Re William Stokes B. 1852 @ Kingswinford (Son of John Stokes and Elizabeth nee Beddard) and Eliza Ann Bould B. 1863 @ Tunstall (Dau of Richard Stonier Bould and Phoebe nee Booth).
William and Eliza Ann are recorded as the parents of Mary Beatrice Stokes B. 1884 Samuel Richard Stokes B. 1886 and William Stokes B. 1888 (All born at Stafford, Staffs).
I can not find a marriage between William and Eliza Ann but have found a marriage between Eliza Ann and a William Smith B abt 1855 (Father George Smith) @ Stafford in 1882. I have confirmed that it is the same Eliza Ann Bould.
I can not find a confirmed death of William Smith Bet 1882 and 1884 ( when 1st Stokes child born)
William Stokes died in Stafford Infirmary in 1890 - the informant was a Phoebe Banks - the married named of the sister of Eliza Ann.
Eliza Ann married again in 1892 to a George Burgess, on the marriage certificate Eliza An used th surname Stokes.
Any supportive information re William Strokes and Eliza Ann would be appreciated.
There are census returns showing Eliza and George and the three above Stokes children living together in Tunstall.
The 2nd child, Samuel Richard was my great grandfather, my mother does remember his mother Eliza as "Grandma Burgess"
