I have seen some posts on here dated several year back but would like to respond. To those searching for Isaiah Stokes and his wife Emma. I have the following connection.
My Great Grandmother Emily Augusta Loy was the daughter of Samuel Loy and Rebecca Stokes. Amongst her siblings was Wentworth William Loy b 1857 d. 1863 and Wentworth Johnston Loy b 1844.I see the name Wentworth Stokes appeared in past posts so there must be a link.
SAmuel Loy was in the British Army and the National Archives have his records.
William Stokes b Monaghan 1833 d 1916 also ex Army was buried in Ainsworth near Bury Lancashire, in the churchyard where Emily A Farrington nee Loy and her daughter Emily A Barlow nee Farrington my grandmother. His gravestone recently removed stated that he was Sergeant Major 38 years in the RFA.
Any one with links or further information?
Isaiah Stokes and wife Emma Spear
