I have just been reading the following article in the Black Country Bugle and thought that Stokes researchers may be interested.

Could do with William and Janes Marriage, I think this is him pre-marriage:

1851: Rupert? Street, Wednesbury
William Stokes 49 Head Wid Stone Grate Fitter b.West Bromwich
William Stokes 27 Son U Engineer b.Wednesbury
Eliza Muller 25 Dau M b.Wednesbury
Edwar Muller 26 Son In Law M Lab b.Bromley, Staffs
William Muller 2 Nephew b.Bromley, Staffs

In 1861 their oldest child is 5

The only marriage I can find that would fit is ........

Marriages Mar 1853

COX Jane Wolverhampton 6b 493
DUDLEY Benjamin Wolverhampton 6b 493
FELLOWES Mary Ann Wolverhampton 6b 493
STOKES William Wolverhampton 6b 493

What do we think?

Looks good to me
I think this maybe Jane
