NoteThe Biographical Dictionary of Architects in Canada, 1800-1950, is our only source for the maiden name of Henrietta, the mother of John Thomas Stokes. The biography gives her maiden name as Brown.

Henrietta died in 1863 and she and husband George are buried in Newmarket Cemetery adjacent to the graves for son John Thomas Stokes and his family. This does provide the date of Henrietta's demise, 30 August, 1863, but not the place. The September 4th, 1863, edition of the Newmarket Era, page 3, tells us that Henrietta died in East Gwillimbury Township, near Mount Albert. This also tells us that she was a native of Portsmouth, Hants., England. It does not date her funeral. It does say that she left a numerous family of sons and daughters. We probably do not have a full list of George and Henrietta's children.
