George Guckes Tonbridge 1881
« on: Saturday 25 November 06 20:22 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for George Guckes born Germany 1816 and living in Tonbridge on the 1881 census.
I have him on the 71 as a lodging house keeper & living with son Henry on the 91 but no sign on the 81. He should be on the 51 & 61 but no sign as yet.
Whilst on this subject does anyone know why there would be so many German families in Tonbridge at this time ?

I can see a George Tuckes indexed (67y/1814) in Sevenoaks b Germany.
Can anyone else have a gander at the original?

What are his son (Henry's details for 1881)?

Hi Pauline
              You may be on to something here. It looks good and the original could be viewed as Guckes.
His son Henry b.1841 Germany married Lucy Martin b. 1848 Newick living at 19 Davers Road Tonbridge in 1881.

Well, If George Tuckes seems to be a good 'un,; You're very welcome to consider him.
I asked about Henry simply because It's another set of criteria to search.

I was going to suggest an 1871 search concentrating on Lucy & Edith (dau in 1881) . However I then  realised that Henry didn't marry until 1875.
