Over 1000 descendants of Archdeacon Joseph K Tucker and we can highlight two males:

  1. Gerard Kennedy Tucker
  2. David Horace Ford Scott.

Six Tucker males were born in the 1840’s. In 1965 the photo shows a decrease to five, in that current generation, at Gerard K Tucker’s 80th Birthday – refer to photo.

In 2020 again six Tucker males of that current generation. Many unsung successful females have achieved a great deal across early Australia. Fortunately, we are not a patriarchal family! Those descendants actively involved in BSL is numerous from op-shop participation in the mid 1930’s to 2011, donating, volunteering and providing intellectual support. The Stephen family had at least 4 participants over two generations. Two descendants of Horace Finn Tucker (GKT’s Father) have been board members, Professor Jane Freemantle (currently on the board) and me, Michael Tucker until 2019.
