I wonder what became of them?

[they were, as far as I know, entirely unconnected with A.H. Thacker of Cheslyn Hay staffs, but someone may know different].
A. H. Thacker was always known - at least locally - as just 'Thackers'. As you say, I'm sure there's no connection, just a coincidence of the first two initials.
