Hi
Im looking to find parents of Elizabeth Stokes 1863 born sheffield, her husband is Frank Cousins married in 1888. thank you :)
-
The marriage cert is online and lists her father is listed as Thomas Stokes - Forge Man
Kay
Should have added her age was 27 - so born about 1861
-
FreeBMD does not show any birth registrations for Elizabeth Stokes in 1863 - or did you mean 1873? There is an entry in December quarter 1873 - GRO give mother's maiden name as Hingley.
-
Thank you Kay and its 63 im sure ill double check x
-
After her marriage the 1891 census appears to show her birthplace as possible Scotland? Sadly it looks like she dies pre the 1901 census

Hi
this could be her 1871 39 Bridge St Attercilffe
Thomas Stokes 40 iron puddler Sheffield
Sarah A 39 Wellington Shrops
Thomas 15 iron lab Staff Handley?
Charles 12 Wolverhampton
Elizabeth 10 Wolverhampton
Alice I 3 Wellington Shrops
Mary Dachen? 22 visitor Wellington Shrops
Jabez Guy 26 lodger iron pudler Wellington
Henry Matthews 27 lodger same.
Looks like her mother was a Miss Guy.Marriage Shifnal 9.1.1854
Thomas Stokes full lab Sneeds Hill s of Phillip steel burner
Sarah Guy full Sneeds Hill John Guy miner
wit William Guy and Ellen Brown.
Sarah remarried 6.11.1880 Attercliffe to a Thomas Tetley 50 widower engineer which may be why I can't see Elizabeth 1881.
No sign of Scotland though.
Sorry I was typing while Kay replied but it does look like same family .Odd remarriage .Library about to shut so I can't check.

Well - I am confused. However I think this is family in 1891 that I posted in 1881 - living in Barony, Kelvi. Their daughter Elizabeth is still living with the family so I don't think it can be the Elizabeth Stokes who married Frank Cousins :-\
1891
Thomas Stokes Head 48 1843 Iron worker England
Sarah H Stokes Wife 48 England
Elizabeth Stokes Daughter 28 Mantlemaker England
Mary P Stokes Daughter 26 1865 Dressmaker England
Thomas A Stokes Son 15 Message boy England
John R Stokes Son 13 Message boy England
Emma E Stokes Daughter 12 Scholar England
Samuel F B D Stokes 8 Scholar Wishaw, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Lilly M Stokes Daughter 6 Scholar Wishaw, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Andrew J Stokes Son 5 1Wishaw, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Elizabeth Lee Mother-in-law Widow Female 72 England
Alexander K Maxwell Boarder 21 Civil engineer Dundee, Forfarshire (Angus), Scotland
Added - Will see if the family Ciderdrinker posted can be found in 1881
-

I don't think the family that Ciderdrinker found moved to Scotland
I can see Sarah with her new husband in the 1881 census but no sign of any children and at the moment no sign of daughter Elizabeth
