This is possibly the other Thomas Tuck registered in Cricklade 1853/1854 in 1861

1861 England Census
about Thomas Tuck
Name: Thomas Tuck
Age: 8
Estimated birth year: abt 1853
Relation: Son
Mother's Name: Elizabeth
Gender: Male
Where born: W Bassett, Wiltshire, England

Civil parish: Wootton Bassett
Town: Wootton Bassett
County/Island: Wiltshire
Country: England

Registration district: Cricklade
Sub-registration district: Wootton Bassett

Elizabeth Tuck 30 ....widow....dressmaker....born Wootton Basset
Thomas Tuck 8


Interestingly, the household on either side of this has a bootmaker living in it, so perhaps Thomas could have got his 'foot in the door' (pardon the pun) to the trade from there. Or perhaps his deceased father was also a bootmaker.

There is this death registered in the Highworth registration district - same district as the 1861 census posted by Catherine - for a Thomas Tuck, so possibly the child of Isaac and Jane died??

England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index: 1837-1915
about Thomas Tuck
Name: Thomas Tuck
Estimated birth year: abt 1854
Year of Registration: 1869
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
Age at Death: 15
District: Highworth
County: Wiltshire
Volume: 5a
Page: 10



There is also a tree on Ancestry that gives a Thomas Tuck, marrying a Margaret A ? and living in Bedwellty - mother Elizabeth Maskelyne but no father given.


This is possibly the marriage for this lady to another Thomas Tuck

Marriages Jun 1850 (>99%)

*******Maskelyne Elizabeth Cricklade &c 8 587
Mundee Robert Cricklade 8 587
******Tuck Thomas Cricklade &c 8 587
YORKE Sarah Cricklade 8 587



Either one of these 1861's could be a possible so I really think the marriage certificate is necessary to be 100% sure.

These two were in the same registration district - Cricklade covers Swindon/Wootton Bassett, so the earlier IGI entry found by Catherine may well be linked into the family somehow.

Births Mar 1854
Tuck Thomas Cricklade 5a 24

possible as in one of the census records birth place is given as Swindon.............but as Ninjalady says you will need the marriage cert. to confirm!

2 possible births for father Thomas:-

Births Sep 1853 (>99%)
TUCK Thomas Chippenham 5a 59

Births Mar 1854 (>99%)
Tuck Thomas Cricklade 5a 24

You're right Andrew - there were two Thomas Tucks registered a year apart in the same registration district.

Your best bet would probably be to get the marriage certificate for Thomas Tuck (the shoemaker) to get his father's name

******Thomas Tuck 18 ....bootmaker
Elizabeth Lewis 23
Izatt Pearce 65
John Thomas 55


I would still say the original looks more like Swindon.

He was an apprentice to Elias Ford Hutchings who was a Boot Manufacturer.

when looked him up there was two entries for that name,but was the same family very miss leading.

Possible for 1881??

thats the family,TUCK, Thomas Alfred 'father was also called thomas & thats when all the information goth lost.
thanks

Are you sure he was born in Wiltshire:-

Births Dec 1875 (>99%)
Tuck Thomas Alfred Bedwelty 11a 99

Marriages Sep 1894 (>99%)
Coles Edwin Bedwelty 11a 125
Lewis Elizabeth Rachel Bedwelty 11a 125
Stephens Elizabeth Ann Bedwelty 11a 125
Tuck Thomas Alfred Bedwelty 11a 125

the cert. will give you his father's name and occupation which will help find him in other census records.

i reserched a few years ago,then lost all my findings,i sure i read that he was from that area.

If this is the correct family in 1911 - then he gives place of birth as Tredegar
