Hi Everyone
I do not know what to do next in looking for my Luck's.
This is what I know,
John Luck b 1815 Mayfield Shoemaker and Elizabeth Foster b 1815 bootbinder. M April 1842 Brighton.
In the 1871 census
(Tuck) John and Elizabeth are with 4 children Elizabeth (oxley and her son Alfred) Sarah, Mary and John with Jane French and her dau Mary. and then ALFRED 1870 SON.
Then on the 1881census
John Luck and Elizabeth are with Alfred J Luck, he is now a grandson,
I will not be able to figure out who Alfred's parents are until I can get birth and marriage cert.
Alfred is my Great Grandfather.
I can not find ANYTHING on John Luck 1815.
I was just wondering if any one could help?
Thanks a lot

Not quite sure which birth certificate you needed - but if it was Alfred's
Alfred John Luck registered Q3 1868 Brighton Vol 2b. Pg. 213
-
1841
House of Correction, Lewes, Sussex
John Luck 25, Prisoner - Higgler(?) Born in County
If this is yours you may be able to find a record of his conviction?

Higgler - Itinerant peddler. A lot of the Higgler's trade involved barter, rather than money changing hands and the name derives from the resultant haggling.

Right - I think that ALFRED JOHN LUCK is the son of JOHN LUCK and JANE FRENCH, but born before their marriage in 1872, Brighton. Obviously the birth certificate should confirm this :)

Hi
My thanks to everyone for as normal your very quick replies.
Looking for info on John Luck 1815. Birth and christening.
Higgler- you learn something new every day.
I also thought that john and Jane could have been Alfred's parents but could not understand why he was named Luck b 1868 then Jane French 's daug was Mary French b 1870, mind you as i'm sure you have all found out anything was possible in those days.
1841 House of correction. How and where will I find any info?
Hi Toni
I think we may have spoken earlier today.
