Stanier was born in Ambleside, Lancashire[1] in 1867, the son of Francis Stanier and Caroline Stanier, sister of General William Clive Justice (1835–1908). He was educated privately then studied at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester, and in 1894 married Constance Gibbons, daughter of the Reverend Benjamin Gibbons. They had four children, including Alexander Stanier, a prominent Army officer.[2] Stanier farmed a 4,000 hectare estate at Peplow Hall, which had been purchased by his father in the 1870s.
During the First World War, Stanier held the rank of captain in the Territorial Reserve, and served as the honorary secretary of the Shropshire Territorial Association, the body that administered military units raised in the county.[2] At the start of the war in 1914, he took on the annual post of treasurer of the Royal Salop Infirmary in Shrewsbury when their preferred candidate had been mobilized to serve abroad.[3]
