In 1828-1829 Jonathan and William PILKINTON had a business in Market Place, Market Deeping, Lincolnshire. They were grocers, drapers and tallow chandlers. In 1842 the business appeared to belong to Thomas and Elizabeth PILKINTON, and it is possible that a William TOLLER may have obtained an interest by about 1843 when Elizabeth PILKINTON became Elizabeth TOLLER.
