Help with confusing Tucker greatly appreciated!

[snootycat]

 Hi,
would be grateful with some help sorting out my fathers line as I have ground to a complete halt. My father was Harold Alfred Frederick Tucker, his father was Alfred Tucker 1878 -1944 born city rd London, and dying in Edmonton. His father William John Tucker married to Betsy Porter, born 1839-in Denmark Street St Giles and dying 1925. I have good records on him. Where I start to run into problems is with his father. I have a Richard Henry Tucker, born 1811, who married a Charlotte Tillyer in 1834,resident in St Anne Soho, described as a tailor, back in St Giles in 1851 and at St Pancras in 1861. I run into a complete full stop with his parents, who I have little info on other than a name Richard Tucker and a wife Elizabeth Hodder. Looking around in the records even more confusingly there is ANOTHER Richard Tucker married to a Charlotte who even had a son called William, this chap lived in Devon. Its rather confusing because I am wondering why I cant track Richard Tuckers parents and if I have made a error somewhere? Would be grateful for any help in getting over the Richard Tucker hurdle!
Thanks
Pam

It's always best to separate info as it reads better

Harold Alfred Frederick Tucker was born when and where?

His father was Alfred Tucker b City Rd London 1878 - died 1944 Edmonton - who was his mother?

Alfred's father was William John Tucker b 1839 who married Betsy Porter (they married  7.5.1865).  1851 shows William's birthplace as St Ann's Middlesex

William John's father was Richard Henry Tucker b 1811 who married Charlotte Tillyer in 1834.  No birthplace given for Richard - 1851 shows Lambeth Surrey

I run into a complete full stop with his parents, who I have little info on other than a name Richard Tucker and a wife Elizabeth Hodder

Where did you get that info from?

Hi Pam

There is a baptism for Richard Tucker, 29 March 1810 at St Mary Lambeth, mother Susan, no father shown.

As Carole asks, where did your info on Richard Tucker who married Charlotte Tillyer come from?

I have a Richard Henry Tucker, born 1811, who married a Charlotte Tillyer in 1834,resident in St Anne Soho

Where did the Henry come from?  Marriage entry only shows Richard as does 1841/51/61 entries

Richard Tucker & Elizabeth Hodder married at St George Hanover Square, 19 October 1807, witnesses were Francis Tucker & Catherine Cockren

Hello,
gosh I have got several replies. Yes I have the record of the marriage at Hanover Square, and I got the names of people by going backwards through the census records. If anyone wants to see my tree I will open it up on Ancestry to public view for a while. It isnt normally open because of a family feud. Its the Chan family tree, I suspect there is only one of them. Tucker is on my fathers side. The records for the Tuckers are quite good until I hit Richard. I will just check what its called!
Thank you all for your help, it would be nice to go back more on the family name.

Ok, found the tree on mundia.com

The Richard Henry Tucker you have links to is not your ancestor!

using the probate calendar, his address at death is given as Sherborne Street, Marylebone.

Looking at the 1881 census and working backwards, he is at Sherborne Street 1881 & 1871, at 65 Charlotte Street in 1861 and Clipstone Street in 1851 with wife Jane. His place of birth is consistently shown as Westminster and his later children were all born in Marylebone.
