Going out on another limb:
I am looking for anyone researching the Stokes family of London. I have managed to connect with a few very good Stokes researchers over the years and was hoping to find a few more.
My Great-great grandparents died in a tragic house fire in London. There was an inquiry made in the courts about the quality of parrafin lamp oil sold in London due to their deaths.
They were:
Montmorency Durant Stokes (1809-1861) married Maryanne Brandon (1824-1861) Mopntmorency's father was John Stokes.
Montmorency and Maryanne had eight children:
Arthur
Montmorency Brandon (b. 1846)
Lydia Stokes (b. 1848) married Samuel Hosking
Adelaide (b.1851)
Katherine (b.1852)
Charles William (b. 1853)
Herbert (1856-1899) married Adelaide Regina Bean
Maryanne (b. 1858)
thank you in advance for your help.

A deceased relative left a written note stating that Montmorency Durant Stokes had two sisters:
Annie married Lord Kerrison.
Mary married Sir Edward Henderson - barrister at law.

Hello,
I am also a desendant, located in Melbourne, Australia.
Having only recently become interested in the family line, I thought you would be interested to know that I have an actual hand written small journal, written by Earnest munro {1910} telling the story of his wife, who apparently was one on the children. The journal detail the story of the fire, & the ongoing story from that point.
Surely it must relate to the same family!
FYI, my middle name is BRANDON, following the family line.
Cheers.

I have a friend here in Oz who is descended from Montmorency Durant Stokes.
This week he put that name in Google and came up with 3 posts from the Rootschat site.
He is new to genealogy research and because I have been a Rootschatter for a few years he has asked me to see if I can contact MooGoo, however as his post was in 2009 I don't hold out much hope.
I have spent some time trying to locate the original posts but can't locate them in the categories I searched.
I am posting this from the Internet results in the hopes of making contact with MooGoo.
Any suggestions from Moderators appreciated

Hi
Try sending a pm to MooGoo. A notification should appear in his/her email saying there is a personal message waiting on Rootschat. It will go to the mail address Rootschat had when MooGoo joined which may not still be the correct one, but worth a try.

Hi MooGoo
Pleased to hear from you.
I will let my friend know that we have made contact and get back to you. I didn't give him a lot of hope that I would be able to link up.
