Lou posted earlier today on another board "Please can you help me by telling me anything about William Tuck the father of Jabez Tuck[cambridgeshire] Many thanks"

My reply in part was (before I'd found this thread which covered much of the ground and more than I'd covered:

"Jabez was born c1815 in Cambridge according to censuses. His 1866 marriage to Anne Eldridge names his father as William deceased. Was she actually Mary Ann and was the mother of all his children?

The Baptism Index at

cfhs.org.uk/Search.html
throws up nothing. However a tree on Ancestry gives a birth date of 14 Aug 1814, but it doesn't say where or give a source. The same tree shows parents as being William Tuck and Sarah Hutt, but again no detail is given. They actually married at Cambridge All Saints on 12 Oct 1813, William being of the parish of Cambridge St Mary the Less.

One of the other boards to which you contributed says that Jabez was a Strict Baptist, at least for some of his life. Possibly that's why he wasn't baptised if his parents were also non-conformist.

I would contact the owner of the ancestry tree to see where the birth date came from"
