I noticed there are very few Mokes left that I know of.I am the youngest of three girls (all have married). I have two male cousins-one also has three girls and the other has no children.My father and his one brother are still alive but as far as I know this is where our family line runs out.I wondered if anyone knows the name Terry Mokes(DOB 14.07.30) or Allan Mokes.Their father & mother were J(John or Jack) Mokes and Mary Price both from Rugeley Staffs.I am very new to this subject and would greatly appreciate any help.Thanks!

Re: family history? Mokes
Hi
I have just begun my families history and came across your message. My grandfather was John Thomas Mokes born 09/06/1895 in Hadley End just outside Rugeley, son of Arthur Henry Mokes born18/10/1854 at Rugeley Horse Fair son of John and Sarah Mokes (nee Adams). I think Arthur had 4 brothers called Frederick, William, Harry and Thomas and a sister called Mary. From what I've discovered Frederick had a son called John so as my family seem to have originated from Staffordshire I wondered if any of the details related to yourself. Please get in touch if you think there might be a connection. I know the Mokes surname is not common so I would think there is a link somewhere if we can find it. Look forward to a response.

Re: family history? Mokes
Hi Just reading the message regarding the family MOKES. I have been tracing the mokes family on behalf on my step father, as I am at a standstill with my own, and your family is connected to the one I am tracing. I do have a bit more information if your interested on the children of Arthur Henry mokes born 1854 and on John born 1820 and Sarah (adams) children.

Hi Janette
Thanks for your email. I've sent one previously but unsure if you received it. I would be extremely grateful for any information you would be able to pass on regarding the Mokes family tree. Likewise any information you might require that I can help you with I would be more than willing to help with.
Look forward to a response
Regards

Re: family history? Mokes
I don't know of any other Mokes' besides the ones in my family, so I'm interested to see if there's a connection. my dad is Thomas James Mokes Jr. born 10/15/47 outside of Philadelphia, PA. My brother Timothy Mokes now has a 6 yr old son, Trent Mokes, so I'm glad the family name is being carried on.

Re: family history? Mokes
I know this comes somewhat late but I am descended from Arthur Henry´s brother John. Have quite a bit of info on the Mokes family if you don´t have it all by now and if you´re still contactable...
