The Pluck family lived in Delgany and also in the town of Bray itself. If you go to the 1901 census and the 1911 census you will find many Plucks there. William Pluck was the pub owner in Delgany in 1901 and 1911. There seems to have been ahuge Pluck family with quite a few unmarried women who carried on working the farm. There is a Jane Pluck who married Denis White (whom I believe to be related to one of my ancestors).
15 April 1890 Parish of Bray. Jane Pluck's address given as Main Street and Denis White's Kilmacanogue (where there are many Plucks and Whites). Jane's father is William Pluck and her mother Ann Coleman. His parents are Patrick White and Ann Byrne. The witnesses were Thomas Doyle and Catherine Pluck.
I also have a marriage for 28 August 1854 Bray Parish for John White and Mary Doyle and the witnesses are Dan Darcy and Ann Darcy.
I suspect the bride and groom came from Kilmurray - or Delgany area.
In 1901 and 1911 the Plucks on the farm are looking after Annie and (I forget the boy's name) White on the farm. These are the children of Jane Pluck and Denis White.
