Walter was the son of Ernest Charles Coombs and Eliza Harriett Dennett. Toby’s great-grandmother Elizabeth Winfield was the daughter of William Patrick Winfield and Jessie Piggott.

Toby’s maternal grandfather was named Arthur J. D. Mathers.

Toby’s maternal grandmother was Felicity Edith Fennell (the daughter of Arthur Barney Fennell and Violet Edith Brown). Arthur was the son of Frederick Fennell and Susan Mattey.
