• Notes

  “Alumni Dublinenses”, has a Thomas Vokes, son of Edward Vokes, Merchant, entering Trinity College, Dublin on the 21 June, 1728, aged 18. Thomas was born in Limerick in 1710 and he was called to the Irish Bar in 1742. Thomas, on entering the Middle Temple on the 29 Oct. 1731, is given as the son and heir of Edward Voekes [sic] of Limerick. In May 1765 Thomas Vokes, a Counsellor-at-law, married a Miss [Mary] Parker.Since we know of only two Thomas Vokes who were Attorneys this must be the Thomas who was born in Limerick in 1710, marrying at the age of 55, for a second or third time, perhaps?
