Death Notes
Died after 7-Apr-1861 census and before 1871 when George was recorded as a Widower in the census, living with his son Albert.
No obvious death for Rebecca Ann Stocks in Lancashire or Yorkshire between 1861-71. In 1861, Rebecca may have started using Ann as her name (see 1861 census). Thereforer, death may be recorded as Ann Stocks.
There is a "Rebecca Ann STORK" death recorded for Huddersfield Q1-1872 (9a, 287) but age is recorded as 1. However, there is no corresponding birth
Deaths Jun 1862 (>99%)
Stocks Rebecca Burnley 8e 120
This is for Rebecca Stocks, wife of Benjamin Stocks, a Carter. This Rebecca died 10 May 1862 at 22 Wood St, Habergham Eaves, Burnley, aged 48. The cause of death was "Apoplexy" (stroke).
As no match for Rebecca, the death was probably recorded as Ann Stocks.
There is a death in 1863 for Ann Robinson at Ashton, aged 39 years. This could be her if Robinson (not Stocks). The burial service was refused! The death record as age 34 not 39, Ashton Town, but this may be a transcription error.
General Notes
Full name is "Rebecca Ann", confirmed by christening record and mothers name on son Albert's birth certificate. She was born at Longwood, about 500m from Leymoor, and also close to Quarmby Cum Lingley.
In 1841, "Rebekah" was living in Ley Moor, Golcar with mother Hannah (45) and half-sister Betty (9).
In 1849, "Rebecca" married and on the 1851 census, but went by the name of "Ann" on the 1861 census, so although Rebecca was her first or official name, she probably went by the name of Ann.
Milnsbridge (spelled "Mills Bridge" on her wedding certificate) was the home of Rebecca Robinson before she was married to George Stocks in 1849. Milnsbridge is just over the railway line from Longwood, where Rebecca was born (according to 1861 census).
Rebecca Robinson (b.1821, age 20) living in Dock Street with James and Mary Stuttard and family. This is the only recorded Rebecca Robinson in Huddersfield in 1841, but her age appears a little old, and this is the wrong person.
Rebekah Robinson (b.1826) is a better match, living with sister Betty (b.1832) and mother Hannah (b.1796) in Golcar.
The 1851 census is a key record: Rebecca was living at 30 Back Grosvenor St., Dukinfield, Stalybridge, Lancashire with George and Son Samuel (1 month old).
In 1856, when their son Walter was born, George and Rebecca were at 57 Grasscroft Street, Dukinfield.
Betweein 1857 and 1860, George and Rebecca moved from Dukinfield to Haslingden. In 1861 Joseph and Mary Ann Midword, another stone mason family, were living at 57 Greaacroft Street (district 27a).
Called Rebecca in 1841, 1849 and 1851, but then Ann in 1861. She died before 1871 (when George was recorded as Widower).

Occupancy/Contact Notes
Rebecca Robinson was living at "Mills Bridge", Linthwaite at the time of her marriage in 1849.
Actually, Rebecca was illiterate, so Mills Bridge is probably Milnsbridge, near Longwood, Huddersfield.
She lived at 30 Back Grosvener St from 1851.5Occupancy/Contact Notes
30 Back Grosvener St, Staleybridge, Duckinfield.
Home of George and Rebecca Stocks in 1851, with son Samuel, who was born in Cheshire 1 month earlier.

Stocks Albert 70 Birkenhead 8a 760
Albert Stocks died 21 January 1922 at 45 Thompson Street, Birkenhead, aged 70. The death certificate records him as a "Stone Mason (journeyman)". His son-in-law John Mather was in attendance and recorded the death on the 23rd. The cause of death was Influenza. Acute Pulmonary Edema
Influenza infection can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with high mortality. The main feature of ARDS is the accumulation of fluid in the alveoli, which causes severe pulmonary edema and impaired oxygen uptake, resulting in death.
