- GRO ref: Ruck, Lucy Maude q2 1882 E. Ashford RD 2a 778; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as VantFrom the 1911 census where shown as aged 30, though this suggests born 1881 or probably 1880; 1939 register shows as born 17 Mar 1880.
Have I got the birth of the right Lucy Maud? I think so; death registration index suggests born 1881, and there are no other births of Lucy M or Maud(e) L RUCKs, in England or Wales, 1870-1890.

I have added an extra generation back from 'Goathams' in this case to show how two spouses of Goathams were related, i.e. Sidney James Godfrey, son of Edward and Clara's daughter Lucy and Ronald Charles Ruck, son of their son Charles. (These two cousins married two Goatham sisters.)
Edward and Clara had other children I have not added here.
