Hi and welcome.

I love the name Jabez Tuck, so I couldn't resist a quick look for him in the census. So far, I see him with a wife Mary in the 1851 to 1871 census and it looks like he died in 1884. Why do you think he may have married twice

[corpios]

hi thankyou for replying and looking for me its very good of you i think he wed twice as i have found out that in 1866 he wed an lady called anne ELDRIDGE but he had many children by this time and as you have seen in the cencus 1851 to 1861 his wife is called Mary so im a bit confused

The Jabez Tuck that married Anne Eldrige was a bachelor, he was of full age (meaning over 21) and he was a Printer.
His father was William Tuck deceased.

He may not have been the same Jabez Tuck that was married to Mary there are more than one of them.
I'll have a look for further......

Maybe you can line this fellow up in the census as the husband of Annie or Mary?
