You have given us the 1841 references for the Lees and Ben Clegg ...but they are all the same! 

Oops, Debtwin......I'll check that out shortly.  Senior's moment!   

Added....correction....

The Benjamin Clegg 1841 reference is the HO107/1326/6/27/1 one.
For Ann Lee the most likely one found (going on her age at her third marriage and death) is  HO107/1340/5/22/6

I put in a correction, Dee       

(I didn't pick it up either!!    )

No sign of the John Lee I'm looking for, but very interesting that Joshua Lee was also a horse keeper.

Hi Dee

I did some searching on the London baptism index this morning ...searching for only "Edward" no surname bc 1808/9.

Got excited when I found an Edward Jacknell b 1808 s/o Richard and Susanne. I thought the "J" could be a "T" and the "n" a "w' ... I couldn't find him anywhere else ... I looked at it several times but now think it is a J.

There was also an Edward Tugwell 

What were the other names of Edward's children by Ann?

I know Ann had son Thomas born 1858 and Mary Ann born c1850, Deb. Neither were registered with Edward Tuckwell as the father.


Hearsay says that there were other children but I've found no record of them at this stage. It really is a tangle.

Your family are driving me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

They remind me of the Bauers LOL .....

Anyway ...just a thought.....

From the previous thread there is no Edward Tuckwell on IGI and I can't see him in the London/Middlesex baptism index. At the Old Bailey hearing there is mention of him being an orphan. It seems that he would have maybe mentioned he was one and one of the witnesses had no info regarding his status. What if he were a true orphan (dropped on the doorstep of some church or workhouse) and was just given the name Tuckwell. I know this doesn't help but I have reached the end of my tether LOL

BTW was IGI searched just in the London area? Maybe he came from somewhere else?

What were the names of the other women in the same area where Mary Ann got married who's maiden names were Tuckwell?

On a lighter note ...have you seen the pic of us on the panto thread ... Dee and Deb Twins together ...

Well Deb, I'm glad to know that Edward Tuckwell, orphan, is not just driving me crazy!       
(along with Ann Lee and Benjamin Clegg)

Until the 1880s, there were only two Tuckwell families in South Australia. Both fathers were Edward Tuckwell, but I have sorted them out and they are totally different families. The other Edward Tuckwell family left South Australia for the Northern Territory during the 1860s. There were no  women with the maiden name of Tuckwell at that time.   

Sorry I wasn't around today......eye specialist.

It's that time of the week again and here's a bit of a puzzler for you.   Vasquez109 is really hoping you can knock down his brick wall, or at least point him in another direction.

As usual, this Hunt will remain open for any further information which may come in.

Hi Dee

A couple of Clegg fragments:

A Mary Clegg, aged about 16, was housemaid/servant to Charles and Charlotte Dawson, managers of Oraparinna Homestead in 1865. At the end of that year the great drought drove them off the Station, and they shifted initially to Port Augusta. The family then went to Hanson / Farrell Flat where they took over the pub and later farmed in the area. Source: Henry Hammond Tilbrook papers, State Library of South Australia manuscript collections.

A Thomas Clegg died at/near Beltana in 1877. The headstone inscription (I have photographed it) reads: 'In Memory of Thomas Clegg who died 4th May 1877 aged 51 years'. I don't think he's in the SA BDMs.

Maybe something will fit with information you already have.

Frank

PS: congratulations re the outcomes of the bible search!
