Hannah C Ruck c1868 - Birth (General)

by beav2012, Adelaide, South Australia, (14 hours, 54 minutes ago)

I'm looking for the parents of Hannah C Ruck c1868 West Dean

She appears in the 1881/1891 census records as the daughter of Harriet (nee Fletcher) and James Ruck.

My problem is I cannot find her birth or any records after 1891.

I don't believe she is Harriets daughter as she doesn't appear in the 1871 census. Also, Harriet was married to George Worgan at this time and he died in 1875.

I do not know if James was married before as I cannot find him in the 1871 census records, and I can only see the civil registration for his marriage to Harriet

Many thanks

Yeap a bit of a conundrum

Hannah C is not shown as step daughter to head of household in the 81/91 census data

or with "father" James in 1871

1871 Pillowell
James Ruck Head - Male 35 1836 Coal miner West Dean, Gloucestershire, England
Frances Ruck Wife - Female 27 1844 - West Dean, Gloucestershire, England
Mary Ann Ruck Daughter - Female 6 1865 Scholar West Dean, Gloucestershire, England
George Ruck Son - Male 3 1868 - West Dean, Gloucestershire, England
Thomas Jim Ruck Son - Male 0 1871 - West Dean, Gloucestershire, England


Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Year Register Entry
RUCK James JONES Frances 1864 2 61

an avenue that might require further investigation is

Births Mar 1868 (>99%)
James Hannah Cecilia Chepstow 11a 17

who is missing in 1881/91 censuses - but how a Wharf workers daughter from Lydney morphs into Hannah C Ruck is beyond me at the momnet
