We have had a query about Samuel Stokes on our BCC tree.
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... kes-Family

The query was that he married Eliza Brooks rather than Sarah Tromans.
I dont agree that we have made a mistake, the marriage info shows witnesses as his sister and futur brother in law.

The one that married Eliza is a painter and glazier and from Shropshire as far as I can see.
If anyone has chance could you just quick check if you think BCC is right.
