Does anyone feel like helping me with a bit of detective work for me please? I had a bit of help in chat yesterday but ran out of time and have just been going round and round in circles ever since! None of the records quite seem to match up enough.
Based on this marriage record, which I am 99% certain is the correct one for my family, I have been trying to trace Annie and her father, Daniel, in the 1841, 1851 and 1861 census, and Daniel's marriage record, to find out more about the family, including mother's maiden name to go back further. In later census Annie gives her birth year as 1846 and birth place Ilfracombe.
Arthur Henry Miller, bachelor, son of Henry Miller m Annie Tucker, spinster, daughter of Daniel Tucker on 3 Sep 1865 at St Clement, Bristol

If she is correct about place and date of birth, this could be her from Freebmd. Barnstable was the registration district for Ilfracombe
Births Dec 1846
Tucker Ann
Barnstaple 10 34
Then using the GRO site her mother's maiden name was GEEN
TUCKER, ANN GEEN
GRO Reference: 1846 D Quarter in BARNSTAPLE UNION Volume 10 Page 34
ADDED: Possibly not, as there is a marriage for a Sarah Geen Sep 1838 Barnstable, and on the same page a William Tucker.

There's a Daniel Tucker in Morthoe nr Ilfracombe, with wife mary. Amongst their children is an Ann, but she's b c1841

This one looks most likely to me but it's not great is it?!
I have just cross referenced every Ann Tucker birth in Barnstaple to work out possible maiden names with the names of various siblings on cenus entries but none quite match. I wondered if I was missing something.

Is that this family in 1851? HO107 Piece number 1893 Folio 96 Page 13
Church Hill, Ilfracombe, Barnstaple, Devon
Daniel Tucker 58 Ag Lab Devon
Mary Tucker 38 Devon
Ann Tucker 10 Devon
Eliza Tucker 4 Devon
Daniel Tucker 0 Devon
How old was her husband, perhaps if she was older than him she told a little white lie about her age?

I think it is same family - in 1841 it says Daniell Tucker,
Annie's husband Arthur Miller was born 1844 so that theory might make sense.

I can't find any of them in 1861. ???

might this be them in 1861?

Possible that Daniel and Willam have their ages the wrong way round as they are out of order?

Its a right mess -they are listed in order given - Eliza's age is 10 entered in male column then crossed through and 13 entered in female column!!!

You left out Jane aged 6, and Daniel is aged 3 months.
There are DENDLE families living on either side of them and I thought that Mary might be a DENDLE but I can't make sense of the registered births.

-
There seem to be some births registered to Tucker with maiden name Dendel too. Mis spelling/transcribing or different family?
(I want the Mary to be Mary Dendle because it would provide a really weird coincidental link - I *think* Mary Dendle's brother's descendent was my primary school headteacher! It is the right area but we had only just moved to Devon not thinking we had any ancestors in that area at all!)
-
Daniel Tucker married Mary Dendle 4/2/1837 Mortehoe, Devon - both single. He signed, she made her mark. Witnesses Thomas Dendle (his mark) and Thomas Coniber (? hard to read).

Although later living in Ilfracombe, all children of Daniel and Mary were baptised in Mortehoe, with Anne Tucker bp.2/5/1841 (FindMyPast)
