John Stokoe

Dr John Stokoe, (1775-1852). Stokoe set out for St Helena on HMS Conqueror in 1817. 'I thought that I should see the great man and probably have the honour of conversing with him-little did I think at that time that the honour would be so dearly purchased!' He married late in life, but was predeceased by his wife and two daughters. He died of a stroke in 1852. This edition was edited by another daughter, Edith Stokoe.
