If you google ‘Albert Tonkinson rugby’ it brings up a bit of information and a few photos of your grandad. Also try the Cas heritage project at Castigersheritage.com and put his name into the search it again brings up a few photos of him. If you are trying to trace him you may also be able to do this by e-mailing the heritage project as they may possibily have been in touch when putting the project together.

Hope this helps.

Sorry l cannot add anything but this. is an excellent example of the value of the forum
I will speak with my father in law later to see if he can help.
He's been coming down the lane for a little over eighty years.
Good luck with your quest.
