Mel

Thank you for the link to the 1868 map and infor re roundings - they always make it more confusing, but I think that what has been posted gives me most of the facts (except the reason for the musical carpenter/joiner bit!)

Thanks for your help

Jannie I forgot to say they rounded the ages down on the 1841 census so you can't really go by the ages on that one. I have three children all of 5 years old in one census for 1841 and they are all about 18 months to two years apart on the actual births.

This is a map of London which you may find useful as it is an old one online and free.

4 squares down and second from the end is Stepney and there is a North St on that.

I need to go shopping - but the Tucker's have my attention

Here are the deaths of Amy, Flora and Edith - sad

And this from A-Z Old to New Streets (North Street became Lindley Street at some point)

North street, Aston street Elsa street Stepney 1912
North street, Back Church lane Fairclough street Stepney 1912
>>>>>>>>North street, Sidney street Lindley street Stepney 1912
North street, Whitechapel road Brady street Stepney

Now I am so confused by this lot, and I thought they were sorted.

On the 1841 there is only 5 years between George and Elizabeth, with a son born in 1826 plus Eliza (twin) Alfred, John, Sarah and Edwin. On teh 1851 you posted George, John and Sarah are there - maybe Eliza, Alfred and Edwin were married or dead!

Then 1861 at North Street - George (son) and Emma with a baby Amy but by 1871 George with Emma, no Amy and Son George (1868), still at North Street but then in 1871 still George, Emma and George at 34 Lindley Street.

I am beginning to think that there were a lot of births and almost as many child deaths - and George 1821/1823 was from time to time a musician. I can't see any other records for another family that ties in as closely................

I have to go out now but will look in when I get back. Have to go shopping for the first time since before Christmas. :-( :-( :-(

I suppose if you are a musician and a joiner you should always be able to find some kind of work!! The only thing I can say is that the address was the same on most or all of the baptisms so it must have been the same couple.

Mmmm, interesting as I have George (1826, so likely 1823) in 1841 aged 15, as a carpenter - with parents George and Elizabeth, which ties to the 1851 (except he is a musician!) and 1861 he is back to being a Ship Joiner, then 1871 a Musician (again), 1881 a Gas Fitter. All very intriguing - I suppose it depends exactly what sort of musician.

EDIT: Just seen your last post - looks like more than one family now but a lot of the details agree

Jannie I am not sure that this tree on Ancestry is right.

There is a baptism of a Flora Elizabeth Tucker with parents George and Emma but the father occupation is again Ship Joiner. Flora is supposed to be a sister to George John.

These are the children this person has as connected to George Tucker and Emma.

That 1851 census I put up had George as a Musician when he was'nt married with mother Elizabeth.

MelFG - thank you - that is very interesting - especially the 'Professor of Music' bit.

EDIT:

I was just checking my files and wondering why I didn't have anything for the 1851 - and no matter how I try I cannot seem to find them on FMP, so really appreciate the 1851 posting.

Reggie and MelFG, thank you that is the detail I was hoping for for George and Harriet

Thank you Reggie, that is helpful, it eliminates that George Tucker/Lambeth, so will probably need to get the Shoreditch Cert to be sure
