Carol, what was William's wife's name?

Potty

Potty Report 2 Nov 2016 13:06

the 1939 family in 1911:


Name:William Tucker
Age in 1911:28
Estimated birth year:abt 1883
Relation to Head:Head
Gender:Male
Birth Place:Brixton, London, England

Edit: according to a tree on Ancestry, this was William George Tucker, so probably not the correct one.

Dea Report 2 Nov 2016 13:05

We obviously have the correct family so I am trying to link that memorial card perhaps to the John who we have on the 1851 census as father of Edward - it does seem very likely but I would like to find the family on 1841.

If it is the same one he obviously went back to Devon so I would like to find him through the census's to get him back there before 1889 when he died.

Having difficulty with this.................

Just to add to Dea's 1851 census for John Tucker, Carpenter born Devon c1805, and son Edward born Devon c1834, the census image has Sth Moulton for John's birthplace, and dittoed for Edward.

SO Edward's baptism, with father John a carpenter, and mother Elizabeth?

Last name Tucker
Birth year 1833
Birth date 31 Jul 1833
Baptism year 1833
Denomination Anglican
Baptism place South Molton
Father's first name(s) John

This must be the death that Carol is referring to

DEATH Dec 1953

Tucker William H 71 Essex S W 5a 264

Dea Report 2 Nov 2016 12:54

If we are looking at Essex S.W. Reg. then it is more likely to be this one??

William Henry's death?


Deaths Mar 1954
Tucker William H 82 Essex S.W. 5a 179

If the age is correct, he was born far earlier than 1891.

Dea

Dea Report 2 Nov 2016 12:44

Yes, she didn't give me date of birth or death details for William this morning si I had no problem believing this was the correct one as she had given parent names.

I can't at the moment see a 1954 death in Walthamstow (which would come under West Ham) either ?

Carol

Carol Report 2 Nov 2016 12:44

Well I am not sure when he was born William Henry that is, I am only sure when he died which was 1953/4 and I know he was 71 when he died so my maths are well out :-(

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 2 Nov 2016 12:37

No problem, Dea. It's just confusing that Carol said that William Henry was born 1891ish. One would think that she wouldn't be 7 years out when he's her grandfather.

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 2 Nov 2016 12:30

Do you have William Henry's birth certificate? It's just that they already have a son William on the 1891 census.

Dea

Dea Report 2 Nov 2016 12:28

Ooops - Sorry Margaret, I was hoping to get the above posted before anyone had time to start looking but I was too slow off the mark......................... apologies <3

I have a head start on this one as Carol asked me to help in a pm this morning so I advised her to start a thread.

This is some of what I have so far:

This was the William Tucker mentioned in the 1891 for reference:

Now the marriage of his parents so we can work further back and hopefully connect to John:

We now know that Edward was born in Devon and his father was John, also born in Devon.
John was at that time a Carpenter.
