Ross Baker, of 19 Kieman Rd Town: Highfields, Australia 4352, writes:

I am researching my family tree and would like to find information about my great grandfather, Frederick Tucker, born in Blackawton 1861.

He served a short time in the British navy in 1881. His father was William Tucker, born Blackawton, 1815, and his mother was Elizabeth Luckraft, born Stoke Fleming, 1818.

He married in Queensland, Australia, in 1886, so left Devon between 1881 and 1886.

Any information about his family would be appreciated. I can be emailed at baker.ross@ bigpond.com.
