• Notes

  John is listed as a carpenter in his daughter's marriage record and again in the 1871 census for Shoreditch, London, England. In that census, he is 67 years of age, living with his wife, Isabella, age 64 and his granddaughter, Margaret E. Lowe, age 8 who was born in Hoxton, Middlesex Co., ENG.</line><line /><line>There are several more John Tonkins in the 1871 census records born at similar times with different wives. There is one John Tonkin that was imprisioned for beating up another man of Crowan, UK. That was 38 miles from where our John was born and 277 miles from Finsbury, London, England where he lived when and had children from the John that was in jail. It's not likely to be him.
