Thank you for the information about the profession of a plater.
To Angie Tonks - what a surprise! Could you please send me a personal message? I have met your parents about 10 years ago when I started to research my English Family history. We share the same ancestors - the eldest ancestors in my Family tree are Charles and Sophia Tonks who married in Handsworth in 1810. Christina

The profession of my ancestor Samuel Ketland in 1839 was described as plater. What does this mean? I am grateful for any explanation. Christina

Staffordshire / William Tonks - missing marriage
« on: Sunday 26 February 17 17:35 GMT (UK)  »
In 1848 William Tonks a dresser and widowed married Sarah Westley in West Bromwich. I am not able to find his first marriage. William Tonks (baptized under the name Griffin) was born in Walsall in 1814, father Charles Tonks, a gardener. I have tried to find a census record for 1841 but without any success either. Any help appreciated, Christina

Sophy (Sophia) Glover survived and married in 1810. I thought that there had been twins, and only one child was baptized.
