You need to buy Horace Tonks marriage certificate to see who is named as his father before you can sort out which of the two couples are your Horace's parents.

??????????????????


could this Irene Patricia's death??

Birth Date: abt 1928
Date of Registration: Sep 1959
Age at Death: 31
Registration District: Birmingham
Inferred County: Warwickshire
Volume: 9c

Only someone connected would 'know' the man's family tree.

Have you looked in 'search all trees'?

To research him, start by obtaining his marriage cert, to find out who he named as his father.

.

A member named Sylvia has both Horace and Irene in her GR tree......send her a message

Sylvia is my mother, Irene was my grandmother she actually died in 1958 not 1959 has stated in the death records, my mother was 3 and a half when she passed away I know who his parent's were but when it comes to his grandparents are I think it was George Henry Tonks born 1864 and Sarah Ann Tonks 1862 I do not have a last name for her or the marriage certificate, I am going by the 1911 census

@ Jax My family are the same stayed in the west midlands except for my x2 great aunt Kate who emigrated to Canada in 1902 :-)

So who were Horace's parents?

You say you know who they are but not told us

I cannot see a son called John or Arthur in that 1911 census

Which of those two deaths of a Horace Tonks is your grandfather?

If he is the Horace born Dec 1926 then was his father Arthur Ernest?? not Ernest Arthur...If so is this him?
