Tonkiss/Tomkies Families of Bridgnorth
« on: Monday 07 April 08 12:06 BST (UK) »
Im looking for information on the above families who originated from Bridgnorth

The line my fiancee is descended from lived near the Cartway and were Blacksmiths but Tonkiss seems a popular ame round that area and was looking if anyone had any information on these. The earliest I have is a John Tonkiss born 1822, him and his family moved to Wolverhampton in the late 1850's early 1860's

Hi,

John TONKISS, Full age, Bachelor, Blacksmith of St. John’s Street Bridgnorth. Father = William TONKISS – Labourer.
to
Mary PIGEON, Full age, Spinster, Servant of West Castle Street. No Father stated.
