SHARPLES Elizabeth married Enock TONKIN 1750
Query Journal.
Looking for information on Elizabeth SHARPLES who died in Cornwall in April 1755/6. I have not been able to locate her birth details or parents to date. She married Enoch TONKIN in 1750 at Sennen, Cornwall, and had three children that I know of.
[1]
Jane TONKIN.
Baptised: 15 October 1752, St Levan, Cornwall.
Died: -
[2]
Mary TONKIN.
Baptised: 01 December 1753, St Levan, Cornwall.
Died: -
[3]
Catherine TONKIN.
Baptised: 27 April 1755, St Levan, Cornwall.
Died: 1755.
Buried: 17 November 1755, St Levan, Cornwall.
Another possible daughter is Elizabeth, who died in 1755, but this has not been confirmed.
I also have it Elizabeth died in 1755 while giving birth to Elizabeth, so my source of information giving mother Elizabeth's year of death as 1756 may be an error made by the transcriber at the time.
My thanks to first01 for the information appearing in the comments section below.
