    Exclamation Thomas Tofft Born 1747 Penkridge Staffordshire

    Hello Jon. I would welcome help with my Brick Wall. My Ancestor. Thomas Tofft. Born 1747. Penkridge. Staffordshire.
    I am trying to find out who His Parents were. All the Tofft. ( Toft ) as they became known down the years. Were Born in Penkridge Staffs.
    The last Male Toft moved from there in the 1890. I have hit my head on this Brick Wall for nearly a year now. My cup would run"th over if I was the lucky
    one to be picked out for the help. Thank You Joan

    Hello Hazelnut. Thank you for researching my Brick Wall. I do not know who Thomas Born 1747 Married. I have found several Thomas's One Married a Ann Lewis another
    a Francis Brown. Another one Married a Mary Bostock. All I really know is that the Son William Tofft or Toft Born 1773. My Gt G +3 Married a Mary Ann in 1815

    and I know all the his Descendents. But His Parents and Grandparents are the baffling Puzzle. Does that make sense Thank you for helping Bronson 211

    Hello

    How do you know your ancestor was born around 1747?

    Was it on the strength of a marriage in 1768?

    Hello Elsabels. Not a marriage. I was just back stepping from the Dates of the children He had. ,,,,,,,,,The First one was born in 1768. and William My Gt.Granddad+3
    was born 1773 All Born In Penkridge. So I just presumed Thomas 1747? Was born there as well. Perhaps I am wrong with my Date of Birth for Thomas
    I am still going through all records I can find. I have found most of the children with same names as the list I have
    on IGA Pilot records. Dates of christenings But no William or Name of Mother Just Thomas as Father. Thank you for joining the search. Bronson
