Notes

  • Other children in the 1852–64 household book: Kaddri (b. 1842), Marri (b. 11 Sep 1844) and Tõnis (b. 26 Nov 1849); not yet given files. A separate Tõllasepp household (Tõnis b. about 1809, wife Marie) is on p. 202 of the same book; relationship unknown.
  • Possibly related to Tönis Töllasep of Waigo Jahn (U-002); a Jürri and a Marret Töllasep appear as godparents in 1864. Check the 1850 and 1858 revisions for a Jaan Töllasep household with a son Jaan b. 1840.
