Ist Marriage
James Stokes married Helen(ellen)Fitzgerald
Children were Maria b. 1831 (Kildimo),
Michael b. 1833 (Kildimo)
No record of a marriage found yet.

2nd Marriage
James Stokes married 1837 to Bridget Cusack (Kilcornan & Stonehall RC) Children were Bridget & Hanora b. 1838,John b.1840, Thomas b.1845 and ellen b.1849.All in Kildimo parish.

Hanora married Michael Carroll in 1856 in Cappagh.

Bridget Cusack b.1803 in St Mary's Limerick and parents were Thomas Cusack and Bridget Brien.

I'm looking for the birth place of James Stokes possibally from 1800-1809 .There are seven records on the IG website and six of these are for Co.louth.His father could be John, Michael or Thomas going by the names of his sons.As his second wife's father was Thomas it could be Michael or John.
James born 1804 in Darver parish to John Stokes and Ann Lennan.
If James b.1804 is my James then other possible siblings are Mary b.1801,William b.1802,Rose b.1811,Catherine b.1813,John b.1814 all in Darver Parish Co. Louth to John Stokes. Finding record of his marriage to Ann Lennan is also proving difficult...
The area's of Kildimo,Kilkornan,Cappagh and Askeaton are all fairly close together and there are a lot of Stoke families there.Not including the above there are :

James       1843 Co. Limerick Cappagh RC       Michael Stokes
Cath.       1845 Co. Limerick Cappagh RC       Michael Stokes
Anna       1847 Co. Limerick Cappagh RC       Michael Stokes
Michael       1852 Co. Limerick Cappagh RC       Michael Stokes

Michael       1847 Co. Limerick Kilkornan Michael Stokes

Stokes       John       1829 Co. Limerick Kilcornan        John Stokes
Stokes       Martin       1832 Co. Limerick Kilcornan        John Stokes
Stokes       Ellen       1834 Co. Limerick Kilcornan        John Stokes

Stokes       Margt. 1833 Co. Limerick Kildimo RC       John Stokes
Stokes       James       1835 Co. Limerick Kildimo RC       John Stokes
                                   
Stokes       Edmund       1827 Co. Limerick Kilcornan Martin Stokes

Maria       1831 Co. Limerick Kildimo RC       Martin Stokes
Robert       1833 Co. Limerick Kildimo RC       Martin Stokes
Ellen       1838 Co. Limerick Kildimo RC       Martin Stokes
John       1839 Co. Limerick Kildimo RC       Martin Stokes
James       1841 Co. Limerick Kildimo RC       Martin Stokes
James       1842 Co. Limerick Kildimo RC       Martin Stokes

The birth dates range from 1827 to 1852 25 years. There seems to be two James Stokes in the area at the one time and as my James could be from Co.Louth the others may be related i.e brothers and my James could be a cousin who married a girl from Limerick and moved down.Fitzgerald in a very common name in the area also which is his 1st wife's name.
Any one see a resemblance to your ancestors?....
