Stokes: descendents

[homegrandchild]

Hi:
Looking for descendents of Frederick W (abt 1863), George H (abt 1869), Florence E (abt 1860) or Albert E (abt 1879).

Their siblings, my g'father, Walter Lucas, b. 1873 and his sister Maggie (Mary) (abt. 1872) were sent to Canada with Dr. Middlemore's Home Children

Hi:

I'm new at this searchin' job and not as familiar with location names, but I have census and other info that says my Stokes relatives were born/registered at West Bromwich, Sandwell, Dudley, Saltley, Worcester, Birmingham and Warwickshire.

Hi hgc 

I noticed the other threads and don't seem to link in with any of yours at the moment. Mine were mainly Withenhall and Darlaston in Staffs and then St Martins in Shropshire and villages in  adjacent Denbighshire. Others moved to Yorkshire (Wsst Riding) and some to  New Jersey. I have all the descendants of my Stokes 3 x great grandparents until 1901 and about 50% to present day.

I remember when I was doing my searching that there were a considerable number of Stokes in the area.
