Marriage Notes: A marriage record has not been found. No marraige was found in Marion, Ralls, Monroe, Shelby, Know, Lewis, Pike or St. Louis counties in Missouri or in Illinois (statewide index). The marriage was not recorded in the records of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Hannibal.

General Notes: There is some question as to her place of birth. Her obituary states that she was born in Ross Carbray, County Roscommon, Ireland. However, her sister, Mary Collins' marriage record states that Mary was born in County Cork. They could have been born in different Ireland counties but I chosen not to record Johanna's place of birth until further proof is found.

6. Tobin tombstone (Father, Mother), lot no. 172 (Becker lot), St. Mary's Cemetery, Palymra Rd., Hannibal, Marion Co., Missouri; photographed by Julie Miller, CG, 19 September 2005. It is probable that the tombstones on the Becker lot for Father and Mother are the tombstones for John and Johanna Tobin. John and Johanna are listed in the St. Mary's Cemetery index published in 1993 by Tri-County Research. The entries for John and Johanna were recorded during a canvas of the cemetery in 1991. There is no Tobin lot in the cemetery. The staff at Holy Family Church informed me that the cemetery has been valdalized and that some of the stones were destroyed and had to be removed. According to Vicki Dempsey from the Molly Brown Birthplace Museum, John and Johanna had large headstones at one time.
