I am interested in locating Stephen Stokoe's family. He was born in 1890. He left England for America in 1903. He listed his last residence as Hebbern Tury. He came with Elizabeth born about 1863. Marriage lic said his father was Kaisley Stokoe, but I can't find anybody by that name. Stephen was a miner.
