Edward Tuckwell

Ah well, Perhaps it was known to some, but I obviously missed a step somewhere. It helped (in my case at least) to place the younger BENJAMIN GLEGG in 1884 to 1886

Has this been looked at at more closely? It may hold a clue to the man's identity.

Deceased esate
CLEGG   Benjamin   
Broken Hill   2 Dec 1919   2 Mar 1920

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.

Thanks folks.   
I appreciate all your efforts.

The younger Benjamin story is not pleasant at all....and of no real connection except that it has actually led to me sorting out the past of Edward Tuckwell senior and Ann Lee,  and throws more light on this totally disfunctional family of which Edward Tuckwell senior was a member.

I've added the information about Benjamin Clegg junior to my file of bits and pieces that may need to be followed up. At present I'm trying to sort out just how many children Ann Lee, mother of Edward, had.

I know she had

Susannah Clegg (Susan) in Tasmania in 1844 (Tasmanian Family Links)
Benjamin Clegg in South Australia in 1846 (BDM)
Edward (Lee) Tuckwell in South Australia in 1851 (BDM)
Mary Ann Clegg c1850 (S A Marriages) ....no birth found at this stage
and possibly
Thomas Cleg in South Australia in 1858....father given as Thomas Smithers Cleg (BDM)

I have no proof that Ann Lee Clegg actually arrived in South Australia with husband Benjamin.....apart from the fact he was named on Benjamin junior's birth registration.

Benjamin senior just "deserted her than died."      


It's a tangle and a challenge.

So Mary Ann ended up marrying an Elijah Brown?

That's right, Sue.

A very good friend kindly went to SAGHS today and transcribed some relevant certificates for me.

There was not much more than in the indexes - no wonderful little notations, but several were interesting and relevant.

The 19 May 1846 birth of Benjamin Clegg (fiche 9 of 11, record 2701) listed the father Benjamin Clegg as a ploughman, and the informant as W H Clegg, a farmer residing at Reed Beds.  The birth was registered on 29 June.

The 21 October 1851 birth of Edward Tuckwell was registered on 29 October, and listed his father Edward as a brickmaker.

The 1869 Edward Tuckwell marriage (fiche ref 281/1) listed him as a bachelor, and a brickmaker, with Ann Clegg as a widow, and both marked rather than signed. 
Witnesses don't appear to have any relevance.

The 25 March 1885 birth of Thomas Henry Tuckwell (213/4) listed his father Thomas Tuckwell as a drover.  The informant was M M Tuckwell, the mother, of Noarlunga, who marked with x.  It was registered on 6 May, and entered at the Registry Office on 8 May.


My friend ran out of time and didn't get to see Edward Tuckwell senior's death certificate. He's going to do it sometime in the future for me.

I now off to try to find W H Clegg.

Edward Tuckwell senior's death certificate didn't reveal anything more that was of help.

I'm now trying to decipher Ann Lee's marriage certificate to Benjamin Clegg from 1842 in Doncaster.

That's a shame Dee...would have been helpful if his death cert had some useful info.

What about posting the snips of the 1842 cert you are having a problem with...

They're on the deciphering board, Cando.

Most unhelpfully, Benjamin Clegg's father was not given!

For anyone who is interested, there's now a thread running on the Common Room board mainly about Benjamin Clegg and Ann Lee, but also mentioning Edward Tuckwell.
