Hello, I'm new to the list so please be patient with me! My g-g-grandfather John Wilkins TUCKER was born in Swansea, UK in 1851, and married and had family there, from which I'm descended. He was a merchant seaman, and arrived in Cape Town on the Antonio Vinent on May 11 1880, from where he is recorded as having deserted. Amongst many other possibilities, he may have remarried and had family in S.Africa. If anyone has any information as to what may have happened to him, it would be most gratefully received. Regards Nick Tucker Stone, Staffordshire, UK
