I've finally come up against the same wall as you.
Maybe we should come up with a shortlist of people and BMDs that we want to check, and then I'll see about making a special trip to Hereford record office. It'll need forward planning though because once you start looking at parish records, you keep wanting to go further and further back.
"Oh, so those are his parents."
"That's when they got married, and they're both from this parish."
"Let's find their baptism entries."
"Ah, so those are the parents..."
...and so on, and so on. :)

You need to look for synonyms and similar spellings.

Tong
Tonge
Tongue
Long

You will find that the transcribers have got the surname wrong most of the time and I've tried to attach corrections wherever I find the right records.

I was recently looking thru some geneaology papers given to me by one of my Aunty's in Ka'a'awa. A handwritten family tree was included. Ah Kui Tong Hong is on the family tree. I believe he was married to Grace Kaui Aweau. According to this tree she is the daughter of Nakuilauhulu and Kahooio Aweau. Nakui is the brother of my GGG grandmother Margaret Kamaha Aweau Padeken.

Tong Hong and Kaui had 8 children. Sorry that's all I have the pages of the tree are incomplete. Contact me if you would lkie any more info on the Aweau family.

Re: John Tong (Herefordshire@1833)

62Debby — 2008-06-17 20:38:18Z

I have just received my husbands great grandmothers Birth Certificate from England and her parents were John Tong and Sarah Ann Rowe. I have been unable to find her in any census except the Wales 1901 when she is married with children. Her name is Ada Ann Tong she married John Francis and they had the following children,
1) Percy Cecil b 1895 in Wales
2) John Herbert b 1898 in Wales
3) Dora Martha b 1900 in Wales
4) Sidney Edwin b 1903 in Wales

Ada's husband John died in 1904 in Wales and she remarried a Frank Catlin. I have not been able to find where they married but sometime around 1913 Ada moved to Canada. She was married to Frank in 1917 in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, Canada as Percy has Frank listed as his father in his War papers. Percy is also going by the last name of Catlin but when he marries he goes by last name Francis.

Percy died in North Battleford in 1933. Apparently John Herbert did not come to Canada with the rest of his family. Dora died in 1966 in British Columbia, Canada and Sidney died in 1973 in Armstrong, British Columbia.

Ada died in 1949 in British Columbia.

My husbands grandfather was Percy.
here's hoping we have some kind of a connection......

Re: Tong family in Ohio

BrendaSimek — 2008-05-11 23:28:03Z

You may have the following information but will send what I have. My Tongs are from Ohio also, but I do not think they are in the same linage as yours.

Leander Ransom Tong born July 1842 in Wyandot County, Ohio.
He died sometime between 1920 and 1930. He was the son of George Washington Tong. He was married to Catherine "Kate" Beck. Lenader served in the Civil War. He enlisted November 9, 1861. He was a private in Co. F 57th Infantry. He was discharged on Noveber 11, 1864. This information was taken from the 1890 Sepcial Schedule of the Census. He and his family were living in Ridge Township in 1890 and the census listed him as having rheumatism.

Thomas married Gladys registered at Lincoln in the June quarter of 1916. I think they had a child Thomas E in 1917. I would like to fit Gladys into the tree. Does anyone have this marriage on their tree?

I have three books edited by Rear Adm. Herald F. Stout USN (Ret.) prepared in 1974 and published by Finley-Stout-Tong Family Association. I am NOT related - but would love to find homes for these three. Possibly someone could pay the shipping and I'd be happy to mail to you.
Thanks!

Re: Sausah/Laura

AnneLeggettMcDonald — 2006-09-14 22:26:30Z

This is just a guess, but it looks to me as if someone had difficulty reading some handwriting, and read Laurah (variant spelling of Laura) as Sausah. Capital letters can be particularly difficult (for example, in one early census, the transcriber making the index thought a lot of Ls were Ts -- I could understand why when I looked at the census film, but it sure made my Lemasters hard to find!).

Re: Friendship Tongue

AnneLeggettMcDonald — 2006-09-14 22:26:30Z

Most of my info on the early Tongue families comes from the two editions of the books by Herald Stout. He is fairly careful about stating what he thinks he knows, and what are his educated guesses. Friendship had a posthumous son Friendship, it seems. Friendship Jr. is given as "possibly the father of William." William is the "most likely father of John." William and all the rest are most likely the children of John (although I have also seen it suggested that the father's name is really a James, at present I think John is more likely, given tax records and so on).

Thanks so much for the reference to the IGI. The last time I tried it for Tongues, either the relevant registers had not yet been transcribed, or I just totally missed them somehow....

I have long felt that Friendship's line and the line of the first Thomas Tongue are closely connected, but have no proof. Stein's history of Calvert County names the Thomas who was transported in 1650 as a son of Friendship, but this seems unlikely to me. There is a Thomas Tongue who has a lot of children baptized in the same church as Henry's children back in London, I see in the IGI, who seems to be a bit older. But even so, there is a gap between the early Thomas Tongues and the ones in your line.

I agree with you that the Thomas who married Elizabeth Roberts was most likely the son of James, who was the son of another Thomas Tongue. The probate record is very hard to interpret---too many Thomases, at the very least. I more or less gave up on figuring out if or how I was cousins with descendants of Thomas & Elizabeth (my ancestor is Eleanor Tongue who married Daniel Rankin), although it does seem very likely to me still that all are connected somehow or other.

Lawrence Richard “Dick” Tong Obituary

snicker1111 — 2007-10-25 20:08:53Z

Mountain Democrat
Placerville, El Dorado, Califonia
Monday 24 Oct 2007
page A-7

Lawrence Richard “Dick” Tong

July 11, 1928 - Sept. 30, 2007

Dick was born to Louise Sylvia and Stanley Raymond Tong July 11, 1928, near Truckee, Calif. The family moved to Georgetown when he was a child where he lived for most of his life.
From Oct. 14, 1952, to Dec. 29, 1953, he served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War.
Dick met Ester Eaton at Gerorgetown School, married her, and helped raise her three children.
Dick became a Christian in his late thirties and spent many hours studing the Bible, particulary Romans, and he and Ester led a local Bible study group for many years until they moved to Yerington, Nev. He had a strong moral compass, Christian values, and gave selflessly to others.
In 1992, Dick retired as the head of maintainence and transportation for the Black Oak Mine Unified School District after 30 years of service. Known as a skilled carpenter, Dick was able to apply his life-long passion for wood working building cabinets and furniture for the schools, which are still in use. During his retirement, Dick and his wife Ester moved to Yerington where he built a wood shop and spent his later years building furniture and cabinets with a special interest in naturally finished hardwood.
He is survived by a brother, Max Tong; his late wife's two children; two grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and by many other children that attended his wife Ester's daycare program, to which he was known as “Grandpa Dick.”
Informal graveside services will be held at the Georgetown Pioneer Cemetery, Oct. 28, 2007, at 11 am. Please give rememberances to the Alzheimer Society. Arrangements entrusted to Chapel of the Pines Funeral Home.

andreagriffiths156 — 2006-10-25 12:38:46Z

Samuel Tong who married Isabella waterford is my Gr Gr Gr Grandfather.

Samuel Tong was quite influential in Hastings NZ where he settled. He basically started the Hastings Fire Brigade and had started Tong & Peryer Funeral Directors.

I think my great grandfather Mervyn Tong is his grandson. He sadly passed on a few years ago.

If you would like further info please get in touch. I have only just started looking into my family tree.
