I am trying to find more information on my great grandparents who are from the Torbay area. Ignatius Tucker was born around 1860 or 1863 and Ellen Brennan around 1866. They had a farm on Torbay Road in the late 1800's before finally moving into St. John's in the early 1900's. The Tucker's in particular I cannot find much. Ignatius was orphaned as a child and placed with a "Granny" Walsh in the area who took in orphaned children. The parents of Ignatius (according to his marriage record) were something similar to Manuel and Patiene Tucker of Torbay. I have found a Manville and Patience Tucker from Portugal Cove but cannot find a birth or baptism record for Ignatius.

Hello Deanne,
I believe this may be the birth/bapt. record for Ignatius Tucker. It is from the Catholic Holy Rosary Church in Portugal Cove. I read the entry as follows ..."Dec 2 ? 1861 Bapt Ignatius Tucker of Mandrove Tucker and Patient King."
The penmanship is not the best. I can't decipher the sponsers' names. Here is the link to that document and the entry is at the top of the left hand page.

Now this church has records transcribed on Newfoundland Genealogy sites and they record the name as Augustine or put a question mark. It looks like Ignatius to me. What do you think?

Thank you so much Linda! I also see Ignatius there as well and not the Augustine I had previously found. I believe the witnesses listed are William Hynes and Susanna Tucker. I have come across the Hynes family name and Susanna Tucker on the other children of Mandville/Mandrove and Patience. I am very excited! I may actually be getting somewhere. The Tucker side is the only true mystery of our family genealogy.

Thanks again Linda!!
