[Details of the family of *1324 Elizabeth
Toulmin and Samuel Barker have been
preserved;
the following note (e-mail, M.Cronin to PT, 31.1.00) explains how. Notes
in []
or keyed [a] ... are mine. (GHT)]
The source for most of my info on the
Toulmin family is the original book
"Scraps
of Family History" that was written by my Mother in law's Grandfather
Walter
M.
Jackson Sr. This book was written in
1917. He had some documentation, in the
form of
letters & Misc, some small pieces I have, some I don't, due to improper
storage
of the documents in the 60-70s (some were eaten by mice!) I do have the
transcriptions
he did in 1917. ... I have a document
that I have attached that is
titled
"Some records of my family ..." by J.J.B. J.J.B. seems to be John Jesse
Barker. I am in the process of putting the entire
book on the internet.

John
Jesse son Samuel & Eliza Barker born June 18 1785[f] at 4 O'clk in
afternoon
N. B.
Anna Barker had the Small Pox in Sept 1782 Henrietta, Robert, Sarah, Samuel
&
Matilda
were inoculated fromher on the 19th inst, by Mr Fisk from Walden [g]
John
was inoculated by Capt. Hussey at Dunkirk in Jany 1795 [h]
[a] Misreading for 1767: see my note on
*1324. The parish in fact was St
George's
in the
East; Ratcliffe was not a parish, but a "hamlet" of Stepney, further
east.
But the
church was on Ratcliffe Highway (now The Highway).
[b] Tooting is correct: see Appendix K, near
end, for a note on Samuel, Eliza's
cousin. The month must have been June (if Tuesday
28th is correct). Neither this
nor any
of the following baptisms was at St George in the East: I conjecture the
family
lived at Samuel's home village of Linton, Cambs.
[c] No other record that Abraham (*132) had a
degree, and it seems likely
this
was an error of J.J.B.'s. But the
evidence of Abraham's death and age seems
valid,
though there is no other record of them.
[d] The 2 is not clear - possibly "Apl
31st" in error for Mar 31st. But a
baptism
the day
after birth would be very unusual.
[e] Possibly Anne (also unclear in note
below). "Wednesday" is
preceded by
"Saturday"
with "Sat" overtyped by xxx: representing a deletion in the original,
or
correcting
an error in typing? (Sept 16 was
Wednesday.)
[f] The 8 of 18 and 5 of 1785 are both
unclear: 1783 might have been expected, and
would
be possible.
[g] "Fisk" and "Walden"
unclear; but presumably Saffron Walden, only 6 miles from
Linton
(see note [b]). Holden's Dir. 1811 (per
JMH) has four surgeons named Fiske
in
Saffron Walden (John, E & S, Charles).
Samuel was presumably the father; note
Mary is
omitted - perhaps she had already had smallpox.
[h] Intriguing: Britain & France were of
course at war then. Was John perhaps a
midshipman
under Capt. Hussey? (I've seen a record
of a nine-year-old midshipman at
about this
date.)
[The following tree from WorldCon/Cronin
shows Mike Cronin's descent. He has
agreed
1796 in the first line was a mis-reading of 1776, correct in the typescript.

Notes
[i] Probably 11 Aug 1747, if she reckoned she
was 20 on 11 Aug OS 1767 = 22
Aug NS,
as PT points out. But Samuel should
have been b. 7, not 14, Aug 1741.

INDEXES
For each name in the following indexes, a
page-reference and a shortened form
of the
relevant line in the catalogue is given, omitting the indentation (the
generation
can be inferred from the reference-number).
As spouses do not have
reference-numbers
of their own in the trees, they have been given their husband's
or
wife's reference with [ instead of the initial *. Thus Ada SEATREE will be
found,
on page 23, immediately under *6214, who will be found to be George
TOULMIN
1873 - 1929. Where second or later
marriages are involved, a reference
like [62B32] is given for the spouse, and this is
reproduced with both
brackets,
showing it will be found somewhere below
*62B32 . Note that
references
like **515 or [*5145 belong to the CRANE tree and ***51 or [**51 to
the
EMMETT tree.
Individuals can also be located in the
"tree" section, using the page-numbers
preceded
by > entered in the right margin.
A name is considered to be strictly a
sequence of letters, so "St Quintin" and
"Donna-Lea"
are each treated as two separate names.
Shortened names (but not single
initials
are indexed); a few entries (Mrs, Jr) have been included
in a
short index of "titles" following the surnames. For any given name, the
entries
are in the same order as in the original tree.
Names occurring in notes and Appendices are
not indexed.
