If you purchase the marriage cert, you will find out his age - and his father's details

What was the SON's name? You need to give all the info, Karen, if we are to help you properly

somerset girl i think you have found their marriage which is far more than i could do im so very grateful

The 1926 death is this chap from 1911 - so the rules him out

STOKES, Edward Stephen Head Married M 46 1865 Farmer Riddings Derbyshire VIEW
STOKES, Mary Wife Married

i have no idea flick ... at all i dont know where either of them originate fro.. there was talk that maybe hannah came from lemington spa but iv found no leads.. thought she may have been born 1880 but if they got married in 1893 this would be unlikely

george henry stokes born 25/10/1903 in horbury wakefield york.. and i will purchase the marriage cert.. just need to locate uppington.. thanks flick

Uppington is a village in the English county of Shropshire. It lies in the civil parish of Wroxeter and Uppington.

The marriage was in UppingHAM district

The district Uppingham spans the boundaries of the counties of Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland

The 1911 posted by Somersetgirl would seem to be your family - any thoughts?

I wonder if this is Charley?

OK - been checking

The birth in 1863 in Oakham matches the info on 1911 - Whissendine is in OAKHAM district
