Ruck, John and Cornelius

[frankl]

Hi All,
I'm after a lookups in the 1841 census for two brothers and their respective families in Lambeth Surrey:

John Ruck b. about 1793 Leeds Kent, provision merchant (cheesemonger) and his children (wife deceased) Some of his children:

John, Henry, Silas Cocks.

Cornelius Ruck b. about 1796, Leeds Kent. Cornelius was also a provision merchant, in partnership with John.

Also in Lambeth Surrey, Mary Oram b.1813-15. Mary married John Ruck in 1842. I appreciate the latter is difficult, given the lack of information.

Thanks in advance, cheers Frank.

I am fascinated by John Ruck cheesemonger, provision merchant, gentleman - 3 wives, numerous children, some of whom ended up in Australia. When he died he left  a long will [very hard to read] but apparently he had 2 sisters - names indecipherable

Hi Mary,

Thanks for your reply.

John was a maternal gg grandfather of mine.

I haven't seen his will, wondered if there was one. Would be really interested to see it.

Was only aware of two wives for John:

Jemima m. ~1815 d. 1839 and

Mary(nee Oram) m. 1842  d. ~1887

and 14 children, split 8/6 between his two wives.

Having said that, I could not identify all the are beneficiaries of the estate of one of his son's, Henry, who died intestate in Melbourne Australia in 1897.

I have quite a bit of info on John and family in UK and Oz and would love to compare notes.

Cheers, Frank

the rucks are not directly connected to me
some of agnes  elizabeths descendents live near us in NSW  The other connection is through my husband's cousin who has his grandfathers family bible with all the Austens in it it. even has when mary oram died!
I would like to tell you more but I don't like to put email addy or phone number on a public notice board. also i can't work out how to attach to this message as i thought i'd send you the will Mary
PS  Silas Cock Ruck died in Melbourne 13.10.1871 brother henry registered the death Their mother was jemima way cock and when I looked for that marriage on ancestry i found john ruck was a widower - I think the first wife was elizabeth ann winder and they married 14.9.1809 at Lenham kent after banns were called in aug 1809 at st mary lambeth [his parish] i daughter 2 sons before she died
