I am the granddaughter of George Scott Tonge and I am also researching my family tree. So far I have learned that my grandfather was the son of Robert Tonge and Mary Grundy married on 19 Sep 1859 St John the Evangelist, Farnworth. Robert Tonge - was the child of Ashton Tonge & Ellen, Baptism: 10 Aug 1834 St John the Evangelist, Farnworth.
Ashton & Ellen had two children a daughter Elizabeth and Robert.
My grandfather George Scot Tonge (1873 – 1949) and my grandmother Catherine Crilley lived on St James Street Farnworth (she had a sister Susan who lived on George Street Farnworth) had nine children – the first born died as a baby and Mary Alice, George, Martha, Elizabeth, Edith, Norman (my dad), Agnes and Robert.
