• General Notes
  • Birth registered as Samule (not Samuel Edward), although he was named Samule Edward Stocks, son in law, on the 1871 census, and also on Susannah's baptism record
    
    Born at Dukinfield, just South of Stalybridge, Lancashire (Cheshire on 1851 census). 
    
    April 1851, Samuel was 1 month old with his parents George (a Stone Mason) and Rebecca at 30 Back Grosvenor Street, Dukinfield.  Brother Albert was born 2 years later at Hartshead, a few miles North of Stalybridge.
    
    In 1861, Samuel had moved further North to live at 128 Pousy (?) Street, Haslingden, Accrington.
    
    In 1871, "Saml Edwd Stocks" was living with Sarah Ann Miller and her family in Witton, Cheshire.
    
    About 1875, the family moved from Northwich to Tranmere (indicated by the childrens places of Birth).
    
    In 1881, living at 14 Brougham St., Tranmere, Birkenhead. 
    
    In 1891, Samuel and Sarah A Stocks (40 & 41) are living at 194 Peel Street, Tranmere, Birkenhead with their 8 children.
    
    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 Joiner and his son John Henry a draughtsman, so possibly Samuel was working as part of their family business.
    
    In 1904 and 1908, "Samuel Edward Stocks" and Sarah Ann Stocks had their daughters Emily, Sarah Ann and Susannah baptised at St Paul's and St Catherins, Tranmere.
    
    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 (a boarder at Hoole with the Ridley family).
