Find Ancestors

Just a final word, a massive thank you to all who have commented :-D

Definitely fits, I know that Bellamy was the mothers maiden name, remarried and became brockwell and have been in touch with that side of the family, but it's my grandfathers real dad I'm having trouble searching for. My grandfather was born in August 1916 in London (as above) Didn't know about the William James so thank you for that, will research further and thank you or all your help, much appreciated :-)

You need Mabel's 1914 marriage cert for details of William J, as previously said.

Age, occupation, father's name (if known) - will all be on that.

Thank you all for your responses, Brockwell is known to us and I'd previously been in contact with that side but it's the Tuckers I am struggling to locate. Not much is known to be honest and I've no idea why they separated or if he passed away. Thank you all for your support Kaz x

I don't see any likely death on CWGC website.

A long shot - though considerable age difference:

Deaths Dec 1916 (>99%)
Tucker William J 41 Islington 1b 354

Do you know why his Mother remarried - divorce (not often in that era), WW1 death, non military death? Might help find some records

Was her husband about the same age as her do you know or a difference in ages

His birth certificate would confirm parents names and then their marriage certificate would give ages, occupations and Name & occupation of Father's

Herbert Henry Tucker Son - Male 5 1906 - Fulham London
Charles Frederick Tucker Son - Male 2 1909 - Islington London

If Mabel is your gr-grandmother, you need her 1914 marriage cert to find our William J's occupation and father's name (if known)


As Mabel was born and married (twice) in Islington, and continued to live there, it seems probable that her son, born in Islington, is your grandfather.
