Hi Vicwiann,
Well, at least I can rule out Chilton as his birth place, thank you for that.  There are lots of Tuckwells in Hagbourne which is quite near which I shall investigate.
I still have a feeling he originated in the Cookham, Maidenhead area but have nothing to back this up.  I'm sure I've seen something somewhere.... when I wasn't looking for it!
Maybe someone can tell me more about Joseph and Lavinia's time in Cookham or am I clutching at straws?
Regards
Abiam

Abiam, I see that the burial index has Joseph's age as 67,  which together with the census information implies an earlier birthdate than 1783/4.

Hi Abiam

There's a will for a Joseph Hamborough Tuckwell, gentleman, of Speen in Berkshire dated 1831 on the National Archives website. It might be worth a look. There are 5 Tuckwell wills for Berkshire and 8 for Oxfordshire.
Broadbent - Staffordshire (Bilston/Brewood)
Bryant - Buckinghamshire (Cuddington/Haddenham)
Craft - Buckinghamshire (Hyde Heath/Little Missenden/Chalfonts)
Norris - Berkshire (Hagbourne/Hendreds/Harwell)

Galium and Oldsplice,
Yes, by my reckoning he would have been born in 1776.  I had a look at the N. Archives - -wills - that will (excuse the pun) be something to look into if and when I find him!
Actually I don't imagine he would have had a will.  One of his son's first
children was born in the Cookham Union and maybe an earlier one as well.   I think they were pretty impoverished.

A glimmer of hope!
I have found  in the BVIndex:  PARENTS JOSEPH AND LAVINIA TUCKWELL

George Tuckwell    Chr. 1815 Cookham
George Tuckwell    Chr. 1815 East Lockinge
William  Tuckwell   Chr. 1817 Cookham
William Tuckwell    Chr. 1817 East Lockinge
James Tuckwell     Chr. 1820 Cookham
Emma Tuckwell     Chr. 1823 Cookham
Emma Tuckwell     Chr. 1823 East Lockinge
Mary Tuckwell       Chr. 1826 Cookham
Mary Tuckwell       Chr. 1826 East Lockinge
Charles Tuckwell  Chr. 1829 East Lockinge

George, William, Emma and Mary all appear to have been christened in both places!  The only exceptions are James, only in Cookham, and Charles only in East Lockinge.

Is there someone who can find Joseph christened in East Lockinge?  We know where lavinia was christened so it's likely to be him.

Or am I getting too excited?
Regards Abiam

Have just received maps of Berks and see that E. Lockinge is very near Chilton where Lavinia was christened and Farnborough where a lot of her family were born and buried which, hopefully, points to E. Lockinge.
