I'm also looking for connections to Stokoes. My 3 x g grandfather was James Stokoe of Wellhope, Allendale (b. abt 1785) and his son, John b.22.11.1813 in Rockhouse, Haltwhistle died at Black Cleugh, Allendale on 12.12.1860. He was married to Ann Nattrass and when widowed married Elizabeth Dixon. John and Elizabeth had 9 children, one of whom was my g.grandfather, Thomas b.4.9.1855. On the 1881 census, Elizabeth is living with son, Thomas, a railway signalman, at Pandon, Haydon. My aunt, now nearly 90, confirms the family originates in the Haydon Bridge area.
Anyone connected or knows who James Stokoe of Allendale was married to? Her first name appears to be Isabella. James had at least 3 sons, James, John and Edward and a daughter, Isabella.
