Just joined the list and have noticed most of the TUCKER entries seem to be from America and it might sound bumb but as my TUCKER's seem to originated from Worcestershire in England I wanted to ask is the name from UK or USA ? my research [ such as it is]starts with a marriage 26/10/1766 at St Mary's Church, Oldswinford,Worcs, England between Samuel TUCKER spade molder ofa & otp Elizabeth SHELDON also ofa & of that parish they went on to have several children christened in Oldswinford but non give an indication whether or nor born there too, there is also in later years TUCKER's christened, amrried & buried in the following places all Worcs & Staffs Oldswinford, Netherton, Dudlely, Princes End. Bumblehole, Brierly Hill,Cradley,Whittington, Coseley,Stourbridge,Kingswinford, Rowley Regis & Tipton Although I've managed to find TUCKER's in all these area's never been able to find the birth place of Samuel Tucker approx 1740-1755 or his parents or his place of death. So it's possible he does not originate from Worcestershire at all and just moved there for the work,suggestions as to a possible birth place for him and any details of TUCKER's pre 1780 would be most welcome as I'm at a loss as to where to begin looking I did hope t ofind a settlement document for him or other family members in Oldswinford but have not found one there . Many thanks in advance for reading my e-mail and for any help or information you may be able to give me Denise Sargeant [nee TUCKER]
