Hello,
I am trying to trace my family tree on the Tricker side. I have traced them back to William Tricker who was born 4 oct 1811 and married a Elizabeth Jenny and they had eight children. As far as i know they lived in Eye Suffolk. If anyone has any more information about this could they please let me know. ThankYou x

Hello Stricker and welcome to Rootschat
Eye seems a long way from the area where we usually find Tricker folk. Do you have details of them in Census in Eye?
I have no interest in the name myself but am in touch with some Tricker researchers in Australia that I have had the pleasure of meeting on visits to Suffolk.
There are a lot of Trickers in the area around Hadleigh/Boxford and then again in the Stowmarket area.
You will find the following websites will be useful in putting you in touch with other researchers, and for giving you information on the areas I have mentioned

hi
thanks for the reply. i can find loads in the stowmarket and ipswich area but none seam to match to my family. i have a grave number for the cemetary in eye and a name but as yet have not found the grave (ineed to have a good look!)
I havent looked at many of the census's as you have to pay for alot of them. I have got most of my information from the family bible that started in the early 1800's and included every birth, death and marriage. I just seam stuck and cannot trace back any further the last one i have is william tricker who died on 14 oct 1847.
I need help if anyone knows any more.
Thank you x

Hi Stricker
I think the maiden name of Elizabeth is incorrect and should read Jessup not Jenny. Looked for the marriage of William and Elizabeth and the only possible entry is a William Tricker and Betsey (pet form of Elizabeth) Jessup registered Hartismere district (which covered Eye) in Mar.qtr. of 1848 - Vol.13 - page 625. From looking at census their eldest child is William b.1849 and, again looking in Hartismere district William Jessup Tricker was b.1849 (and died 1888). Is it possible the entry in the Bible could read Jessup rather than Jenny?
The 1841 Census shows (transcribed as Fricker) at Eye:
William 55
Sarah 55
William 25
Sarah 25
James 15
Robert 3 (suspect this was probably a grandchild)
Ref. HO107-1023 - 8 - 7 - 6 - all born Suffolk.
The 1841 Census did not show relationships, ages were rounded down and it only showed whether born in county or not, not exact places.
William Tricker senior appears to have died Dec. qtr. 1847 Hartismere which ties in with the William death entry you mention.
Tried to check the IGI on familysearch but unfortunately the site is down for maintenance so I can't see if there are any entries on there that could relate to the family.
So, at the moment can only say that William Tricker's parents were a William and Sarah.

Annette, perhaps the bible entry states her two forenames, Elizabeth Jenny Jessup?
Just a thought ;)
How wonderful to have your family bible stricker.
Stricker, as you mention going to Eye to look for the grave, are you near to Suffolk?
The census returns are available to search at all three branches of the SRO as are the parish records for the whole county.

Doh!
You can also find Eye on the Suffolk Parish Look Up Exchange at

Familysearch.org now working - there are only a few extracted entries for Eye and a number of submitted ones.
William's baptism not on there but did find some other children of William and Sarah:
Samuel bp.25/11/1810 son of William and Sarah
Sarah bp.21/12/1814 dau. ditto
Mary Ann bp.11/4/1824 ditto (aged 3)
Elizabeth ditto ditto (aged 9)
Agnes ditto ditto (aged 5)
Eleanor ditto ditto (aged 2)
James ditto ditto (aged 1)
There is also a submitted entry showing a William Tricker bp.8/5/1785 son of Mira Tricker. Guess, as advised by suffolkmawther, you really need to check Eye parish records.

Forgot to mention that one submitted entry stated Sarah's maiden name as Taylor.

hi,
thanks for the baptism dates the majority of them match exactly!
I do have an entry in the bible for a jessup but it is of a Charles and Mariah/Marian Jessup who had two daughters Mary and Lucy and Two sons Charles and Charles (one died at 10weeks). Although i have this information about the Jessups i have no way of matching it into the family.
The mother of William Tricker (Mira) is very helpful as the dates fit and i have not been able to find out about his parents. Thank You.
Suffolkmawther i only live a couple of villages away. the family has not moved far since the 1800's lol

I have been looking at the baptism registers for Ardleigh in Essex and the images available at the Essex RO website at http://seax.essexcc.gov.cc D/P 263/1/5 for years 1790-1812.
At the end of the 1812 baptisms there are some pages about church inventories etc and a survey of the parish conducted in 1795? by visitation by, presumably, the vicar. The results are compiled by family groups including servants and give ages and relationships.
Anyway in image 16 of the above website reference is included a William Tricker age 30 a servant of George Biggs innkeeper.
I have not seen any Tricker baptisms in 1790-1812 but I have seen lots of Mira(h)s* baptised and wonder if there is an underlying reason for that.
I cannot recall seeing that forename before anywhere in Essex

My collected data lists a William Tricker base born 8 May 1785 in Eye mother listed as Mira Tricker (maybe Miram shorten as have reference to this name elsewhere) I have no birth/baptism for Mira in Eye before this date but record Tricker here as early as 1705.
I record the following details with the birth record but not necessary found with it just that it seems to relate to this William - illegite. Poss Harrison was father but they were not married at the time if they ever did Creator(s): Church of England, Wortham Parish, Suffolk Information and complaint of Richard Minter of Wortham, bleacher, against William Tricker of Eye, collar-maker, for not keeping to his agreement with Richard Marjerom his apprentice ref. FB131/G1/21 - date: 24th Mar 1817
I have the baptism as 8Sep1875 mother as Mira
(I listed both birth/baptism as have no reference to Harrison on baptism not sure how accurate IGI is, it may be speculation).
He married Sarah TAYLOR 14Oct1809 in Eye both were single a Robert TAYLOR was listed as bondsman and was a witness to the marriage.
1830 Pigots directory list under Saddlers one William TRICKER, Castle St, Eye
I record their house address in 1841 as Sowgate St, Eye and agree with the assessment of Robert being a grandchild probably son of Sarah but there was on other daughter surviving Elizabeth who does not appear in the 1841 census. I have no reference to Robert after 1841.
I list Sarah as being buried 25Sep1847 aged 65 (1782) and William 14Oct1847 aged 62 (1785)
I record 9 children (5F & 4M) 3 girls died before age 15, Sarah mentioned in the census I have being buried 18Nov842, Elizabeth I connect to a marriage to a John LARKMAN 25Aug1843 in Ely, Cambridgeshire. Of the males a Robert died as an infant, Samuel I do not find anything on after 1841 and a James marries a Louisa WATLING in 1862 and lives and dies in Swaffham, Norfolk in 1893 Louisa in 1913.
William was bap 21 Jun 1812, married Elizabeth JESSUP 20Jan1848 in Eye. I add the following notes - William single, full age a Harnessmaker, married after banns read 2, 9 & 16 Jan 1847, father: William a harnessmaker. 1879 Kelly's Directory list William, saddler & harness maker, Lowgate Street
Elizabeth single full age, father: Charles a coachmaker The marriage record shows her name as Betsey, finding the Chr record for Elizabeth dau of Charles and Maria Jessup 5 June 1825 supports name change.
William buried 2 Feb1876 aged 65 and Elizabeth 11 Jan 1879 aged 53 in Eye.
William and Elizabeth first born was named William Jessup TRICKER 1848-1888 as suggested. I am guessing you know the rest it would be good to catch up one day and compare notes.
In preparing this I have just connected that my great grandfather married a TAYLOR who was born in Great Oakley but her grand father came from Eye, I will have to check for any connection to Sarah TAYLOR it would be same time period
Regards
Geoff

thanks tryykersfield! alot of that matched what i already have! we thought william could possibly be illigitamate but wasnt sure!
also i think all the jessups died of the plague as they all died in the same year apart from mira who survived till she was in her 70's
, im unsure of how the jessups came into it as they are mentioned in the bible but not how they are connected :S
