• Notes

  There is a Richard J. Tonkin in the 1891 census for St. Mark's Parish, Islington, London, England who is the right age to be this Richard. He is 52, b. St. Ives, Cornwall, ENG and a carpenter by trade. His place of birth is close to whs father was born. His trade is the same as his fathers. If this is him, he was married to an Isabella also. She was age 45. They had 3 children, Harry, Maggie and Ruby. They lived at 67 Morey Rd. in Islington Civil Parish, London, England. It's also possible he died before 1841 as he is not listed with his parents in that census.
