David . 1867 -1936?. Living with his sister, Elizabeth, in 1881C, after both his parents have died [ in 1877 & 1880], working as a travellers boy, aged 14. 1891C.- see image below - Living, aged 23, single, barman, at 11 Kinross Street, as a visitor, in same household as his newly married sister, Margaret Rixon. [mistranscribed as Daniel Tobin] . There is a marriage of a David Matthew Tobin in St. Olave 1d.533 Jun 1890 to Margaret Carney. This marriage, to Margaret Carney, is not him, as a David & Margaret Tobin appear as a unit in both the 1891C and the 1901C. Also a marriage Dec 1890 Tobin David Holborn 1b 1287 . This is also not him; wife here is Rhoda Sheppard and in 1901C a David & Rhoda Tobin appear together as a unit. Only marriage of a David Tobin 1891-1901 is in Chorlton in 1892: this David was born in the East Indies,from the 1901C entry for Manchester!. 'Our' David is in 1901C with his sister, Elizabeth Lyons, aged 30, married, wharf labourer, brother-in-law[to Timothy Lyons] but no wife.. 1911C, living , aged 43, single, given as a Packer & Sorter, b.Bermondsey, in Belmont Workhouse, Brighton Road ,Sutton . Thus feel 1901C entry giving him as married is a mistake. Our David probably appears again in 1920, for 1 year only, described as David Dobin, in 3 Marcia Road, the house where his sister, Elizabeth, and husband Timothy Lyons, are living, as a voter in the Electoral Roll Book. He, nor the other 2 David Tobins , seem to die before 1929. He might have died in 1936 in Bermondsey, 1d.165, aged 68: only 3 David Tobins born in England 1855-1885, 1 in 1857, ours in 1867 and 1 in 1869.
