Hi All, the name Jonathan Stokes & his son John Allen Stokes were taken from a 1822 map of Wordsley Staffordshire, they owned lots of land in/around Wordsley, they were in the Iron Trade i think.
I can find no ref to them or on 1841 census, looked on sites & papers from 1800 onwards no joy.
The one thing i do know is by 1870s much of the Wordsley land was sold.

MALVERN.,, the preservation of the property, and among them were particularly noticed the Rev. J. Marshall, vicar of Evesham, Mr. John Allen Stokes, Mr. Dunne, of Rydon, Mr. New, agent to the Birmingham Fire Office, &c. have not heard whether Mr. Crane is insured,
