Tuckerfamily Report 25 Jul 2016 17:39

Looking for any descendants of William Henry Tucker and Mabel Tucker nee Duddridge.
William was a private in the somerset light infantry.

William was born in Bath 1895 and my Great Uncle, he was the brother of my Grandfather Albert Edward Tucker born 1900 in Bath.
Their parents were Henry and Adelaide Tucker nee Cottle.

William married Mabel Duddridge in Taunton and they had (I believe) at least 5 children
1.Florence Tucker also possibly William,Betty,Kenneth,Patricia and Albert

Would love to hear from any descendants

It's unlikely any family will see this

Your best bet is to look in members trees ,which is under the search heading a very the boards .to see if anyone has them in their tree

You can then try to make contact the find out more box

Have you checked whether the messages have been read? If they have the 'envelope' next to the 'sent message' will have disappeared.

It's a common thing I,m afraid . Folks may no longer be members but their tree is still on genes . They may not be looking at family trees anymore .they may sadly have passed away .they may have changed the email address they signed on when joining genes

Lots of reasons why someone may not answer .or even receive an enquiry

Thank You Shirley for that info.

I wonder why the other children are closed records?

I'm Pretty sure you found the right family Galmington Road is where William was living (at a different number) when he died in 1961.

The records are closed for anyone born after 1915 who hadn't died before 1991 ( the NHS used the register up to that date). FMP are currently matching death records to the register to open more records.

Likely marriage for Betty J can be found on freebmd, Taunton.

also probable for Florence so you might be able to work forward from there.

Hi Shirley Thanks for all that info. Yes I know that William married as Henry I do have the cert for proof that I had found the right person .

Not sure about the siblings marrying the Tuckers you mention are not in my tree.
Not sure about the Duddridges maybe connected to Mabel don't know.

You are right about William Henry Tucker death 1961(I have the cert)
Sad to see that Kenneth passed away and so young.

Thanks again
Ann
