The 1871 census states her fathers place of birth as Paddington c1821 / 22.

John Adolphus is the only John I found being born in Paddington around that time.

I presume that is her in the 1911 census as a widow, with children John and Dorothy as found on find my past

States she had 4 children in total though and occupation is a laundress, living in Portsmouth and stating she was born in Portsmouth. She is living at 6 Alver Road, Kingston, Portsmouth.

I am not convinced her father is John Adolphus Tuck to be honest. No where on any confirmed records for her, has her father been recorded with that middle name.

I guess Im no closer to knowing who her parents were.
I cant say for sure i have the right cert

With only the bapt showing the middle name Adolphus...None of the other records can be said to be him.

No Siobhan,
But the only JohnTuck born c1822..Paddington...as stated in the census, is John Adolphus Tuck.

He is who believe my Emma's father is. If so...William Tuck & Mary Ann Cambridge are her grandparents......which is disputed by the lady i have spoken to.

Thats the thing!....thats the crux!.....I am sure the 1871 IS my Emma.

Can't see a a John, first two sons were Baptised William 1822 and Thomas 1825.
Their father William, Occ. Thatcher. Harston, Cambs.

John Adolphus Tuck Baptised London 1822, Father Occ. Piano Forte Maker...

(I'm in agreement with the Contact lady here!)

Chris :)

(Can't somehow see William the Thatcher, nipping to Paddington, becoming a Piano Forte Maker, then coming back to Cambs. somehow to take up Thatching again!)

Tyson Street is where the family were living in 1861. I am sure that you have got the right cert for the Emma in 1871 but is she your Emma?

CRIPES_A_MIGHTY

CRIPES_A_MIGHTY Report 19 Nov 2010 14:38

Could be Tysser Street?..or Typen Street?

To diff spelling on the birth cert.

If one of the marriage references had his middle name displayed it would help ALOT!...lol

Has also been suggested that Paul gets other Birth Cert., he is unable to do so at present.

I have the Parish Records CD of Harston/Hauxton, Cambs.
Can confirm the info. given to you of John Tuck and Elizabeth Jeffery 1858 Marriage is correct. (was in Hauxton)

Siobhan, the only fact we know for sure is that Emma's father was John - from the marriage cert. Given that her POB is often given as Portsmouth , Paul can't really be sure that she is either of the ones registered in Shoreditch in 1864.
