No correlation at all, but your asking made me collect my papers from the waste bin. Out of all those Tuckers only 23 were of commissioned rank, and most of those were Second Lieutenants. Two such were Second Lieutenants in the Norfolks, one killed in 1915 and one in 1918. They do not seem to be related. Only 2 reached Major: One was the St George Tucker whose details I posted previously, and the details of the other follow. They must be related. FREDERICK ST. GEORGE. TUCKER Major 10th Bn., Worcestershire Regiment who died on Monday 3rd July 1916. Age 33.Citation: Additional Information: Son of the late Lt. Frederick St. George Tucker (R.A.); husband of Eileen James (formerly Tucker), of "Aldwick," Elmsleigh Rd., Weston-super-Mare. Commemorative Information - Cemetery: OVILLERS MILITARY CEMETERY, Somme, France Grave Reference/Panel Number: VI. G. 4. Westn-super-Mare is in Somerset, which is traditional Tucker territory. Interestingly officers do not show the link their men had with their counties of origin. The CWGC site lists 248 Tuckers as having been killed in the 2nd World War.

Did you happen to find any correlation between service rank and Tuckers of a certain area? The earliest Tucker I have for sure in my family was born in 1759 here in Virginia. (It has been passed down that he came from the family of Capt. Robert Tucker, but we have no way of proving it or of knowing if it is even remotely true. ) From this one man and his wife has come a profusion of descendents as you would have never believed. From Virginia to Kentucky, then on to many other states in the US. I sincerely urge all who plan on settling a new, unhabited continent to leave lots and lots of paperwork behind for the use of their future relatives! Thanks for sharing your efforts with us. I, too, thought it surprising that there were few Welsh Tuckers, as I had been given the impression is was a common name there. I haven't a clue what area my own people came from. Thanks, and have a good weekend.
