when i joined sparkstopper expressed an interest in my weston/stokes line.my 3x greatgrandfather was samuel weston whos son john (1850-1920)and wife dinah had a son john (1896-1974) who was my maternal grandfather.the first johns death was registed from my grandmas house(15 worcester street stourbridge) she was florence weston nee rowberry.
after ww1 he returned having lost a brother and witnessed lord knows what and admitted himself into barnsley hall asylum in 1931 ish where he remained until his death.
have seen samuels grave in gallery and have visited it myself.
my stokes line begins with my grandma minnie whose parents were albert stokes(1870-1922) and mary cartwright.his father was alexander(1843-1913) who married frances isabella johnson .their marriage records state that his father was george stokes who i can find no details on apart than he married sarah coley whose line i have traced to 1735. sarah was already widowed on 1851 census i think so have trouble finding much else about him.
hope that makes sense to someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Hi 'Oscar'
Thanks for the info: on Stokes line. HOWEVER, according to my records and BCC. John WESTON(1850-1920)
Marriage looked up at Archives by Jan:...His father was John WESTON b.abt 1920(Chainmaker) not Samuel
as stated by you. John was Samuel's younger brother. How sure are you of your info:
Sparks....

thanx all you lot are good!!!!!!!!!!!!
got some of info posted thanx for 1841 i did look that up but for some reason could never find it.withn approx dob should be able to track down his baptism which was going to be my next brick wall after i sorted the charles griffiths conundrum
will look up witnesses to marriage now pop back later
thanx again

I can recheck that marriage Sparks?

Oscar sent you some pms re BCC

oh lordy wot a mess did my weston research bout 4 years ago thro ancestry obviously someone there made a boo boo so can we get this straight so i can alter my tree
my grandfather was john weston 1893-1972
my g grandfather was john weston married to dinah kendall 1850 1920(informant of death my grandmother florence 15 worcester st)
my gg grandfather was john weston (dont have dates) married to elizabeth davies younger brother of samuel who i thought was my gg grandfather?
sorry bout that folks feel really stupid now after 5 years of research cant thank you enough for putting me straight

If you live near the archives Oscar you really need to verify anyone's
research yourself as mistakes can be made.

We try to steer clear of just adding others research without verifying it
all the members will back me in that

but it is easy to make a mistake even when you do the look ups
so where possible get certifs and look at the actual records yourself

now Sparks if you add that marriage for look up I will check it

was a bit naive back then have been to archives but bit of a long way from where i now live

There must have been a query prev as I have specifically made a note on it re father John
wits are this couple John Southall and Mary Southall
looks like sister Mary WEston
