Narrative and Notes

Annie Elizabeth STOKES was born on 2 Jan 1871 in Merstow Green, Evesham and brought up in Broadway, with her brothers and sisters. Although she was not recorded as living with her parents in any census, even when young.

At the time of the 1881 census Annie was staying with John SUCH, the innkeeper of the Angel Inn, Broad Campden, near Chipping Campden (3.5 miles from Broadway) and his 23 year old daughter Sarah A SUCH. Annie Elizabeth was only 10. It's unclear why a 10 year old girl would be staying at an inn away from her parents and her young brother and sister.

In 1891 she was working for William CALCUTT, a Tobacconist, and was boarding with him and his family in High Street, West Bromwich. As William and his wife Rachel were from Churchill and Oddington respectively it is very likely they were known to the family.

When the MAXTON family visited the de Navarro family at nearby Court Farm, she took up a family post with them. Whilst she lived with them, she travelled to the Continent and visited Paris on more than one occasion. The photograph of her when she was young was taken in Paris

Annie probably held another post with the HODDINOTT family who emigrated to Charlottesville, Virginia in 1894.

Amongst Annie Elizabeth's relatives was Edith Mayo KNAPTON who was probably an art teacher, and possibly her second cousin, Edith BOX. They were obviously close, as Annie's family received most of her belongings, when she died in 1920.

Amongst her papers were letters from Tom MATTHEWS and Frank A. MATTHEWS from Michigan, U.S.A. Perhaps they were also second cousins.

She married Albert Parker EDWARDS on 14th February 1898 at St. Lawrence Church, Evesham. Annie's youunger brother Frederick Thomas STOKES and a cousin, Edith Mayo Knapton, were witnessed at the wedding. Edith's final letter to Annie is shown below.

In April 1901 Annie Elizabeth was a patient at The Hospital on Church Green West. Her husband was with his brother and two STOKES visitors, and her son, Albert Garnet, aged 2, was with her brother-in-law Ralph EDWARDS. Her daughter Mildred had died in infancy the previous year.

They kept The Cricketer's Arms in Beoley Road, Redditch for some years, where their six children, Albert, Mildred, Doris, Ralph, Ena and Osmond were born; and there Albert Parker dabbled in farming in a small way. In 1995 Osmond visited The Cricketer's Arms and found it to be virtually unchanged.

Later the family moved to The Royal Exchange at Droitwich, before Albert PARKER became the proprietor of The Bear Hotel in Evesham. Later still they moved to the Red Lion at Astwood Bank, where they stayed until Albert Parker EDWARDS died on February 11th, 1930 aged 53. Annie Elizabeth EDWARDS loved to move home, and would have lived in many more places had she been allowed to.

After Albert Parker died, Annie Edwards moved back to Evesham, first to La Quinta, Cheltenham Road, and then to 23 Collinsfield, near to her daughter Dolly. Finally she moved to a flat in St. Andrews Street, Droitwich, and lived there until she was almost 91 years old.

Annie died of broncho pneumonia and chronic bronchitis on 20 December 1961. She was cremated at Worcester and shared a memorial service with her sister Katherine SPENCE on 10 Jan 1962 at St Michael's, Broadway.

She was buried at All Saints, Wribbenhall, Bewdley where there is a monumental inscription.

MRS A. E. EDWARDS

The death of Mrs. Annie Elizabeth Edwards, formerly of Collinsfield, Evesham, which took place in her ninety-first year at Ravenscourt, Droitwich (on December 30th 1961), sees the passing of one whose family had long connections with Evesham and Broadway. She was born in Evesham and was one of the three daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Stokes, who then lived on Merstow Green at a house adjacent to the Almonry.

There on Merstow Green, Thomas Stokes carried on his business as a wheelwright and it was he who built the first "Famous Vale of Evesham Light Gardening Dray for a Half-Legged Horse to Trot" (the quotation is from his account book) a century ago, the forerunner of many that became so familiar a sight in the towns and villages from the sixties onwards. He built many more for the use of the Vale gardeners and among the familiar local names listed in his notebook for whom he made drays, traps, carts and trucks were such prominent figures in Victorian Evesham as Mayor Allard, Alfred Haines, Henry Masters, Messrs. Espleys, Fred Hirons, John Idiens and Fred George.

Thomas Stokes also had long-standing business dealings with the people of the circus and fairgrounds, and had a contract to effect necessary repairs and renewals to their waggons whenever they visited the district. He built living waggons for many of the show people's families as well as shooting galleries and other equipment peculiar to the trade of his wandering customers, and among the names figuring in his books are some still familiar today, such as Wilsons and Chipperfields.

The family eventually lived at La Quinta, Broadway, and in this village the drays and carts continued to be made and to play their part in the district's leading industry. Here the wheelwright's children grew up, and when the Maxton family visited the village to stay with Mr. and Madame de Navarro at Court Farm, they offered Mrs. Edwards a family post with them which took her for several years to Paris and other parts of the continent.

In 1897 she married at St. Lawrence Church, Evesham, Mr. Albert Parker Edwards, of Birmingham and they spent many years at Redditch and later Droitwich in the innkeeping and hotel industry. In the 1920's they were for several years proprietors of the Bear Hotel, Evesham and were afterwards at the Red Lion Hotel, Astwood Bank until Mr. Edwards death in 1930. A few years later Mrs. Edwards returned to Evesham living in Cheltenham Road and then at Collinsfield, until she moved to Droitwich a few years ago.

She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. H. J. Phipps, of Evesham, and Mrs. W. J. Weaver, of Bromsgrove, and two sons, Mr. Ralph Edwards, of Droitwich and Mr. Osmond Edwards, of Fownhope, Hereford. One daughter died in infancy, and her eldest son, Bert, died several years ago.

A joint memorial service for Mrs. Annie Elizabeth Edwards and her sister Mrs. Kate Spence will take place at St. Michael's church, Broadway on Wednesday.

Both Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Spence were born at Broadway.
