I am interested in the staff at the Cottage Hospital, Eton Wick. Does anybody know if staff records still exist for the years 1901-1911?

Here's a strange coincidence. In the 1851 census Thomas Forman Taylor was born in Enfield c.1785. And I noted "Priscilla Forman was born around 1732 in Boston, Lincs." in a previous message.

Curiouser and curiouser......

Hi Melanie,

Still finding my way round this site. I've been researching family for years and only just found rootschat. Can't find the last post I wrote to Don.

Anyway, the Tuckney I have found was born in Enfield, Middx, c.1855. He is definitely the man in the photograph. He married Elizabeth Scribbins in late 1879. So far I haven't found any children.

In my previous message I mentioned Edward Tuckney Wilmot. I believe he adopted the name Tuckney around the time he married, as I can't find any reference to it in any previous census forms. They must have all known each other.

My Gt. Grandfather was also Edward Wilmot. He married Maria Scribbins, sister of Elizabeth, in 1877, (still have orignal Marriage Cert.)

How Tuckney and Elizabeth met, I have no idea. (I do know how Edward and Maria met.) The three Scribbins sisters, together with their parents came to London from Somerset.

Back to Tuckney. The line I've followed in the 1851 census shows another one also born in Enfield, and so were his parents. Another member of the family was born in Cheshunt, which as you probably know is just North of Enfield.

Strangely, a visitor on the census, is George Tuck Smith, born in Scotland.

In 1841 census there seems to be only two. One Tuckney b. Enfield c.1825, and Tuckney, son of Tuckney and Rebecca, b. 1832 in Lincolnshire. There doesn't seem to be any evidence connecting these two, but who knows?

Sorry if this is a bit garbled.

Best wishes

Rick

Hi,
Thanks for replies. (It will take me a while to find my way around this site.  :-[ )

Winifred Dennett b. 1882, m.1914. Her father died, 1887, when she was very young and she went to live with her aunt and uncle, George & Elizabeth Wilmot. I think her mother died at Wimborne, Dorset, in 1907. (Not certain about this one.) George was one of my Gt. Grandfather's brothers.

Winifred married Samuel Timms in 1914 and George Wilmot was one of the witnesses at the wedding.

What I would like to find out is whether or not Winifred had children.

George and Elizabeth Wilmot didn't have any children of their own, as far as I can see. George was difficult to trace as he (or the enumerator) spelt Wilmot the four different ways on the census forms throughout his life.

Looking for anybody who knows anything about Samuel Timms and Winifred C. Timms nee Dennett. Probably in the Oxfordshire area.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. This name has popped up in my family research. It could be just circumstantial but I don't think the name is particularly common.

So this is what I have, although it isn't a great deal:

Marriage cert. Jan. 22nd, 1879, William Lovegrove married Sarah Wilmot at Cookham Dean. Witnesses, Tuckney Taylor and Elizabeth Scribbins.

Death cert. of Thomas Wilmot shows Edward Tuckney Wilmot, son, being the informant. Edward T. was married at Eton in 1902. My Gt. Grandfather was also Edward Wilmot and he was married to Maria Scribbins. They were lodging house keepers in London.

Finally, I have a photograph from around the mid-1880s showing Mr. & Mrs. Taylor, Mr. & Mrs. Pratt (I know who they were), and an unknown woman. Unfortunately, no christian names for the Taylors. The two couples were my father's uncles and aunts. Now I am guessing that the Mr. taylor could have been Tuckney! Mrs. Pratt was formerly Mary Ann Scribbins. They ran The Fleece pub in Chelmsford in 1901.

I don't know what you'll make of this, but I would certainly like an opinion.

Regards

Richard Wilmot

Hi,
Just joined roots chat and found your thread. Tuckney Taylor is a strange name. I have something which may interest you, or may not, as the case may be. If you would like to email it is (*)
