Hello Wendy Many thanks for your interesting email ..... Ann Charlotte STOKES had two children .... Mary Ann STOKES (age 3 in 1880) William Thomas STOKES (age 2 in 1880) They were living at 76 Irving St (Birmingham) at the home of Mrs. Britain as of March 1880. The mother - Ann Charlotte STOKES - was a purse maker, the children were illegitimate. deserted by father. Mary Ann STOKES (age 3 in 1880) was Shipped to Canada as a Home Child .... William Thomas STOKES (age 2 in 1880) went to Richard Hodgens of London, Middlesex This is a sticky situation to resolve, but the descendants of Ann Charlotte STOKES are very keen to make contact with this family ....

Hi again Maree Seems we can discount the info re Coventry These children are in the MIddlemore Home in the 1881 Census 157 to 161 Lukes Rd Edgbaston RG11/2953/81 Mary A. STOKES aged 3y Scholar Born Birmingham William T STOKES aged 4y Born Birmingham Ages do not agree with your info and there are several possibles on the FreeBMD Index. There is one possible Anne STOKES a miliner living at home in the 1881 census She is aged 23 y and unmarried . There is more information online re the children in the Middlemore Homes and in Canada- if you have not already searched try http://retirees.uwaterloo.ca/~marj/genealogy/children/Organizations/middlemore.html Finding possible relatives in the UK may prove much more difficult unless you can pinpoint Ann Charlotte STOKES in a census record or BMD. She may have died young or married. Genesreunited might be worth a try to contact living relatives. Good hunting Wendy Ann Charlotte STOKES had two children ....
