Stokes family of Ocker Hill/Tipton any info
« on: Wednesday 23 November 05 20:45 GMT (UK) »
Anyone with any information on the Stokes family who I believe were miners. My grandfathers father was an Isaac Stokes b.8.1.1863 Ocker Hill and his mother was a Mary Perry b. 1864 Tipton. Any info regarding siblings parents etc would be greatly appreciated.

This looks like Isaac and Mary with their children on the 1901 census:

RG13/4303/101/48 - 12 Love Lane, Castleford, Yorks
Isaac Stokes  Head  38 Coal Miner  b. Tipton
Mary "   Wife 33  b. Tipton
Horace "   Son  15  Pit Pony Driver  b. Sedgley
Frank "  Son  9  b. Castleford
Minnie "  Dau  5  b. Castleford
Harry "  Son  2  b. Castleford

Do I have the right family?
