My maternal grandfather was Frederick Stokes, who was born in about 1890 - see 1891 census below. He was a publican and manager of the The Albion, now named The Old Contemptibles, from about 1930 - 1945. He had three brothers and I am looking for any descendants of the Stokes family, and any information about their history prior to 1890. Many thanks.

Harry H is Harry Archibald, he appears to marry a Sarah Turley and had as many as 6 children - Harry b1908, Edith M b1912, Fred b1915, Raymond b1917, Jack b1922 & Kenneth b1926.

Frank S is Frank Samuel, he appears to marry a Lily Jones and has at least 2 children Frank William b1915 & Lilian Ivy Doidge b1920.
 
With no middle name Arthur is a little more tricky.

Walter H is Walter Harry, who appears to be the son of Samuel Breadnee Stokes and Ann Rhodes.

Mary H is Mary Hannah Holloway, who appears to be the daughter of Charles Holloway and Emily Eggington.
 
All info should be checked, it is easy to make a wrong turn. I assume you've checked your grandfather's details (marriage) to get to Walter.

It's possible Arthur married a Hilda W Smith but as you can appreciate if so being sure of children is difficult.
 
Indeed. Out of interest, how were you able to respond so quickly? I hit a complete dead end after the 1891 census.
