I am tring to trace my family roots in Ireland. John Tuke was born 1836 in Wicklow Ireland by 1863 he was living in Whitehaven Cumberland England and married Mary Brown (Maiden name Harrison) Mary was born 1834 in Antrim Ireland and died 1894 in Yorkshire. I have been able to trace John's life as a coal miner through census records from 1871 in Scotland through to his death in 1904. John and Mary had 6 children, although the eldest child was to Mary's first marriage. John re-married in 1899 to a woman named Margaret Edgar Tweedie in Hamilton, Scotland he was about 63 at this time.
According to John's death cert his parents were John Tuke and Ann Robinet and his father's occupation is listed as coal miner.
I have seached Griffiths Valuation for John Tuke and a number have been listed but I have been uable to determine if any of these relate to my Tuke family.
Can anyone help?
