Walter Tucker
« on: Monday 04 January 16 19:13 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I'm looking for information on a Walter Tucker I do believe he was born in Whitchuch Dorset in 1840, he married Martha Davis Walbridge in Axminster Devon in 1861, the problem Ive got is I cant seem to find any information on him from 1840 to 1861, so any information would be appreciated.

Hi Brian,

Have you obtained his marriage certificate please? This would give you his father's name which may help.
Places of interest;
Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Southern Ireland, Scotland.

Hi,
  Thank you for your reply, at this moment in time I have not looked into purchasing his Marriage certificate, was thinking of trying to get hold of his Birth one.

Welcome to Rootschat.

Could it be this one?

1841 HO107; Piece: 282; Book: 10
Whitchurch Canonicorum

All born Dorset

R G Tucker     35    Farmer
Sarah Tucker   35
Solina Tucker   13
Jane Tucker   8
Alfia Tucker   7
Walter Tucker   6
Eliza Tucker   2
George Tucker   10 Mo

As Pennines said you are better getting the marriage certificate, as that will tell you his father's name. If it does turn out to be the one on the census he was born too early for a birth certificate.

Baptism of that one

Walter Tucker
Baptism Date:   30 Jun 1837
Whitechurch Canonicorum, Dorset,
Father:   Robert George Tucker
Mother:   Sarah Tucker

Two more children, Rhoda and Jane, were baptised the same day. As they aren't on the 1841, they may have died, which would explain the gap between Walter and the next child.

Slight problem there, as the father of the one I found was Robert George. So either the second name was wrong on the marriage or the 1841 one is wrong!

I would think its the same family, some mistake over names.Same family appears to be in Axminster in 1851.
