My Great Grandmother was Laura Ruck, Daughter of Amos Ruck who was the son of Edward Ruck
Amos and his family left Orcop in Herefordshire in the 1880's and moved to Monmouth where Laura met and married William Evans
I am trying to contact anyone who is also researching the Rucks
-
There are still Ruck's in and around Monmouth
-
Thanks for the posting, I did assume that there would be Ruck's still there
Still waiting for any Ruck researchers to make contact
-

Jemima Jones is right, I have that her parents were James and Mary Jones nee Berington. Their parents Thomas Jones and Sarah Goode, with James Berington and Mary Powel.
I am decended from Amos Ruck, and I have that his siblings were James, Edwin, Mary Ann and George.
As it happens Amos and his brother James married the Williams sisters Elizabeth and Laura respectively

Hello! Iam new to this website.
Iam a ruck! My family originate from the hendre monmouth.
My 2x Great Grandmother was Laura Ruck from Orcop so it is higly likely that other members of the Ruck family travelled a bit further south into Monmouth. I have not done a great deal of research sideways from Lauras father Amos’s generation.

I too am a Ruck and my family hail from the Hendre in Monmouth. I'm very new to all of this genealogy business but find it incredibly interesting and addictive. I have traced my roots (mainly thanks to all of those who have done the hard work previously)through to Amos Ruck and then back to William (1718). I am trying to work a little sideways and explore further branches of the family and a name that keeps cropping up is Enoch Ruck who seems to have been born at a similar tome to Amos and I was wondering what the link (if any) there is between them. I note that Enoch was the father of Sydney Robert who is on the Memorial in Monmouth, and sparked all of this new found interest. I wondered if anyone out there could help? Dave.

Hello Dave ,
if you are looking outward - do you have any of the following names in your tree - Cecil/Saysell, Harris, Webb, Howells, Gilbert, Parry, Hyatt and/or Word?
Monmouthshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire are the hotspot for the DNA pool for Lord Burghley - William Cecil. Happy to chat.

Great to hear from you.
The Rucks probably came from Hereford where I did find tha one of them was a Blacksmith.
They gradually moved south and spent quite some time around Orcop, and Garway I believe that Amos was in Llangattock Vibon Abel in 1901 and 1911 and believe that he is burried in the same graveyard as Henry Royce.
His daughter Laura was my great grandmother.
Around Orcop were the Jones, Williams and Meadmore families all of which are related to Amos and Laura, in fact there were two Williams sisters who married two Ruck brothers, Elizabeth Williams married Amos. Her sister was called Laura and she married Amos’s brother James. I have seen an image of Laura Ruck nee Williams and she was the double of Grandma Evans.
I have only got back to Edward Ruck of 1818 with any degree of confidence, online records for Herefordshire are not as good as other Counties and unfortunately the Herefordshire Archives are a fair distance away from me.
If you are on Ancestry my family tree is there, pm me and I will send you a link.

Hello everyone
I have just started to delve into the Ruck family from Orcop in Herefordshire. My ancestor is Suzanna Ruck who married Walter Cooke. I beueve her father was Richard Ruck but I have found it very difficult to identify who her mother was. I have ordered the marriage certificate so hopefully I will be able to confirm some details. I am on Ancestry if anyone wants to look at my tree. I have DNA connections with several descentants of Susanna and Walter and I would love to be able to move the research further back
Kind regards
Mike
Any details would be greatly appreiated

Your welcome.
Entry is on Familysearch.Org
Siblings bapts;
CAROLINE 1 October 1815
EDWARD 22 September 1822
I actually had not looked at Census for Susan/Walter until now and noticed it 1841 Henry/Mealy Jones are living next to them
In 1881 we have;
Walter Cook 64
Susannah Cook 68
Amelia Jones 94 Mother in Law born Kilpeck, Hereford
William Cook 5
Looks to me that Richard died before 1841 Census, so c 1822-1841 and Amelia has remarried Henry Jones.
Marriage 26 August 1812
Kilpeck, Herefordshire, England
Ricd RUCK to Mildred POWEL
Is Mildred/Mealy/Amelia a bit of a stretch???
Trish :)
Edit;
YES ;D May be on right track??
Marriage 23 September 1826
Kilpeck, Herefordshire
Henry JONES to Mildred RUCK
-
Henry/Amelia Jones bapt;
ELIJAH 1 April 1827
HENRY 9 Aug 1829
JAMES 7 Sept 1831
I cant confirm any of the children in Census but at least one must have survived as Henry/Amelia have a Grandson George Jones born Monmouthshire with them 1861 Census
-
Possible?
MILDREAD Powel Baptism 18 September 1791, Kilpeck, Herefordshire
Mother ANN Powel

Oh my gosh this is amazing. I think Mealy is spot on - you are mazing at this - I have struggled. The abbreviation is what threw me. I'll gwt some of this in my tree and see what else Ancestry throws up
Once again thank you so much
