Stokes of Nottinghamshire & Gloucestershire
Tweet
Morning all,
I have been asked to help a friend search for their ancestors. So here goes! Reginald Stokes was born 1908 in Nottinghamshire, I believe. He moved to Gloucestershire and married a Violet Hook in 1927. They had 4 children. Reg worked as a skipper on the Severn Carrier until he died in a tragic accident in 1939. Any help in finding out more information about Reg's family would be hugely appreciated. Thanks.gif "(hi)")
