Devon Lookup Requests / Re: TONKIN burials in Stoke Damerel

Hi DOB7,

Thank you for your prompt reply.
I shall look at your helpful baptism suggestions.  It seems William did a lot of traveling and is difficult to pin down.

Hi,

I have read this post with interest and wonder if the William Tonkin mentioned is related to my William Tonkin with whom I have hit a brick wall. (My wife's 3rd Great Grandfather).

Known details are:

On 10 Jun 1810 at Tavistock, Devon William Tonkin married Mary Tyack (of this parish), with Banns posted March 15,22 & 29th that year. Witnesses William Monk & Eathie Carthew.

William is next mentioned on his daughter Mary Ann (Letcher) Tonkin baptism record on 24 December 1815 living in Stoke Damerel (Labourer).

Final mention of William is on his daughter Mary Ann Tonkin marriage record on 6 October 1838 (St Agnes, Cornwall), where her father is shown at William Tonkin (Miner).

I am struggling to find who William's parents are, his birth date or place of birth.  Any assistance to break this brink wall would;d be greatly appreciated.

King regards

Shami

Hi does anyone have access to Barnsley marriage records c 1904. Trying to get information on the marriage of William Henry Newton BOASE & Sarah (nee?) Boase.  He was a miner born 1883 in Millom, Cumberland and she was born c1881 in Darfield, Yorkshire according to the 1911 Census (Wheatley Hill, Durham).

Regards

Shami
