Narrative and Notes

Thomas STOKES was born 1816 in Bicester.

He married Eliza on 2 Sep 1840 in Hempstead, Gloucester, and they had eight children. The first, William, was born in Chipping Hill, Witham, Essex; the next two in Churchill and a further five in Bledington, Gloucester between 1845 and 1854. Thomas had been born in Bicester and his father born in Churchill, so it quite possible that the couple didn't move to Bledington until after they had had their third child. Maybe their last child Emily was christened in Churchill while they visited family.

At the time of his marriage in 1840 Thomas was a stone mason. In 1841 he is a labourer at Hezekiah Hasler's wheelwright business on New Road, Harlow. This would explain his becoming a wheelwright and also the reason why his first child was born in Essex.

At the time of his son Frederick's birth in 1846 he was still recorded as a stone mason, but by 1851 was a carpenter, and in 1861 he was officially in the wheelwright business. 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), the forerunner of many that became so familiar a sight in the towns and villages from the 1860s onwards. He built many more for the use of the Vale gardeners.

Thomas 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.

He is also credited with inventing the wooden "Mushroom" which was used by housewives for many years to darn socks. He built and repaired all kinds of vehicles for the gentry as well as for the circus and fairground travellers.

Later he lived with his wife at Merstow Green, Evesham, in a house adjoining the Almonry. Perhaps this is why so many of the family had their wedding reception there in later years.

At some point in his life, he moved from Evesham to Broadway, where he continued his wheelwright business. However, later in the 1881 Census, and aged 64, he was back living at 89 High St, Evesham.

It is just possible that Thomas Stokes is shown in the photograph of his son Frederick's wheelwright business in Broadway. Perhaps he is the older man standing centre right facing his son?

Thomas died in 1885 aged 68 of paralysis, bronchitis and debility.
