birth of Eliza Jane Tuck abt 1883 possibly Tanfield / Lanchester

Update: GRO have refunded part of my order (for the birth and marriage cert of Eliza). They seemingly have found the marriage – I’ve not got it yet, but they couldn't find her birth. (I'd ordered that birth certificate based on me hoping that the Took name was really Tuck).
GRO response:
‘There is no trace of the above mentioned person at the reference you quoted.
Eliza J Tuck        1883   Dec   Lanchester   10a   292 ‘
Wondering now, should I have named her as Took which is the name on the record I found on Ancestry, even though I’m hoping she’s Tuck?  If I do, and they find her as Took, can I assume they will see an alternative spelling on their records? If it remains as Took, dare I assume she is my great grandmother?
Think I’d best wait to see what the marriage cert throws up, if anything…….

Good luck with the Cert. Let us know the outcome

"‘There is no trace of the above mentioned person at the reference you quoted.

They are correct. Eliza J. was registered as "Took" Both on the original GRO Registers and Free BMD. Exactly the same registration date/references as you have.

Thank you. Well, think I'll order that cert again (after the mentioned marr cert arrives) using the Took name, then see if her parents turn out to be William and Charlotte, which would fit the many censuses that may be the family, with spelling variations Look, Tack and Took! If not....I give in!!! The waiting in between is killing me!

In addition to this, as I suggested here
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=699822.msg5432878#msg5432878 it's always worth cross-checking surnames on the Durham Registrar's site.

This confirms Eliza Janes surname as Took not Tuck

Sarkeld, Sawkill and Salkelo!!!

Salkelo was a mis-transcription from the original index onto freeBMD. The original index definitely showed Salkeld

Yay! The marriage cert has arrived. Married 11 March 1905 at reg office, Chester-Le-Street Durham. Thomas, a coalminer was 20 and Eliza 21. The residence for both was No Place, Beamish, Urpeth Durham. His father was Thomas, a colliery labourer and hers was William, a coal miner. Witnesses were Hannah Tuck and Henry Tuck. So chuffed I have her father William, meaning the censuses could be theirs. Will order that Took birth cert today to see what it brings. Will get searching for Hannah and Henry too.......

Got the birth cert for Eliza Jane 'Took', and her parents are indeed William and Charlotte nee Nelson! Born 27 Aug 1883 Tanfield Lea. Father miner. So the many censuses etc you helpers have found, plus further I've found since, do show the Tuck name to be recorded in several ways! Isn't it great when another piece of an enormous jigsaw start finally coming together. Thanks so much everyone

Just have to add this funny moment I had a little earlier; was washing up thinking of my tree when up popped a little memory I had as a girl, when some older relative told us all we were related to Nelson!! (meaning Horatio). Obviously we are not, but the clue was there all along, the name Nelson in our ancestry.
