TRICKER, Richard and Eliza decendants??

[dedted29]

Richard TRICKER, b. <1815> in "near to Hadleigh"(other census' show Tuddenham, Ludenham, etc.), d. 1904, West Ham, Essex.  There is an IGI record of a birth/christening for a Richard Tricker, 26 Mar 1815, s/o William Tricker and Sarah, in Hadleigh.  There is another IGI record for an Eliza TRICKER, b/c 28 Dec 1813 for a William Tricker and Sarah in Hadleigh as well. 

Richard  married Eliza Chapman in 1839 in Middlesex.  In 1851 Richard and Eliza are in Sawbridgeworth, Herts. with children:

Mary Ann b. 1842
Arthur      b. 1843
Reuben    b. 1844  (My g-grandfather)
William     b. 1846
Walter      b. 1850

Reuben TRICKER married Lydia E. Fryer 1870 in London.  The following children of Reuben and Lydia survived to adulthood and may have decendants:

My grandfather is
Albert Charles b. 1888, West Ham, Essex 
d. 1976, Oregon, USA 

Also surviving were:
Alfred Reuben b. 1878, Essex   d. <1954>
Mabel Gertrude b. 1882, Essex  d. <1958>
Maud Elizabeth b. 1873,             d. <1959>
Percy Valentine b. 1880, Essex   d.               , Canada
Louis Richard    b. 1884, Essex   d.               


I am hopeful of finding others who may be researching this line of Trickers or possible connections.  Surprisingly Richard was not common given name among TRICKER families and Reuben is very rare.  When I started researching I foolishly assumed TRICKER was an uncommon name since I grew up in a state where 5 of 6 TRICKER families were related.  I was very surprised when I discovered just how many TRICKER'S there were in England.

Thank you for reading my post!

Hi cndtedder,

Just a thought - do you know when/where Eliza Chapman was born?

I have a few Chapmans on my site here - have a quick look.

Thank you so much for such a quick reply.  Eliza was b. <1820> in Sheering, Essex.  Her father is listed as Thomas Chapman, Wheelwright, on the marriage record.  A witness to the marriage was John Chapman and the witness was Elizabeth Whyman.  Eliza d. 1894 in Essex as well.  Again many thanks!  Dawn

Hi Dawn,

The 1841 entry for the Trickers reads as follows  ...

HO107/434/8.   F.14.  P.21.  Cock Street, Sawbridgeworth.
Tricker Rich  25   Shoe Maker   Not in county.
Tricker Eliz   20   In county
Tricker Mary   Inf   In county.
(Adult ages rounded down to nearest 5)

The IGI records the christening of Mary Anne d/o Richard and Eliza Tricker at Sawbridgeworth on 22 August 1841.

Hope this helps.

Regards   ...   Peter

Thank you very much!  Is Sawbridgeworth too large or unindexed where it would be difficult to look for TRICKER, possible Sarah or Mary as the head of the household probably with children still at home??  I'm sorry I don't have anything else to offer and I am not even sure the family is in Herts.  Thank you again, Dawn

Hi Dawn,

I have trawled the whole of Sawbridgeworth but regret there are no further entries for the Tricker family.
