    3. Trish, Firstly, search the Worcester List Archives for any other posts for Stokes. Then Google Hugh Wallis and follow the prompts to Worcestershire and then Rock. Click on the christening batches and search using the Stokes surname. You'll find Stokes entries back to early 1700's. The challenge is sorting them into families. If you Google Rootsweb and look at Family Trees using Stokes and Rock, you find a number of submissions. Just work through those ignoring Rock in Wisconsin. If you have an Ancestry subscription, you can check there for family trees as well. You don't say when Jane and Samuel Hollis emigrated. They may appear in 1841 or 1851 census. Check there as well for other family members. Another option is to simply Google names using quotation marks. That should give you something to work on. I presume you've explored Trove newspapers, military records, and electoral rolls for subsequent generations in Australia. Peter in Sydney
