Thomas and Elizabeth STOKES
« on: Wednesday 01 June 11 18:57 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find the maiden name of Elizabeth Stokes (born Pickwick 1811).  She lived in Corsham and her husband was Thomas Stokes (born 1797).

Grandparents grew up in Oldfield Park & Twerton Hill, Bath & Southstoke, just south of Bath.
Earlier generations: Southstoke, Combe Down, Monkton Combe, English Combe, Hinton Charterhouse, Lyncombe and Widcombe;
also Bradford on Avon, Corsham, & rural Wiltshire;

If I have the right 1851 entry - she is shown as b Corsham.  Was Thomas a brewer/cooper

Eldest child was 13 in 1851 and youngest was Amelia aged 2 - but 1841 shows eldest child as aged 9 so marriage 1830-1832

A copy of  Amelia's birth cert will give her maiden name

Births September qtr 1849   
Amelia Stokes    Chippenham  8 290
