Hello Frangie,

Thank you for your reply.  Since I 1st posted this I have been in contact with another family member and now believe we have most of the details from that part of the family, EXCEPT what happened to the 2 sons of Mary Toker : Luke and John (sons of Patrcick Toker and Mary).  We think they were placed in a "facility" of some kind (maybe Tuhoe Children's home).

Also from Mary's 1st marriage there were 2 other boys, William & Thomas (father William Brown) who we have not been able to find.

Just for your information if any names you have are from people who are still alive you will have to reply via a PM (personal message). Rootschat does not allow "living" details to be sent and will "edit" them out.

I see you are not interested in researching the family, should you change your mind just ask and we can send whatever details that you need.


Regards

Richard

We are trying to trace relatives of John Leonard, born 1928 to Mary Toker and John Thomas Leonard.
We know Mary was convicted of the Manslaughter of John senior and sentenced to 7 years in Holloway in 1935.
John Thomas Leonard was born in 1928 and would have been 6 when he was witness to the stabbing.
He died in 2002 in Northampton Hospital.  He had one daughter who would like to trace any surviving family members.

Thanks in anticipation

Martin

Hi MartinandCarol.

We are not related directly but have been helping another relative put her tree together.  We do have more information regarding your branch but hesitate to give this over this open forum.

We can send this via a PM (Personal Message) but only after you have posted 3 messages 1st (it's a RootsChat thing). so if you respond again to this thread a couple more times we should be able then to send you a PM with details.

Regards

Richard

Thanks Richard

We have some press cuttings from 1935 regarding the trial and would love to share any info you may have.

Regards

Martin

I also believe that Mary Toker may have had 2 sons called John.  One by her husband and the other, (my late father in law) by John Leonard.

Many Thanks

Martin
