General Notes
- Born at Dukinfield, just south of Stalybridge, Lancashire (Cheshire on 1851 census). Was 1 month old on 1851 census. Brother Albert was born 2 years later at Hartshead, a few miles north of Staleybridge.
  
  Moved further north to live at 128 Pousy (?) Street, Haslingden, Accrington in 1861
  
  "Saml Edwd Stocks" on 1871 census, living with Sarah Ann Miller and her family in Witton, Cheshire.
  
  Living at 14 Brougham St., Tranmere, Birkenhead in 1881.
  
  Living at 194 Peel Street, Tranmere, Birkenhead (as a single household) in 1891.
  
  Still there in 1901, but away from Sarah Ann, living with Sarah, Samuel and Susannah. He was buried with his brother in 1916, so may have separated.
  
  By 1911, all Samuels children had married (except John who had also left home), so Samuel was lodging with the Ridley family in Chester. Timothy Ridley (Head, aged 53)was a houise Hoiner and his son John Henry a draughtsman, so possibly Samuel was working as part of their family business.
  
  In 1911 (and I asume also in 1916) William Martin Harnman, wife Emily and children Emily (18), Lily (17), William Arthur (15) and George Henry (14) wre living at 33 Sidney St., Lower Tranmere. Probably as the daughters married and left home, they had space for a lodger and Samuel moved in as his final address before he died.
