Hello all,

I was doing a bit of searching and found a puzzling entry on the Irish Prison Registers 1790-1924

There is an entry of admisson on 6/10/1888 in Cork Prison for a George Stack/Stokes, born Halifax, England. His offences where drunkeness and desertion. His year of birth was 1859, so 3 years out for my Great x 2 Grandad, but still a possibility.

Thoughts anyone?

Yes, to the best of my knowledge. Only Sister related to John that had children was Sarah, who married Edwin Halliwell.

Hello,

Thanks for the replies. I dont think Ann Taylor is from the Stocks side, I would be 99% certain on that. I would have hoped to find on the Birth Gro search a Ann Taylor born London or in and around London with a mothers surname of Walker or Stocks but neither. I have struggled to find Ann Elizabeth Stocks birth or 1841 census entry, too. Her father is given as William    Walker on both her marriages.  It is annoying as Ancestry and Family search will sometimes show suggestion of possible matches on a later census etc, but not in Ann Taylor's case. I will check out findmypast and see if there are any leads there. Thanks again.
