Richard Tong

The information below has been found on Family Search (Latter-Day-Saints) and Ancestry sites.
In my opinion this appears to be the best match so-far.
These villages are only within a few miles of each other but are quite doable for agricultural labourers at that time and as the spouse and birth dates are a close match it is worth collating the information and keeping them in mind until something else turns up to prove it one way or the other. Please be open-minded as records this far back are not great. Tell me what you think - HERE
