On the 1911 census my great grandfather Michael Tucker lived in Rich Hill with his wife and children. H was a post man. They lived with Michael’s parents, his father was also called Michael. Around 1920 they moved to England and by 1938 they were in Glasgow where my father was born. My parents separated when I was 2, my dad died a few years ago and I have never met anyone from my dad’s family. Any
about them would be great

I think I identified Edmond's correct death record above. The age and profession aren't consistent.

Beyond the death record all the records I have found for Edmond identifies him as a laborer. There might have been two Edmond Tucker living in Murroe. Ellen's death record is probably incorrect since it identifies her as a postman widow. Below is Michael's brother John death record. Father was Edmond a laborer. Death in Murroe.

If Edmond became a postman, then he is the father of James Tucker, laborer, who married Margaret Dundon in 1910 in Murroe

Irishgenealogy records show James and Margaret had a daughter in 1913- Ellie/ Nellie/ Ellen. She witnessed Margaret's death in 1943 and James' in 1944. Maybe-She married Martin Holmes, a farmer, in 1946.
