Patrick,
The name "Thacker" is of English decent.It is of an occupational origin. In our case, it comes from the Middle English term "thack" translated from "thatch" meaning, "to cover". Thatched roof for instance. The earliest written reference to the Thacker name is a William Thacker who is recorded in the "Hundred Rolls Of Norfolk" in 1273. He is also listed in the Writs Of Parliment" in 1301. The Coat Of Arms was granted to the Thacker name from Repton Priory in Derbyshire in 1540. If you like, I could e-mail you a copy of the Blazon Of Arms and the Family Crest. I hope this helps you at least a little.

Amber,
I would be more than happy to send you these copies. All I need is an e-mail address to send it to. If e-mails are accessable at this site, I have not been able to figure out how to extract them yet. Mine is "jotuck@fidnet.com".
Until then, here is a discription (as per Middle English 1540) of each.

BLAZON OF ARMS
"Gules on a fess or between three lozenges ermine, a trefoil slipped azure between two eagle's heads erased of the field, beaked argent and about their neck's a leash of the lash."

CREST
"A bittern setting among reeds proper."

I hope you can derive an image in your mind from these discriptions. These are not mine. I am simply copying, word for word, what I have found. I hope you enjoy it.
