Hi
So many questions i hope someone could help,
back in 2008 you posted a load of Tuckey waterman.  I am researching William Tuckey born in london in 1802 approx and listed in the 1841 census and in baptism records for his children as a waterman or lighterman.

in your original list one william tuckey didn't finish his apprenticeship so am i right in supposing that he wouldn't have had the right to call himself a waterman in census returns?

also the william tuckey who it might be was apprenticed in 1812 when he would have been 10 - 11 years would that be correct?
is there anywhere that the apprenticeship agreements can be looked at?
Thanks to all the fellow genealogists out there, you're always so helpful

he gave his next of kin on his discharge papers in 1917, he  variously gave his occupation as steel erector or quarryman.
i have no idea when he arrived in the usa from ireland.  i know he came here to fight with the royal engineers in 1917 and his last son was born here  in 1923.  He stayed until his son was about two and a half then said he was going back to the states and would send for them but they heard no more.  his family here would like to know what happened to him
