Acknowledgements

I am grateful to the many people who have helped me by providing data for this one-name study. There are too many for me to name all, but I would like to give particular thanks to Glenn Bradford who, back in 1994, provided me with the Pluck birth and marriage data from the St Catherine's House indexes, to Pat and Bob Pluck who provided me with the Pluck death data, also from the GRO indexes, to Euan Perry who provided the birth, marriage and death data for the New Zealand branch of the Plucks, to Jane Liebzeit who has done some painstaking work on the very difficult Irish branch, and to Dave Carter who has provided invaluable assistance in a number of ways, in particular by sorting out much of the detail of the West Ham Plucks.
