Tuckwell family Berks

[Abiam2]

I have hit the inevitable brick wall!  I have Joseph Tuckwell born abt 1776 Berkshire married Levina (Lavinia?) Green born abt 1787 Chilton.  They married at Great Marlow Bucks in 1810 and had 6 children all born in the Parish of Cookham.  I have traced Lavinia back to her Grandmother but Joseph appears to have arrived from another planet!!!
I have searched BVRecords and IGI also several websites that show the name Tuckwell but all to no avail.  So "chatters" any help would be very welcome,
Regards, Abiam

I see they had children John and Sarah plus others, so how about this one from IGI?

Joseph Tuckwell chr. 23/05/1784 Long Wittenham, Berks
Parents - John and "Sararh"

Not sure where Long Wittenham is in relation to Chilton.......

Chilton, Berks is now in Oxfordshire, on the Downs not far from Didcot.  Long Wittenham is on the south bank of the Thames about seven miles away (as the crow flies).

Joseph Tuckwell in 1841 was recorded as aged 62 - which puts his birth c1778.  Is it his death registered March Q 1843 in Cookham district?  I am wondering how you know he was born at Chilton, if he didn't survive to have his birthplace recorded in 1851, and you haven't found a christening record?

If perhaps. he is recorded as 'of the Parish of Chilton' in the marriage register, he could quite easily have been born elsewhere in Berkshire - and if he was not baptised as a baby, the Long Wittenham Joseph Tuckwell may be him.

Hi all,

I got my info from Family Search as a Fanmily Group Record.
It says Joseph Tuckwell: Born abt 1783 Place Chilton Berkshire England

Pressed wrong key!
catone, Kn, and Gallium,
Here's what I have:
Family Search      Family Group Record
 Joseph Tuckwell   Born:  abt 1783 Chilton Berks
                             Married: 5 March 1810 Place: Great Marlow Bucks
No parents listed

Levina Green:      Chr. 1787 Place: Chilton Berks
                            Died: 1848 Place: Bray Berks
                            Married:  1810 Place: Great Marlow Bucks

parents: William Green
               Rachel Charlwood

Also in the Berks Burial Index I found
Levinia Buried 1848 and Joseph Buried 1843 both Cookham.
Which is why we can't find them in the 1851 census.

So, what do you think?

It is a sad fact that a lot of information in those Family group records has to be taken with a very large pinch of salt. 

Whoever submitted this one doesn't know who Joseph's parents are,  which makes it pretty certain that they haven't seen a baptism record, and are only guessing the year he was born.  They have an exact date for the marriage, which suggests that they may have seen the original record of the marriage entry - which  perhaps says that he is 'of Chilton'.   But of course that is no indication of where he was born. 
The 1841 census does say he was born in Berkshire, however, so you do have that clue.

[Abiam2]

I expect you are right.  They probably looked at her birth place and assumed he came from there as well.
If only the 1841 census told us more...
Don't really know where else to look, but thanks for your views,
Abiam

Hello,
Lavinia Green was christened 8 April 1787 Chilton parents William and Rachel but there is no baptism for Joseph Tuckwell in 1783 in the Chilton fiche from Oxfhs. No Tuckwells at all.
