ArgyllGran,
I have both marriage certs. I enquired at the Kew offices many years ago about this and the explanation I got was that the first marriage was not given the permission of his commanding officer so they had to go through with a second one.
I have never been able to confirm or deny this.

Ancestry suggests this might be him in 1939:
George H Tucker in the 1939 England and Wales Register Name: George H Tucker Gender: Male Marital Status: Married Birth Date: 21 Jun 1880 Residence Year: 1939 Address: 4 Manor Rd Residence Place: Hayes and Harlington, Middlesex, England Occupation: Bootmaker Heavyworker Line Number: 9 Schedule Number: 199 Sub Schedule Number: 7 Enumeration District: BJCA Borough: Hayes and Harlington Registration district: 127/2 Household Members Age Florence Rudge 50 Arthur T Rudge 24 [ Arthur J on image ] [4 closed records ] George H Tucker 59
The DOB of the man in 1939 above would fit the birth reg of the George in the censuses:

Unfortunately there are lots of deaths for men named George H Tucker, of the right YOB.

The 1939 man in 1938 - witih the Rudges: Can't say if this is definitely your grandfather or not, of course.
George Henry Tucker in the London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965 Name: George Henry Tucker Electoral Date: 1938 Street Address: 4 Manor Road Ward or Division/Constituency: Hayes County or Borough: Uxbridge, England Reference Number: MR/PER/C/0661
Nobody else of voting age named Tucker at that address - ie - no wife, although he's listed as married in 1939 Register.
He's still at that address in 1945 - with the Rudges, and peter & Ivy Bade:
:George H Tucker in the London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965 Name: George H Tucker Electoral Date: 1945 Street Address: 4 Manor Road Ward or Division/Constituency: Hayes County or Borough: Finchley, England
And still there in 1949.
and in 1951, with the Rudges, Bades, and Charles Blower.
George H Tucker in the London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965 Name: George H Tucker Electoral Date: 1951 Street Address: 4 Ward or Division/Constituency: Hayes and Harlington North County or Borough: Hayes and Harlington, England
And 1959:
George H Tucker in the London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965 Name: George H Tucker Electoral Date: 1959 Street Address: 4 Manor Road Ward or Division/Constituency: Hayes and Harlington South County or Borough: Hayes and Harlington, England Reference Number: MR/PER/C/1026
And 1963, with Rudges:
George H Tucker in the London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965 Name: George H Tucker Electoral Date: 1963 Street Address: 4 Hesa Road [Manor Road on image ] Ward or Division/Constituency: Hayes and Harlington South County or Borough: Hayes and Harlington, England Reference Number: MR/PER/C/1126

ArgyllGran, Wow thank you. It seems to fit that this is my grandad, eg, age, occupation etc.BUT, That has thrown up a curve ball.
As a child I lived next door to my nan and her partner who I called 'Uncle Harry' .(You didnt ask questions when you were little lol.) In 1953 she married the said Harry so I presumed her husband (George Tucker) had died although how she would have found out I do not know. :-S
|
Well, if that's the right George at 4 Manor Road, he was still alive in 1963, if not later.
Perhaps Alice divorced him? Or had him decared dead if she hadn't had any sign of him for years?
Or else that's not him at 4 Manor Road.
Do you have the 1953 marriage cert to see what her marital status was?
|
ArgllGran, Yes I have the marriage cert and she is classed as a widow.
|
BIG THANK YOU to nameslessone and ArgyllGran for all your help. xx
Edited lol
