Are you related in some way ?

This is what I'm trying to find out Lynda. Some researchers say there is a connection to my line, but I have not been able to locate the missing link.
Emily's parents have been named as William Auckland TONKIN and Jane unknown. I have a feeling this information may not be correct.
My research indicates Emily Jane was baptised as 'Emily Jane Gilbert TONKIN' in St Buryan, Cornwall, in 1846, and is the base child of Jane TONKIN. This of course has not been confirmed.
I'm now trying to find out a few more details about this Jane TONKIN. I still have a few more records to search so may come up with something.
Sorry I cannot help with that,I only have information from 'Digger'
at Library,but would very much appreciate any information
Lynda
That's ok Lyna. Will let you know if I come up with anything. May take some time.
