1647," and dated the 25th May, 1903, the persons claiming to be the heir-at-law or next-of-kin according to the statutes for the distribution of intestates' estates, of William Henry Staveley, late of Fremington House, Reading, in the county of Berks, Surgeon Dentist, living at the time of the death of the said William Henry Staveley, on the 3rd day of January, 1903, are by their Solicitors, on or before the 24th day of October, 1903, to come in and prove their claims at the chambers of Mr. Justice Buckley and Mr. Justice Byrne, at the Royal Courts of Justice, Room No. 293, or in default thereof they will be peremptorily excluded from the benefit of the said Order. Tuesday, the 3rd day of November, 1903, at 12 of the clock noon, at the said chambers, is appointed for hearing and adjudicating upon the claims (if any). The said William Henry Staveley, deceased (who at the time of his death was possessed of some freehold houses in and about the town of Reading), was the only son of William Henry Wackerell Staveley, of Reading aforesaid, Surgeon Dentist, who died on the 27th day of July 1891, and of Frances, his wife.

The said William Staveley was a son of George Staveley, of Bideford aforesaid, Ironmonger, who died on the 31st May, 1837, leaving five sons him surviving, vizt.: the said William Staveley, John Williams Staveley, George Staveley, Henry Staveley, and Charles Staveley, all of whom are mentioned in the will of the said George Staveley, proved in the Exeter Diocesan Registry on the 25th September, 1837. Frances Staveley, the wife of the before named William Henry Wackerell Staveley, and the mother of the said William Henry Staveley, deceased, was daughter of Richard Littleworth Sims, formerly of Reading aforesaid, Carrer and Gilder, who died on the 7th September, 1867.

—Dated this 8th day of July, 1903.
