It looks as though Charles was a soldier. Follow this link for a
Charles Bucke, 10th Dragoon Guards, discharged 1819 aged 37. He was
born Lavenham in Suffolk

<http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/displaycataloguedetails.asp?CATID=-3879225&CATLN=7&Highlight=%2CBUCKE&accessmethod=0>;

It looks as though it could be your man.

Kind regards

> Hello Everyone,
> I have rejoined this list after a couple of years away.

> I am looking for the baptism/roots of Harriet Frances BUCKE who,
> according to census records was born at KENSINGTON BARRACKS.

> Could she have been born at the barracks?

> She was born about 1818 and her father was Charles BUCKE who was
> born about 1782, I don't know where.

> In 1820, about 2 years after Harriet's birth, Charles, wife Mary
> and Harriet were in the little village of Hillam, West Yorkshire
> where her brother was born abt 1820.

> Does anyone know how I can find out more about Harriet Frances
> BUCKE and any ideas why the family would have moved to Yorkshire
> from London? Could Charles have been in the military and discharged?

> There are no leads on the IGI for either Harriet or Charles BUCKE, I am stumped!

> Many thanks,
> Jayne
