 :) hi everyone,
is anyone out there looking into the thacker family?

im trying to find info on my great grandfather robert in moulton, 1874.

i have him in 1901  but not 1891. he then reappears with his future wife in 1901 and then they are married in 1911.

he died in 1917 and she died in 1915, the story in the family is that he pushed her down the stairs but was put on death certificate that she fell.
she was married before and bertie smith was her son, robert and her had a son out of wedlock another robert im also anxious to find info on him , its said he went to australia!!!!

think this is his birth:

Robert George Thacker mar Q 1875 blofield 4b / 200      right for Moulton

also you don't give her name but assume as son is Smith this is their marriage:

Robert george Thacker = Clara Smith    mar Q 1911 Mutford 4a / 1383

is it 1891 you don't have?

would only be in local paper if there was a suspicion of accident ie police involved or an inquest.

as noted from PM marriage is to frances. here they are:

Robert Thacker = Frances Elizabeth Smith  dec Q 1902 yarmouth 4b / 78

do you have his parents names as with Gparents on 1881?  would be useful to get birth cert.
