Edward Tuckwell

[deeiluka]

Another kind Rootschatter reminded me of a BISA entry. I'd forgotten it as when I checked BISA it didn't seem to be connected with my Tuckwell family.

TUCKWELL Edward
Occupation = brickmaker
Married 20th December 1869 at Willunga SA to Mrs  Ann CLIFF

Remembering that BISA entries are not always accurate, and substituting CLEGG for CLIFF, which it obviously was, it seems to me that Edward TUCKWELL, brickmaker, was Edward Tuckwell, brickmaker of Uxbridge who was transported to Tasmania for stealing hens!     

Now....if only I could find out what happened to Benjamin Clegg!

I can't find anything in the way of deaths for the husband Benjamin CLEGG but his name may have been mistranscribed on the indexes.

However he would possibly [hopefully] been deceased by 20 Dec 1869 when his wife married Edward TUCKWELL.

This could be the son Benjamin CLEGG who died in NSW in 1919 and is buried in the Broken Hill Cemetery.  He was aged 71 years so born c1848.  There are no parents named on his death reg.

I wondered about that being the son Benjamin on the NSW Indexes, Cando. I've saved the reference in my bits and pieces file.

On Ancestry Aus death index there is only one Benjamin CLEGG death reg in Aus.  I only use it as a 'guide'   The age at death is quite close the age that Benjamin b. SA   Perhaps he ventured to Broken Hill to the mines.

Knowing what I know about this family, I wonder if Benjamin Clegg senior even came to South Australia from Tasmania.   

If he did, I don't think he stayed around too long.....the lure of gold maybe?  I've ordered the English marriage certificate, but that's not going to help me sort them out here.

So Mary Ann ended up marrying an Elijah Brown?

[sue21757]

There is a marriage notice for Mary Ann Tuckwell and Elijah Brown 1873,
It states she is the relic of the late Edward Tuckwell of Maclaren Vale.
There is a death in 1870 of Edward Tuckwell in Maclaren Vale B 1805.

Sue all of this is known and it is from this and other articles about the same court case that the information about Mary Ann BROWN, formerly TUCKWELL and CLEGG nee LEE was confirmed.  This case occurred 14 years after Edward's death at aged 65 years in 1870 at McLaren Vale.
