11. | Elizabeth TUNKS*+ was born before 26 Nov 1786 in Bitterley, Shropshire, England (daughter of Thomas TUNKS and Elizabeth BEDDOES); died on 9 Oct 1878 in Brooke, Lambton, Ontario. Notes:
her relationship to Richard Tunks is not obvious. Could she be the sister of Richard, b. 1786 in Shropshire? Since Thomas Hammond and the Tunks came from Shropshire, they could have married and come to Canada.
She does not seem to be at BSC. BSC has Thomas Hammond d. 9 Jul 1838 age 45(Hammond 3). The stone is next to Richard Tunks but there is a gap between them. Elizabeth Tunks was the wife of this Thomas Hammond and it is believed that she was the sister of Richard and is probably buried in this gap, unmarked or missing stone.
-the 1852 census transcription shows Elizabeth Harmon when the original clearly says Elizabeth Hammond, 66, widow, born England, living with son Job and his wife Mary on L40 C1, which was owned by her brother Richard Tunks
1861 census:
1871 census: Elizabeth Hammond, 84, widow; living in Brooke Twp, Lambton with daughter Mary McGregor and husband John;
She probably died sometime in the 1870s. A search for her grave in Lambton county revealed nothing.
