Bucke Family in and around Monk Soham

[AmyB]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a little help regarding the paternal line of my family tree please. Through records and Suffolk FHS I've found my 4th Great Grandfather:

Benjamin Bucke - born 25/07/1786, Monk Soham
                        - Married 02/08/1807, Stowmarket to Mary Ann Ward
                        - died 09/06/1862, Cretingham

Suffolk FHS birth records for Loes and Orford list his baptism on 04/02/1787 in Kenton, Suffolk. He's listed as baseborn with no Father and his Mother listed as Sarah Bucke. I've found that Sarah also had 2 other children; Rachel Bucke (1770) and Samuel Bucke (1772).

I'm now at a dead end and can't seem to find anything of Benjamin's Father, or any information on Sarah Bucke, is anyone able to shed any light and help please?

I note the record for Rachel & Samuel on Ancestry, there is also this below.

Joseph Buck
Baptism Date:   9 Aug 1775
Baptism Place:   Monk Soham, Suffolk
Mother:   Sarah Buck

Also this, I wonder if this Rachel is related to Sarah?

Sarah Buck
Baptism Date:   5 Oct 1777
Baptism Place:   Monk Soham, Suffolk
Mother:   Rachel Buck

I guess this is Benjamin, about one mile away from Monk Soham. Given the eleven year gap from 1775 to 1786, I wonder if it is the same Sarah?

Benjamin Bucke
Birth Date:   25 Jul 1786
Baptism Date:   4 Feb 1787
Baptism Place:   Kenton, Suffolk
Mother:   Sarah Bucke

Thanks for your reply Colin, its much appreciated.

Yes, that Benjamin is the one from my tree, on SFHS records it says that he was baptised in Kenton, but their abode was in Monk Soham. It does seem a rather large age gap with his other siblings, I hadn't thought that it could be a different Sarah, but what are the chances that it would be? There are only 3 Bucke's baptised in the Hoxne deanery and all 3 have Sarah Bucke listed as their mother.

Its very interesting about Rachel, and its likely she could be related to Sarah, something to try and unpick!

Please could the Amy B who sent me, Terry Baker, a message about Bucke a few days ago contact me  I typed a reply but it disappeared into the ether when I tried to send it via this very user unfriendly website.
Thanks,
Terry

Could you remove your email address and use the private message system to communicate.  Emails are not allowed on here to avoid spamming

I tried to reply using the private message system but it did not work. First of all the website did not allow me to enter the name of the person who sent me the message; there was a choice of 3 Amy Bs. Then there was no obvious way of replying to the message. There was a 'send message' button but it was not clear what this this referred to as I had not typed out a message at this stage. Assuming that it referred to a new unwritten message I typed out a message and tried to send it, but then I receieved an error message and my laboriously typed message vanished into the ether.
Thus the reason for using my e-mail message.
I have removed my e-mail address

I found a Sarah Buck buried in 1820 in Crowfield, Suffolk aged 83 so born c1747. Crowfield is a few miles south west of Monk Soham and Kenton. And a Sarah Buck wed William Chittick in 1796 also in Crowfield.

Trying to find any info on the possible father of Benjamin Bucke born 1786 may prove difficult. You may find a bastardy bond but I just looked on Suffolk Archives and cannot find any info yet. I typed Bucke and Buck for Kenton and Monk Soham and no info found.
