The Lords of Trevaunance

(B/W version) This book details the lives and times of the Tonkin family of St Agnes ‘The Lords of Trevaunance’ much of this book would not have been possible if it were not for the foresight of Thomas Tonkin (1678-1742). Thomas was one of the leading local historians of the time. Much of his work still survives including a detailed account of his family which was invaluable in the writing of this book. The sole aim of this book is purely my attempt to be the first (as far as I know) to write and publish a history of the Tonkin family of St Agnes, and to present it in a readable and interesting format. As I have also included various highlighted sections on the times our ancestors lived in, and various explanatory notes, comments etc regarding tracing ones family, I hope it may also appeal to a wider audience. This book has also been incorporated into a fuller account of the Tonkin family (The Lives and Times of a Cornish Family’ which can also be purchased from www.lulu.com
