"Completed"Stocks family Waukesha From Yorkshire
« on: Thursday 25 June 09 03:49 UTC (UK) »

Looking for information on Brothers James 1834 and Robert 1837?
Stocks, whose father was Charles William Stocks.  James was born in Polkington Yorkshire, Robert (not sure if Robert is first or second name, birthplace is unknown). Jame's mother was Mary Byass ( Charles' second wife). From the family bible and oral history, I think , there was another brother named Thomas Henry born 1826, that went to Twin cities in America.  The  brothers kept in touch with another brother in Australia, Edward Stocks who came to Australia on the Lord Ashburton in 1849. I know that James and Robert married and my grandfather felt that , that they had married in America. I have found evidence of James and Robert in Waukesha Wisconsin Census. Can anyone add any more information? I do have information on the Stocks family in Pocklington and Burwood Victoria, Australia.

Hi Chrismar:

I don't know how reliable this is, but someone on RootsWeb has:
Robert Stocks, born 5 April 1837, Yorkshire, England
Married Eliza Hewlett
Children:
Mary (Molly) Stocks, born 25 February 1863
Charles Henry Stocks, born 4 March 1868, Ottawa Tn, Waukesha Co, WI

They have additional information about the children.
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi
Stocks, Robert, born Yorkshire
(Nothing for James.  I will have a look around for James.)

Robert is on the 1870, 1880, and 1910 census.  I have not tried variations of his name; he probably can be found on the 1900 as well.  You mention you have found evidence on census, so I will not type details.

1910 census states his year of immigration is 1851.  No immigration date for wife, Eliza? States they had been married 49 years.

Found on the 1870 census, a neighbour of Robert is
James Stocks, age 35, born England, Farmer
Margaret, age 24, born Canada, Keeping House
John C?, age 5, born WI
Mary, age 2, born WI

Thank you for your help and prompt replies.  Some family members had found Charles buried in Pocklington, but not Mary's grave. We know Charles Henry Stocks(Son from Charle's first marriage)married and stayed in England.
It appears Mary(1795) must have left England in 1851 and settled in Wisconsin along with her children Hannah Maria Stocks(1838) Thomas Henry (1826)and Robert(1837). James may have gone to America before 1851. I was told the reason for Edward Stocks coming to Australia was the family home had broken up, this appears to be the case. That Mary Stocks (nee Byass) had left for America is new information to me and I need to check other family members, who have worked on the family tree over the years. I wonder what happened to Hannah Maria Stocks?
