The above whom I know nothing about married Ella nee Woodgate (born Q1 1924) Q2 1944 Hailsham, Sussex, England. It appears that Ella died In Scarborough, Ontario 4 Jan 2000 and is buried at Saint Margaret's in the Pines Cemetery. There is no mention of Francis on the gravestone.
Her obituary is in the Toronto Star Obituaries, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 1999 - April 2000, February 2001.
Maybe he is still alive?

Thank you all very much, you've come up trumps as usual. Just a few more questions: were the children all born in Toronto and what the dobs for Francis William and Catherine Morris?

Catherine Morris Napolis (nee Stokes) appears to have been born 24 January 1939
Perhaps Francis A Stokes had married previously.....................???? Food for thought :)

According to the obit of Frank William Stokes (1996) he was the nephew of Ellen Gower.
In the obit of Ella Stokes she was the sister in law Ellen Gower. (was alive 2000)
This is the only one that Ive found at the moment who fits someone of the right age. Needs verified.

Thank you very much Sandra for finding that Francis was previously married, and, which makes the birth in 1939 of Catherine Morris Napolis (nee Stokes) not a direct ancestor of mine. I'm only interested in my direct ancestors/relations from Ella Woodgate's marriage to Francis. If you can find out when Francis William and his wife Patricia Wright were born that would complete the topic.

Each province and territory has records for different years, as well as their own rules concerning access. However........ Birth records are released to the public after 104 years so unfortunately are not available for the time frame you require.
From google :- Birth records are released to the public after 104 years, marriages after 82 years, and deaths after 72 years. The following dates are open to the public: Birth registrations: 1869-1917. Marriage registrations: 1801-1942.
