Family
Marriage and Issue
He married Margaret WIlliams 25 Sep 1636 in St Just in Penwith, Cornwall, England. [1] [2]
They had four known children together:
- John Tonkin, 1646, christened 18 April 1646 in St Just in Penwith, Cornwall.[3]
- William Tonkin, christened 24 Feb 1649 O.S., 1650 N.S., in St Just in Penwith, Cornwall.[4]
- Margery Tonkin, christened between May 10th & May 19th, 1651, in St Just in Penwith, Cornwall.[5]
- Augustine Tonkin, 1653[6]
The St Just in Penwith regusters are sparse, it is possible they had more children or they had them in different parishes, as it is unusual to see a gap of a decade between marriage and issue.
