Hi Cal. I just registered for this site a few hours ago - and didn't realize until just now that you have an active stream of posts long since the 2015 post I asked you about this morning. Now that I've looked at more recent posts, I am very interested in finding any source documents relative to John and Ann Toole and their son. I have a certified death certificate for a John Toole in March,1838, in St Botolph, Bishopsgate, City of London. Age (not clear but possibly "37"). I think (the handwriting was not clearly legible) the informant was "James F(?) Toole, (unreadable) of the deceased, (unreadable), Bishopsgate Street, (Unreadable). If this John's age at death was 37, that would make his DOB sometime in 1801 - but I have no source. Do your sources indicate that the John Toole referenced above is the husband of Ann Trist Toole and the brother of James F. Toole? Also, do you have any source records for their son? Name? Birth Certificate etc.
I have traced my family line going with reliable sources back to a John Lawrence Toole who died in Torquay, Devon in 1872 at the age of 48 (born in 1824 in Exeter, Devon, married to Anna Marie Neeld in July, 1856 - who died in late 1855. John Lawrence then married, Charlotte Trist Bailey on 25 Dec 1859 in Kensington, London). Although I have no birth certificate for JL, his father is listed as John Toole, an "accountant" and his mother, as Ann nee Trist on later certificates.
My quandary is trying to ascertain whether my gg grandfather, John Lawrence Toole is the son of the John Toole, that was the brother of James F Toole and the Uncle to JL Toole, the actor. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers;
Tom
