Possible death for Robert is 1922 in Hotham West, Victoria, aged 88 years. Parents recorded as William TONKIN and Elizabeth WENDON. Robert's father is recorded as John in the marriage records but I'm certain this will be him and the informant has made an error with the father's name.

Mary died 1917 in Hotham, Victoria, aged 80 years. Parents recorded as Michael Walter TONKIN and Mary GLIDDEN. Don't know why TONKIN has been included after Walter. Another error on the informants part I expect.
