As Stuart appears to have now added Maria Tucker and parents John Tucker and Maria Wellacott to his Ancestry tree, I can only assume that he is happy with at least some of the information provided here.

Louisa Tucker's father seems to have been William Tucker c1828 Sandford in the 1861 census above.

That would tally with this baptism:

John Tucker and Maria also had a son named William, but he was born 1810, and died as an infant:

So If Maria who married William Cousins, and her brother William Tucker c1828 are the children of Henry Tucker and Betty (nee Rice?) , then it would seem likely that the Maria Tucker who married George Slade was the child of John Tucker and Maria (nee Wellacott?), in this baptism posted previously:

The 'other' Maria seems to have married William Cousins in 1837:

William Ellis 24 servant c1827 Washfield, Devon, England Carpenter
Joseph Ellis 57 visitor c 1794 Washfield, Devon, England ag lab
Joseph Ellis 19 visitor c1832 Washfield, Devon, England ag lab

Unfortunately neither of her parents chose to reveal their name by staying with her during censuses from 1841,thru 1881, so I guess it would take her marriage cert to reveal the name of her father, and by default the likely name of the father of Maria Tucker who married George Slade.

A niece Louisa Tucker born c1858 Sandford is living with the Cousins family in 1871.

Louisa seems to be the daughter of a William Tucker:

Realms of supposition now, but Maria's possible fathers look like they could be brothers, in which case the paternal grandparents are the same whichever couple she belongs to:

Great minds think alike..... ;-)

Dunno how Stuart will work out which one, if either, is right - the two grooms may well be related anyway, so cousins as well as siblings can turn up as witnesses at weddings etc. which might otherwise have acted as pointers.

oops :-S

I'd already posted both those christenings for Maria, Ann, and probable marriages for both sets of her potential parents :-)

Hello Stuart and welcome to the community boards.




I will let Stuart know that he has replies to his query. :-)

Not sure how you work out which set of potential parents (if either) were Maria's, in the baptisms I posted previously.
