Hi all,
I am trying to sort out my Tackaberry relatives in Ontario before heading to Dublin next month to do research in the RCB Library.
My ancestor Nathaniel Tackaberry b. about 1818 married Margaret FENNELL in Ireland in 1844 per marriage bond indexes. His first son Richard THACKABERRY (spelled that way on register) was baptised in 1847 in Tullow, Carlow and then the family headed to Perth County, Ont in 1848. Nathaniel was said to be from Co Wexford or Carlow. These were from a small tight-knit group of staunch Irish Protestants.
I have found the family only in the 1861 and 1881 census records, I think Ancestry must have mistranscribed their names.
I noticed James, Joseph Tackaberry, Thomas, and John Tackaberry all living with Margaret FENNELL, their mother, in Bruce County in 1881. There's also a mysterious 9-year-old Jane Tackaberry whose identity is a mystery.
In tracking down Joseph Tackaberry, I found another mysterious Joseph Tackaberry who died in 1939 in Detroit. He is born, per his death cert, to William Tackaberry and Jane Mitchell in 1857 in Listowel, Ontario. I am really confused about who William Tackaberry is and where he ties in to my family, if at all. Listowel is very near where my Tackaberrys lived.
Additionally, there is a Jane Tackaberry living with Margaret FENNELL in 1881 in Eastnor, Bruce County. She's 9 years old and not a child of Nathaniel/Margaret. How can I identify her?
Any help, or anyone related to William/Jane who can chime in, appreciated.
(Note there were a host of other Tackaberrys in Leeds and Huron Counties, but they mostly emigrated 1810-1820 whereas my Tackaberrys head over in 1848).

Hi Sandra, who does that tree say her parents are? Nathaniel and Margaret did have a daughter Frances Jane but she died in 1867. They would be too old to have a child in 1872 (over fifty).

Thanks Sandra, I have all of the details on the family's children and their burials (except the 1871 census) but I am trying to figure out:
1.) Who is Jane Tackaberry age 9 in the 1881 census
2.) Who is William Tackaberry father of Joseph Tackaberry who was b. 1857
The tree you found has Frances Jane/Fanny's dates wrong - she died 15 Mar 1867 not 1967 and was born in 1848. The Jane in the census is too young to be Nathaniel/Margaret's child as they'd be 50+ when she was born.
The William Henry Tackaberry who m. Martha Burnside would be too young to be father of Joseph Tackaberry b. 1857 because he was born around the same time.

Have you investigated this family ???

Thanks Sandra, I think this is the William and Jane Mitchell family and that that is the Joseph who was born in 1857! Now I am just wondering how William is connected to my Nathaniel? Wallace is a neighbouring town to Elma, where Nathaniel and Margaret Fennell Tackaberry lived...

On the 1930 census Gladstone Avenue Detroit, Wayne, Michigan.
John Jackson 57 born Michigan. barber.
Myrtle Jackson 47 born Michigan.
Neal Jackson 19 born Michigan.
Joseph Tackafcow 72 born Canada. widowed. first papers. imm 1866. father-in-law.
IF the immigration date is correct then William, Jane and Elizabeth (parents and sister) must have been in Michigan as well.

Thank you!!
None of Joseph's children's names ring a bell EXCEPT Franklin - I had a few "John Franklin Tackaberry"s in my tree but not sure if that's a coincidence. Wondering when William, his dad, died?

Not sure this gets us any nearer to the parents but Joseph also had a brother William
Wm J Tackaberg - 23 December 1860 Canada - passed away 25 August 1906 - aged 40 years - Sanilac, Michigan.

William is also consistent with an immigration date of 1865 - 1900 census , Sanilac, Michigan.

Wow Sandra, what a great find! Thank you so much. So now we know William Tackaberry was in Wallace as early as 1856. That's around 7 years after my Tackaberrys settled nearby...maybe I need to look into the land records for the area?

Looking for Jane Mitchell - this would be one to discount..........
There was a Jane Mitchell born 1837 living Huron County ontarion in 1851
Parents John and Mary both born 1811. Siblings John 14 years, William 10 years, Mary 8 years, Elizabeth 6 years, Ann 4 years and Christina 2 years.
Name was mis - transcribed as Jane Mitchael but was altered to Mitchell.
According to a family tree this Jane was born 5 January 1837 England and married William Dearing in 1855 Huron.
Parents were John Mitchell (1812 - 1886) and Mary Francis Couch (1812 - 1887)

No sign of William and Jane together in Michigan. Wonder if William passed away and Jane remarried - more food for thought -
I did see a record of a Jane Tackaberry born Canada 1841 (age would be slightly out) marriage to a John Roy - Sanilac, Michigan 13 October 1878
John Roy was 38 years. Jane was 37 years.
