You might do better taking your question to the Durham board as that was where your family was from.

Janis, thank you for the 1841 census info, and the info on Robert Stokoe i did not know of him. This is an obit from Canton Illinois of Jane Stokoe Brown, it tells the story of the familys migration to Farmington Illinois.

REF: Canton Daily Ledger, Saturday Sept. 2, 1933 Pg-1
 DEATH TAKES OLD CANTON RESIDENT
 Canton lost one of its oldest residents yesterday afternoon with the death at 1 o'clock of Mrs. Jane Brown, 94 who died at her home 656 East Elm St., where she had lived for the past 60 years. Death was attributed to complications arising from old age. She was ill two weeks.
 The last of a family of 12 children, Mrs. Brown also out lived her husband and their 5 children. She is survived by a grandson, Harry of California, and by several nephews and a niece in Farmington.
 On July 22, 1880, she was among those who heard Fulton County's first pipe organ dedicated in the Congregrational Church. Mrs. Brown joined the Baptist church 60 years ago, was a member of the Dorcas class, and attended services regulary until 5 years ago.
Mrs. Brown was the third of 12 children, was born March 14, 1839 in Yorkshire, England. Her mother, the youngest in a family of 16 children, was Miss Anne Elizabeth Herd, before her marriage to James Stokoe.
                         Trip on the Canal Boat
 In the fall of 1852, Mr and Mrs. Stokoe, their daughter Jane and six younger brothers and sisters sailed from South Eaton, England, to New York City. Their sailing vessel made the crossing in 21 days, a record at that time. Arriving in New York in October, the family later went to Chicago and boarded a canal boat for Peoria. At Peoria, a covered wagon and horses were purchased for the laborious overland journey to Farmington, the home of Mr. Stokoes sister and brother-in-law.
 On June 24, 1864, in Farmington, the marriage of Jane Stokoe and James W. Brown was solemnized. In the following February the couple came to Canton. For several years Mr. Brown was employed at the P&O shop, then only a small structure covering part of one block. He died in 1874, leaving her with 5 children.
 Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon at the Murphy Memorial Home, with the Dr. E. A. Gilmore in charge. Burial will be in Greenwood Cemetery. friends may call at Murphy's.

Whitley Chapel to St. Helen:

Ann Stokoe baptised 7 Feb 1819 d/o John and Ann
Margaret Stokoe baptised 29 Jul 1821 d/o John and Ann
Hannah Stokoe baptised 29 Mar 1829 d/o John and Hannah (probably Ann)

I didn't see any more nor find any burials of children from 1821 to 1829.  It is a rather large gap between kids.

Hi Brenda,
Margaret J Stokoe was my great great great great grandmother.  I have a little bit of info on her if you are still interested.
She was from Hexham, Northumberland, England.  Her father was William Stokoe.  She married George Burdess.  They had Anthony Burdess who married Hannah Davison.  They had a son George Burdess.  Not sure who George married but he went on to have a son Anthony who married Mary Logan from Scotland.  They changed Burdess to Bourdess and moved to Pennsylvania.  Are you kin?

Hello All-
Firstly, what a lot of Stokoes there are around the Hexham area!!  If we can all get back early enough we'll likely find we're all related to each other.  This definitely seems to be a locative surname at one point in time.

Sarah - George Burdess and Margaret Stokoe are my direct ancestors through their son George born in 1797.  But we do have differences in our info:

Margaret Stokoe's father is listed as Thomas Stokoe on the christening record of her daughter Elizabeth (Betty) in 1809.  I have another contact who insists her father is William but has no proof, do you have any?  I'd love to know for sure.

I have Anthony Burdess listed as marrying Dorothy Nesham in Houghton le Spring on 15 Feb 1819.  Interestingly one of the witnesses was a William Davison.  Anthony started out as a coal miner, but by the 1861 census was a grocer and beer seller then a licensed victualler.  Does this part match with what you have?  I also don't have a son called George listed for them.

I do have other Burdess children emigrating to the US, initially to Pennsylvania (did they join your family there?) before settling in Ohio.

I'm very, very interested to find out more and swap info with you, I'll send you a pm with my email address.

Regards,
Brenda

Some information in one of my antique books on Northumberland.

'Northumberland its history, its features and its people'  author Rev. James Christie published 1893.

On pg 147 of the book under the heading "Sally The Mugger" Christie mentions one James Stokoe who was born near Capheaton and Stokoe is described as a typical Northumbrian both in physique and utterance.

Stokoe also gave Christie some information about the pitmen of the area. James said;

"When I was a young man I used to go mowing in summer from one place to another, and on one occasion I stayed with an old woman at Greenside whose husband was a pitman."

Later he said, "I have seen the pitmen coming home from the toon (Newcastle) in their double horse carriages on Saturday nights" and this reference was dated to the 70s, by which that will have meant the 1870s.

I collect and offer for sale Victorian/Edwardian memorabilia and have come across a postcard which may be of value to you in your research;

The postcard belongs to Miss Violet Stokoe, born around 1898.

The postcard can be viewed  at http://www.theheritagemine.com/d.aspx/$item-details/Miss-Violet-Stokoe?itemID=94

I have researched the postcard and found the following connections which, I believe, may be associated with your ancestor.

The postcard was addressed to:

Miss  Violet Stokoe
Woodhead farm
Hedley
Stocksfield-on-Tyne
Northumberland
UK

My research revealed the following information;

Card in poor condition. Tear to one side. Stamp removed.

In the 1901 census Edward Stokoe (46, Traction Engine driver) was living in Village Street Hedley with wife Martha(30) and children Violet, 4 and Thomas, 3 weeks old.

Hope this helps.
