Deacon Family

 

just starting to fill in the gaps.......

Elizabeth Horton DEACON was the d/o James DEACON & Ann HORTON and she was chr in Nunney Somerset England on 16 Jan 1816 (or 1817)

Elizabeth married William HEWLETT in Bristol England on 4 July 1839

Family of James & Ann nee Horton DEACON:

James died 19 Dec 1844 in Nunney

Ann died 13 Aug 1848 in Broadway, Frome

children of James & Ann:

Joseph DEACON, b. abt 1806 - unmarried in the 1851 census (Bathford village) and in the 1861 census (Bradford on Avon Wilts, butler)

John DEACON, b. abt 1811 - married Mary

Lydia DEACON, b. 9 Sept 1812 -

Uriah DEACON, 1814 - married Emma who died in 1893.  At least 11 children

Benjamin DEACON, b. 1815 - married Jane COOK and had at least one daughter, Louisa DEACON b. 31 May 1844.   Found in both 1851 & 1861 census

Elizabeth Horton DEACON, 1816

Emanuel DEACON, 1818  - married Elizabeth DOGERELL in 1841 in Frome

Thomas DEACON, abt 1829 - 1861 census, unmarried

 

 

At present - trying to find out if the Alfred DEACON, s/o Uriah & Emma is in Toronto in the 1891 census as the following family:

  1. Alfred DEACON, 49, married, b. England, manufacturer of hats

  2. Louisa DEACON, 44, married, wife, b. England

  3. Helen DEACON, 24, daughter, b. England

  4. Percy DEACON, 22, son, b. England, clerk in hat store

  5. Jessie DEACON, 20, daughter, b. England

I have found the above family in the1881 census in Frome where Alfred was a butcher.

 

marriage reg 15430-96 is Jessie DEACON, 26, b. Frome Somerset, res of 214 Wellesley St. in Toronto, d/o Alfred & Louisa, married Albert Edward PARFETT, 33, architect, b. Frome, res of 183 Amily St. in Brooklyn NY, witn: John J. PETIT of Brooklyn NY & Margaret MOSSOM of Toronto, 19 Aug 1896 at St. Simons Church in Toronto

Albert & Louisa are still in Toronto in 1901, but there are no children with them.  Albert's birth date is given as 26 Jan 1842 and Louisa's is 6 May 1846.

I may have found Percy in the 1901 census - Toronto, age 32, birth date 7 Sept 1865, from England in 1891, head of household, single - I am fairly certain that this is the correct Percy as in the same household is his sister, Heloner R. TONKIN, b, 21 June 1866, age 34, married [but no husband there] and her two children, Rosalie D. TONKIN b. 5 Aug 1893 and Gordon b. 3 Sept 1895

A check of the birth registration show that John Gordon TONKIN was born 3 Sept 1895 to John Johns TONKIN, merchant tailor of 14 Rose Ave in Toronto & Helanor Rosalie DEACON.  Birth reg 41616-95.

This leads to the marriage reg of John Johns TONKIN, 42, widower, merchant, b. Plymouth England, of Toronto, s/o Edward TONKIN & Grace, married to Helanor Rosalie DEACON, 26, b. Somersetshire England, res of Toronto, d/o Alfred DEACON & Louisa, witn: C. W. KNOWLES & Jessie DEACON, both of Toronto, 21 June 1892 at St. Simons Church

There was also a Rogers DEACON who married (possibly) a Louisa BOND, FreeBMD, Sept 1850, Calne 8 page 463.  Robert DEACON (1841 census) also has a son Roger(s).

 

Robert Rogers DEACON born June 1869 Frome 5c pg 528 - related?  I am not sure if it is the same Robert R. DEACON, but there is a 12 year old Robert R. DEACON, b. Frome in Frome (Innox Hill) in the following household:

James DEACON, 18, b. Frome, clerk,
