Stan's brother is Doctor Henry Bearbury, a General Practitioner well respected by all his patients. Always keen to keep up to date with the latest treatments, he periodically goes for supplementary training in the knowledge that he works with a group of highly competent colleagues more than capable of filling in whilst he's away. He spent time at the Greybear Clinic in Central Sylvania where they validate less conventional medical methods.
Henry is married to Yvonne and they have a son Oliver, a daughter Angeles and younger daughters called Hayley and Harriet. They live at a house adjoining Minestrone House, a large apartment complex that Henry owns. It provides accommodation for primarily unattached residents within Mellowdene. Originally conceived as accommodation for the hospital staff, it is now open to others. It is a happy community, and includes rooms for members of Captain Seadog's motley crew when required.
The Bearburys are friendly with their neighbours - the Marmalade family live next door to Stan and Olive - and due to work commitments it is not unusual that they share caring duties.
Stan and Henry's brother Bruno is not afraid of getting his paws dirty with heavy gardening, tinkering with engines and as he is happy to help with the maintenance of Minestrone House he decided to live there for convenience. As such, he is often seen wearing bright yellow dungarees - "it helps people find me, and it's a cheerful colour," he says.
