Tonks-374 and Tonks-39 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents, baptism record contains middle name

Tonks-374 and Tonks-39 do not represent the same person because: i think these are different people based in part on the marriages and also birth locations - i feel that Tonks-39 is attached to the wrong parents and further research is required to confirm his parents

I don’t. To add a bit of confusion, a lot of the Tonks family called the eldest son John. My grandfather was John Percy, my uncle was John Tonks.

Most of the Tonks research was carried out by my late cousin (also John Tonks)

Hi Andrew, do you have any sources for this person. The marriage source that I found for him suggests his father was named John. Thanks for checking up on this!
