Keith Savage, who lives in NZ, has been corresponding with a view to spending time in Sticker during August this year. He is researching his family history in the area and below is an extract from an article he submitted to the Polgooth Times. If anyone in Sticker can provide him with information it will help him with compiling his very impressive web site detailing his ancestry. www.savage-genealogy.com He can be contacted by Email at keith.savage5@xtra.co.nz
"My grandmother Rosie ‘TONKIN' was born in Polgooth 16th June 1900 and later gave birth to my mother Joyce ‘TONKIN’ in London 4th July 1920.
My Great Grandfather, Rosie’s dad was David TONKIN (1872 -1917), son of James TONKIN (1836 -1914). Their respective wives were Mabel Alice MAY (1876 -1961) and Susan JOB (1839 -1900).
Susan’s father John JOB (1800 -1859) was Victualler of ‘The Polgooth Inn’ and this role was later taken over by his widow Elizabeth MELLOW (1810 – 1877).
I have unearthed documentation confirming that my Great, Great Grandfather James TONKIN eventually owned the inn and raised his family within its confines!
The most recent relative that I have information of is that of Vera Maud TONKIN nee TRELEAVEN thanks to an online BBC article last updated March 2003 announcing the celebration of her 100th birthday in Polgooth.
To conclude, the only photograph I have in my possession of past relatives is that of my Great Grandmother Mabel Alice Tonkin nee MAY, I have no idea what other family members looked like and I yearn for more information on any of the aforementioned surnames!"
