William Tonks & Family
« on: Sunday 13 October 19 15:30 BST (UK) »
In 1861 William Tonks (1840) lived with his 1st wife Selina and son John in Kingswinford.
In 1871 William lived with his 2nd wife Eliza with John, Jemima, Mary & Emma in Nantwich.
In 1881 William lived with Eliza and Elizabeth A (21) Emma, Eliza, William, & Selina in Nantwich
1n 1891 they lived with Selina in Newcastle L.
& in 1901 they lived in Congleton with daughter Clara (19).

I've found marriages for John (3 wives), Eliza(Freyer), and Selina (Ayres).      I can't find any records for Jemima(1865),  Mary(1866), William(1877), Elizabeth A (1860) or Clara (1882).

Any ideas?

Were these all his children? 

Are you looking for their birth records or for what happened to them later on?

No mention of Clara in your reference to 1891 details.  No birth reg in Cheshire or Newcastle for her

The only 1901 entry shows her as the dtr of 62 yr old Eliza Tonks - a widow.  Both born West Bromwich.  No mention of a death for William in your post

Your 1891 details don't match the 1891 entry.  You say they are in Newcastle but they are in Audley Staffs but no daughter Clara

Are you sure you have the right family?

1891 Clara is with a married sister age 9 called Elizabeth Fuger 19 - if that's the right Clara  :-\

Suggest you re-visit info in your opening post as it’s misleading.  It would also help if you included birthyears & birthplaces for everybody plus the years of the various marriages for William
