Aunty Clary BUCK [b mid 19th C]

I think Clary [was a Clarissa] and her maiden-surname was BUCK and perhaps from Renhold.  She later lived in Hitchen, Herts where her husband may have came from.

That is very vague but it is all my mother remembers!

Hi Cathy

cannot find any Clare/Clara/Clary/Clarissa Buck born in Beds, Renhold.

but found on 1881 a Clara Buck b 1874 Weston Herts (Weston being in Hitchin) , daughter to George Buck b 1834 Baldock & wife Eliza b 1837 Norton Herts. Has sister Mary 1868 & brother Arther 1877. Living in Baldock End Weston.

In 1891 Clara is a servant Parlour maid in Kensington
In 1901 she's back in Weston with widowed mother.

perhaps this may jog your mother's memory

or its totally the wrong person

cheers John

Hi.  I just came across this posting.  The Clara Buck that John referred to in one of the replies was my great-great aunt.  If this did turn out to be your Clara, I'd love to get in contact with you!

I have checked with my mother and it is the same Clara I believe - she lived over Hitchin way in a house below ground level [late 1920s] and my mother said she had a 'music machine' - a kind of drum with needles on it that had to be turned to play [I don't know what it is called]?

We had BUCKs in our family but I do not know where/how Clara was related except she probably looked after my grandad [Sam WORKER] during WW1 when he was home from the War?  There seems to be a connection with Luton too my Mum thinks?
