Sir William Thornley Stoker (Eldest of the brothers) proceeded to become a leading Surgeon, becoming President of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, and a Baronet. In the early 2000's, unbeknownst to me, while my Company [The Paper Mill, est'd 1992, now DMG Paper Mill Co. Ltd.), supplied The Library of the R.C.S.I., with various custom-made Acid-Free Archival Boxes for the preservation of Volumes/Journals, I discovered the R.C.S.I. Connection to my Family name (Maternally). Sir William died 1st June 1912, precisely 50 years before my Birth 1st June 1962. Signed; Declan Edward Stoker Walker McGinn (of Audrey Eugénie Walker, of Edward Charles Walker, of Catherine 'Kate' Stoker, of Charles Eyre Stoker, of William J. Stoker (b.1773/d.1848), of William Stoker......Brother of 'un-named' Stoker, whose Son - Richard Stoker, whom, in turn, had a Son William Stoker b.Circa 1754, whom, in turn, had a Son - William C. Stoker b.1799/d.1876 (as pictured and listed above), to be Father of said Sir William, and 'Bram' Stoker, et al. 

We'd love if you also created an Ancestors Chronicle for Sir William Thornely Stoker so that he may be discovered in his own right as well.

Here's how...

Hi, There is a typo in the above comment. The father of Bram and Sir Thornley Stoker is Abraham C Stoker, not William as above. There were actually 2 people in this family with the name William C Stoker. The first was William Coates Stoker (a corset maker, then a gaoler and then a basin-keeper) who was Bram's grandfather. The second was the son of Bram's Uncle Peter - William Coates Stoker, a legal man and diplomat, from London.

Hi, I am interested in the source of the above Information where it says that Abraham's birth townland was Coleraine. The only reference I have found to his birth was in an 1854 affidavit for an Insurance Company where he states that he 'made all diligent exertion to procure a Baptismal certificate, but without effect'. I have understood from that, although he searched, he was unaware where he was born. In 1799, the year of Abraham's birth, William's address was given as Damer Court (where he had been since 1790) in a property Deed. Further, I have not found any trace of his father outside Dublin. Can anyone throw some further light on this mystery?
