Biography

Flag of Lincolnshire (adopted 2005)
Mary (Kerk) Tong was born in Lincolnshire, England.
Mary Kerk married John Tong on 25 November 1760 in Keelby, Lincolnshire, England.[1][2]

Their children were baptised in Great Limber:

  • Ann, 1762[3]
  • Elizabeth, 1764[4]
  • John, 1765[5]
  • David, 1767[6]
  • Joseph, 1768.[7]

Mary was buried in Great Limber on 28 October 1770.[8][9]

Research notes

More research needed to confirm the correct baptism for Mary. This source is for a baptism in Wellingore, not Lincoln, and the daughter of Thomas and Mary, not William.[10] Wellingore is nearly 40 miles from Keelby where Mary married, and Kirk/Kerk is a common surname, so she may well have been from somewhere nearer to Keelby.

For example, there was a Mary Kirk baptised in 1745/46 in Stallingborough, 3 miles from Keelby.[11] Fuller-8857 11:21, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Christening: 10 JAN 1731. Riby, Lincolnshire, England.
