Looks to me like Stanislawow Stadrolonek but unfortunately that is not 
really of help to you since I cannot find that place either.

It might help to see more of the scan so that handwriting of the different 
letters could be compared.  Regardless of what it ends up being, there does 
not appear to be any suffixed Stanislawow in Poland that comes even close 
to whatever the letter combinations are.

Your Rawa location could be a fit, depending on what is meant in your 
family history by "near".  Certainly, places up towards Rawa are in 
Piotrkow province so if being in that region is what is meant by "near", 
then it could fit.

The problem is that there are several Stanislawow in the Piotrkow 
province..  One is at about 20/01 and 51/05 and low and behold there is 
Studzieniec just a few km to the NE.  Then there is another at about 19/54 
and 51/29 and there, just a km NE is Studzianki.  And you already found 
Stanislawow Studzinski at about 22/04 and 51/41, with another Studzianki a 
couple of km to the SE.

Finally, I don't see any St-d . . .    (substitute any vowel after the t) 
or St-b......   places in Poland that could possibly be a match.
