Dear Brian,
Thank you very much for your response on the forum. I thought I'd
post for you what information I know about my Tackaberry family. (I tried to send an email but it did not go through).
I actually have discovered some more detailed family records, and the
Richard you mentioned is indeed my great-great-grandfather, and
Margaret Jean Tackaberry (Jenny)'s father. Richard, born in 1845,
married Mary Jane, nee Bradley. Jenny was born in 1878.
I actually have the very picture you mentioned--the one of Jenny's
wedding! Wow, that's amazing that it is also in your grandfather's
book. I believe I once had a copy of Mr. Warder's book. My grandmother
was Thelma Carter Ellis, Jenny's daughter. (She recently died and is
now buried in the Lions Head cemetery.) I found the book in her box
of pictures and mementos a few years ago, but it has since been lost.
I would love to get another copy, do you know where I might find one?
Perhaps in the Lions Head library?
According to my records, Nathaniel and his wife Margaret, nee Fernel,
were born in Dublin, Ireland in 1813 and 1821, respectively. As their
son, Richard, was born in 1845, the couple must have emigrated from
Ireland to Lions Head after marrying. (The records inform me that they
wed in Dublin.) I am not sure why Nathaniel's name does not appear in
the assessment from 1872, but he did die in 1874 in Lions Head, so I
assume he remained there all of his life.
Nathaniel Tackaberry's grandparents came to England in William of
Orange's army when he married Mary of England. They were granted a
plot of land in Ireland and that it where they lived from then on.
Lions Head is your hometown? We actually have a cottage there on
Whipporwill and my family has been coming to Lions Head for 50 years.
Many of our cousins/close relatives have cottages on Carter Lane, as,
of course, my grandfather Chet Carter (who married Jenny) owned that
stretch of the bay originally. I consider Lions Head a true second
home as we are so deeply rooted there. It truly is a beautiful place,
and I am proud that my ancestors are a part of its history.
I hope you found this helpful/ interesting! Thank you again for your response.
Sincerely,
Hilary Ellis
