The
parish registers of Births , Marriages and Deaths for the
Church of St Giles,Sheldon all start in 1558. |
| 1560 |
On
February 10th 1560 a JOHN TUCKLEY married
an Anne [no surname recorded] in St Giles.
This is the earliest reference so far found to the
modern spelling of the name with the use of the letter "C"
and without the first letter "E". |
|
1582 |
The
earliest Tuckley Will found is dated 1582 for a John Tuckley
from Lindon in the neighbouring parish of Bicknell. [The modern
day Bickenhill near Birmingham airport]. This may be the will
of John Tuckley married in 1560. |
| 1604 |
The
first recorded Tuckley burial in the St Giles parish registers is Anne Tuckley
[widow] of Lyndon [near Bickenhill]. She may be the widow
of John who died in 1582. For services such as burial a payment
was due to the church and not all people could afford to pay.
A record in 1631 refers to ten shillings was the charge for
burial. |
1642
to
1651 |
The
Civil War commenced in 1642 with King Charles 1
raising his standard at Nottingham. The Battle of Edgehill,
Warwickshire was fought on 23rd October 1642. Cromwell and
the Parliamentarians appear to have been in control, from
1642, of the area of Warwickshire which includes Sheldon and
Yardley.
Tuckley Births ,
Marriages and Deaths continued to be recorded throughout this
period. |
| 1654 |
A
Humphrey Tuckley was christened 22nd April 1654 to John Tuckley
of Yardley. No record of his marriage or his death in Yardley
or Sheldon or in the surrounding area.
Consequently he
may therefore be the Humphrey Tuckley who started my side
of the family on the north side of Birmingham in 1688 at Himley
near Wolverhampton. |
| 1661 |
The Christian names Benjamin
and Nathaniel [of Bickenhill], appeared for the first time in
1661. |
|
1662 |
There
was a covenant to levy a fine by John Tuckley and his wife
Anne., dated 4th April 1662. |
