Hello Tony.----- Original Message ----- In the 1851 census at Bromley,Middx. (8 Carter Street) there was :- Samuel Wilson, 28, labourer, b.Brixworth,Northants with his wife Ann, 36, b.Stoke Goldington,Bucks. (just north of Newport Pagnell & now in Milton Keynes) and seven children including a George age 8 (b.843/44?) at Stoke Goldington. In 1861 the family had moved to Finsbury,Middx. (9 Hull(?) Street). George was 18, a carman I think, and there were five other children all born after 1851 census. I can't see any likely George in 1871 and there is nothing really to indicate that this George was your gt.grandfather. I can't see Samuel & Ann's marriage either. FreeBMD starts in Sept.1837.

Alas we do not know the names of his parents or siblings but even knowing the names of the various "Stokes" is a real breakthrough and to already have a couple of possibilites is very heartening indeed. I can assure you, not all lists are as forthcoming as the Bucks group and for that I am most thankful. Tony Mooar in chilly Christchurch NZ - altho I did notice today that the helebores have come through the frosts so Spring cannot be too far away.
