Statistics using FamilySearch collections only (being a free source) on the surname Tonkin with variants Tonking and Tonkyn as at September 2021
(numbers may vary compared to other sites e.g. Ancestry or Findmypast)
Note: Using place of residence filters on FamilySearch for each census result, you will notice that an individual can appear in multiple places.
For example: there are no known Tonkin residents in Ireland, yet the breakdown using the place of residence filter in 1841 will show Tonkin residents in Ireland. Looking at those individuals, they are also included in the actual county of residence as well as Ireland, making the numbers larger than they actually are.
Numbers in the Breakdown by County tables have been adjusted to only include the person in actual place of residence (as best as can be achieved but still may require minor adjustments)
