TRURO - Saunders - 1840's

[carlypink]

Hallo again

Sorry to confuse you I didn't expain very well.

William was John Saunders Duck's grandfather! Ellen & Grace's dad! he was the Compositor and would probably have been the influence on John to go into the same trade, they were living at the same house in 1891 when John was called Sloman and only 11 years old.

The Duck side is unknow apart from the info on the birth cert  John Duck (Plumber) there are so many and it does not give his age or where he came from.

Are you a member of Ancestry? I can Email a copy of the cert to you if you give me your Email address? Where do you live? I am in Sutton, Surrey.

Did you get a chance to look at the Jennifer Dancy site yet? I also got an Email from a Jennifer Tregenza, which was the maiden name of Williams wife Elizabeth! John's Grandparents.

Regards
Jo

Hi again

I have been going through John Duck's Military service record (quite a long one with many pages. His res. is 66 Grove Lane and he is a Bomber) and see that his wife is FLORENCE MABEL BENNETT.
They were married 9 Feb 190? at the Camberwell register Office
witnesses:
Beatrice M Bennett
Alfred Hudson

The date of marriage is 1900 but that has been crossed out and 1901 is written in underneath.

it also names his 7 children and their POB and DOB (including John Alfred Charles Duck 1906, I see he is on your family tree)

the only marriage I can see is
John HINTON Duck = Florence Mabel BENNETT
Mar q 1901 Camberwell
 


Jo, does your friend have John S Duck's marriage cert? If so what are the details?
