Hi Bob & Louise Out of curiosity I've just looked for the cobbling TOGHILL in Taff's Well on the 1891 Glamorgan census but he has not made it here by then. For the record there were no TOGHILLs in Glamorgan then. This looks like George Toghill KNIGHT in 1851 1944 1851 CENSUS HO107/1944 FF.0034 - 0049 ED.3B BITTON 1 Piece: 1944 Folio: 0044 Schedule: 059 Address: White Hart Inn KNIGHT George T.

Hi Louise We have corresponded in the past about the TOGHILLs, and I have little new to add to what I have already sent you. However, you may find it interesting to look at the archives of the Hawkesbury list, where you will find various postings about the TOGHILLs, but not your particular branch of the family. You may also find it useful to look at the genesreunited site at http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/, since there is someone there who has listed a whole line of TOGHILLs, including some of your own ancestors. Meanwhile, I have been looking up TOGHILLs on the Historical Directories site at www.historicaldirectories.org. Many of those listed are people we already knew about, although I was not aware of a Joseph Toghill, hat manufacturer in Stourport. I also found another Joseph Toghill, boot maker at Taff's Well in 1895, within boot throwing distance of Rhiwbina, where Carole lives. Following up a previous theme of Toghills in the licensed trade, I found a George Toghill Knight at the White Hart, Bitton in 1852-3. Perhaps his mother was a Toghill. I have heard the foundling story before, but am not sure about the real truth of it. There seem to have been Toghills around for a long time. There was a Nicholas Toggell of Hawkesbury who left a will in 1579, and an Alice Tokell of Hawkesbury who left a will in 1583. Happy hunting.
