Thomas Tucker Page (born overseas in Bermuda)

[Ellie7]

Though slavery was abolished here in 1834, it is
said that sixty-one per cent. of the inhabitants are more or
less of African descent.

If He was a son of a British soldier then there is a part of Kew that has records.

Have you managed to find out anything more on the Tucker/Page line in Bermuda?

 

[chiddicks]

I would be interested to know exactly what searches they carried out in Bermuda for you

It is odd. I also think that Thomas' son Charles lies about him on his marriage certificate. On Charles' marriage certificate to Ellen, he lists 'Charles Thomas Page' (his own name) as his father, but I find no other record of this to back it up, and I am certain this Thomas is his dad. Odd family!

So you are fairly certain that the marriage recording in 1882 for Thomas and Mary, is this Thomas?

 

[Mrs DeeCee]

Thank you so much. Do you reckon it would be worth ordering this marriage certificate?

I have the original marriage certificate. Ellen and (Charles) Thof as Page were my grandparents

Thank you so much everyone for your help and info. Is there a possibility with Thomas that he could be a slave descendant? I know he is listed as being born in Bermuda as a British subject, so maybe not. The reason I wonder is a lot of my grandmother's, and great grandmother's, generation are fairly dark skinned, and when my mum asked about this when she was younger; no one in the family would answer questions. We think this came from the male line (my grandmother's dad - Charles Thomas Page), and now seeing Thomas is born in Bermuda, just wondering.

I am Charles Thomas and Ellen’s granddaughter. Are you Auntie Patty’s grandchild?
