Charlotte Stoker
Stoker married in 1844. She met her husband-to-be Abraham in Coleraine, County Londonderry, while he was on holiday from his job at Dublin Castle. He was about 20 years older than her. His ancestors had come to Ireland with William of Orange and had made living by farming land they owned themselves. Once married they moved to Harcourt Street in Dublin before moving to The Crescent in Clontarf. They had seven children: Thornley, Matilda, Abraham (Bram), Tom, Richard, Margaret, and finally George was born in 1855. Bram was not a healthy child and had to stay in bed until he was seven years old. While Stoker taught all of the children at home Bram needed additional attention.  Eventually all Stoker's sons were to be taught at Trinity College Dublin (TCD).
