Hello everyone, am trying to find some records on Harry Tonks, my Great Uncle. He was from Aston Birmingham and his mothers name was Sarah Witmore Tonks. So far have only found him on a census as a child and a possible death record if he were born 1888 (possible as some of their dates and info are entered incorrectly on census before) I can't find any war records for him either although there are some for his younger brother Charles and I am despirateley trying to identify a picture I have and need to rule him out. My Nan spoke of how her father died tragically of Scarlett fever when she was a girl and they could only afford the doctor to see her she survived and he died, and she refused to ever see a doctor thoughout her life and hated them passionate. However we later found this not to be true, her father died much later in 1911 so could she perhaps be talking of her older brother Harry. The one record that I have found says he died aged Nine, but birth date is down as 1888? Any ideas would be wonderful please. Many thanks Maria
