Louth / Re: Rev. John Francis Stokes
« on: Saturday 18 February 12 00:45 GMT (UK)  »
His Mother was Mary MCKENNA born in County Louth Ireland in Abt1859 and his Father was James Patrick STOKES also born in Ireland in Abt 1851. The family rumour is that they ran away from Ireland to marry as Mary was the daughter of a rich landowner and James was the stable boy. They left Ireland with Mary's fine crystal and were married in Liverpool in 1878. I have just applied for a copy of their marriage Certificate as they are my 2nd Gt Grandparents. I believe Francis went on to be the Archdeacon of Armagh and I have attached a photograph of him. Please could you advise me of your research? and if I can be of any more help please do not hesitate to get in contact.
