He was born on November 8, 1847 at Clontarf in Ireland, a coastal suburb of Dublin to Abraham Stoker (born in 1799; married Stoker's mother in 1844; died on October 10, 1876) and Charlotte Mathilda Blake Thornley (born in 1818; died in 1901) as the third of seven children.His siblings were: Mathilda, born 1846; Thomas, born 1850; Richard, born 1852; Margaret, born 1854; and George, born 1855 Abraham and Charlotte were members of the Church of Ireland and attended the Clontarf parish church (St John the Baptist) with their children. Until he was 7 years old, recurring illness ensured that he could neither stand up nor walk on his own. This illness and helplessness was a traumatic experience which is noticeable in his literary work. Everlasting sleep and the resurrection from the dead, which are the central themes of Dracula, were of great importance for him, because he was forced to spend much of his life in bed.
