Gosh WOW Galium  :o  :o  :o

Thank you so much for all your hard work here.  Will definately chase up the information you have provided.

Let me know when you have nothing to do, I have now received another marriage certificate and have another problem to solve  ;D

Hi

This is still a puzzle.  I received Susan Mary Stokes birth certificate and yes she is the one born Rugby district 20th March 1897. Father Edward Stephen Stokes railway labourer and mother was Hannah Smith.

I have now made contact with the lady who had Emma Stokes in her tree.  She is as stuck as I am.  Emma was Susan's sister and it looks like the Edward Stephen who died young in Rugby was their brother.

This contact thinks Edward Stephen Stokes was born 1863 and died 1925.  Edward married Hannah in Uppingham, Rutland in 1893.

I'm really hoping I don't have to pay for their marriage certificate.  I'm doing this tree for someone and have set a moderate fee, I don't really want to be out of pocket once I have gone as far as I can. 

There is an Edward Stephen Stokes born Whissendine Rutland who looks like he might fit the bill (there is also one born Derbyshire). Parents Joseph Stokes born 1832 and Mary Stokes born 1837, they fit in and that Edward has a sister Emma and a sister Susan.  But it all goes pear shaped as later on there seems to be another Edward born in the family.

Sorry this is a little long winded.  Can someone just take a look at the 1871 RG10; Piece: 3300; Folio: 135; Page: 21  and follow the family and see if they can make any sense of it. 

Still cannot find Edward/Hannah/Susan on 1891 1901 1911 or Emma on the 1901 or 1911.

Forgot to mention.  On Susan Mary's birth certificate her place of birth is Stillinton Warwicks RD.  Cannot find a Stillinton even though it is very clearly written on two places on her certificate.

Any offers please
Thanks
Joan

Me again

Just realised this post is still under Wales.  Is there any way I can move the WHOLE of the post to Warwickshire?

Here's a list of all the districts covered by the Rugby reg office.

Could it be Shilton?

Hi guys, Edward Stephen stokes was my great granddad and his daughters emma and susan were my great aunties. Edward Stephen stokes was born oct 11 1903 in rutland and died feb 1 1920 of pneumonia. I have 9 of them, including my granddad George henry stokes living at hull in the 1911 census. Emma died in 1977 and susan died in 1960 of cancer. I have many photos, death certificates and birth certificates and more information of the stokes family if you wanna to get in contact and share more stuff. Matthew Wilson.
