John Stokes (archdeacon of Armagh)

He was born in Skreen, County Sligo, the second born and eldest son of the eight children of the Reverend Gabriel Stokes (died 1834), rector of the parish, and his wife Elizabeth Haughton, daughter of the Reverend John Haughton.

His father's profound Evangelical views had a strong influence on all four of his sons, three of whom became clergymen.

The youngest of the four brothers was the noted physicist Sir George Stokes, 1st Baronet.

They had one son, Thomas Gabriel Stokes, who followed his father and grandfather into the Church, and became Chancellor of the Diocese of Armagh.
