Charles Tomkins of Lubenham

[Rosie29]

 Help, please,  to find the parents of Charles Tomkins, my step-grandfather of Lubenham, near Market Harborough. He was born in September, 1870 and married my grandmother, Elizabeth Soanes, born Harris, in 1907.
Thanks, Rosie

Thank you, JJen,

As I don't live in England I have to rely on other people for help. I am doing this for a cousin who is his grand-daughter. He was my mother's stepfather so I have never tried to search this side of the family but it looks as if I shall soon have plenty of information with all of you.
