| Notes |
- Major General Richard Matthews RUCK and Colonel Oliver Edwal RUCK were career soldiers (in the Royal Engineers Submarine Mining Division) so don't always appear in the censuses. Richard was part of the War Cabinet in the Great War and was knighted in 1920.
Richard and Oliver both played in FA Cup finals in different years - Richard's team won and Oliver's lost!!!!!
Oliver Edwal Ruck. Lieutenant, 28-1-1875; Captain, 28-1-1886; Major, 3-11-1894. War Service: Transvaal, 1881.
Richard Matthews Ruck. Lieutenant, 2-8-1871; Captain, 2-8-1883; Major, 17-12-1889; Lieutenant Colonel, 31-12-1896.
At least one voyage in the life of Oliver Edwal has made it into public records. The Ellis Island website lists the arrival at Ellis Island, New York City of O.E. Ruck and his wife and two children, Laurence, aged 12 years and Mary, aged 8 years. Oliver was 42 and his wife 35 years at the time. The family arrived 30 March 1897 via the ship Trinidad sailing out of the port of Hamilton, Bermuda. That must have been quite a trip for the young children - memories that would have stayed with them for the remainder of their lives.
