I have death certificate stating WLR Stokes died age 61 in 1949. This would mean he was born c. 1888. The certificate says he lived in NSW, Australia for 43 yrs and was born in Exeter, UK. This means he arrived around 1906. Both parents are named on the death certificate. However, looking at it again, the writing seems same for Ralph Stokes and as if another person has written William Leonard above the Ralph. The certifcate was issued by NSW BDM and is official.
