Tuckers of Bedminster, Bristol, Horfield.

[egdal]

Hi

My ggrandmother was Grace Emily Brown (ne Tucker) of Bristol - born 12th. October 1885. Lost every trace of her after 1910. Have gone through the BMD 1910-1950 but no luck. Have a J77/78 search at the moment.

Looking for Tuckers of Bedminster, Bristol, Horfield. I´m more or less "up to date" until 1910.

Tuckers could be married to Cummins, Perry, Smith, Witts.

Have a name and address - written 1930-1950:
E. Witts
5 Churchway Avenue, Horfield.

Anyone know anything about this person/address?

I have a Tucker connection in Horfield - what were Grace's parent's names?

[egdal]

Hi 

Fathers name Edward Henry Tucker, b. Combe St. N. ab. 1853, m. Barton R. 1878, d. Bedminster 1920

Mothers name Ellen Amelia Tucker (ne Cummins), b.  Clifton 1848, d. after 1901

The J78/J77 1911-1925 search on Grace Emily Brown (ne Tucker) was negative.

Oh well, can't see a connection there, but it was worth a try.  I have an Bedminster ancestor Emily Andrews who was reported to marry a Tucker but I have trouble tracking it down.
thanks for letting me know, have a great Christmas.

Hi Louise
Do you know when your Emily Andrews was born? The name or other informations of this Tucker? You wrote something about a Tucker - Horfield connection. Did they live in Horfield?

And a great Christmas 2 U

Hi Egdal,
               Could your Grace have married again

[egdal]

Hi 

Yes she could have married again. Just made a J78 search 1911-1925 at The National Archives - NO luck  Cost me £60 Shows that she would have been Grace Emily Brown in 1925 and 40 years old. Being alone i think she must have stayed close to the Bedminster/Bristol family.

What I know is that my ggrandfather and she split 1911-1915. And she lost and never saw her 3 children again - among them my grandmother.

The death of Graces father juli 1920 - living 4 Ashton Gate Road, Bedminster. Have ordered his will.

And the marriage of her brothers and sister:

William Joseph Tucker to Alice Constance W. Venn. 4.q. 1903 Bristol
Lillie Louisa Ellen Tucker to Harry Perry. 4.q. 1910 Bristol
George Henry Tucker to Frances D. Grimmer. 3.q. 1915 Bristol
Daisy Annie Tucker to Harold H. Smith. 2.q.1914 Kingston.

My Bedminster/Horfield etc. Tucker connection is actually very tenuous.  My Gt.Grandmother's sister was supposed to have married a man called Tucker.  Apparently they were the parents of Sam Tucker who was a famous Bristol rugby player.  I can't find anything to back this up, but can't find anything to disprove it either.  Emily Andrews(my gt grandmother's sister) was one of 10 girls so there could have been confusion about which sister and I suspect Sam Tucker may in fact have been a grandson, not son of one of them.  All I know is Sam Tucker was born John Samuel Tucker in 1895.  One day I'll order his birth certificate just to get it out of my system!
thanks, Louise
