Dear Martin.
Its been a while! But since time has passed I have done more research. You are definately relation.
I have a photo of Jefferson Tacey that was with a bunch of other Tacey family photos. I could never place him in the picture as I couldnt' find any birth records of him here. My Grand Uncle always said that George William Tacey came over from Hull England with either a brother or a son. Being in contact with another distant reative helped shed light on who he was. She told me that from her notes of an elderly relative that George first married in England to a Jane Jefferson. She died and is buried there. That they had a son Jefferson. It was said that it was this Jefferson who came with George to the US. From what you are saying also Jeffersons wife. Since all this info.. I have found that Jefferson was a member of the masonic order (knights templer) in Alexandria Va. I have found him on rosters. Hence the pic of him I have in this uniform. Actually looks like a painting but not sure! I have seen this name of Maude as well.. they resided in Alexandria Virginia. I don't know any more than that. I will have to keep digging.
Great to converse with a distant relative from England!
I had the opportunity to travel there back in 2002. I rented a car and drove the entire cost from Hull up to Scottland it was so beautiful.. especially Northumberland costal areas/Yorkhire..area.. I do wish to return one day and really spend some time discovering this area and my roots.
If you wish contact me:
