The son of John Johnson Tuck, he was born in 1812 at Witton, Norfolk. He was educated at Wymondham Grammar School, before going up to Caius College, Cambridge.[1] Tuck was a keen cricketer, making his debut in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against The Bs at Lord's in 1832. He played first-class cricket for the MCC until 1842, making a further eight appearances.[2] In sixteen innings across his nine matches, Tuck scored 77 runs at an average of 5.92, with a highest score of 20.[3] After graduating from Cambridge, Tuck was ordained as a deacon in the Church of England in 1848 at Chester Cathedral. He was appointed curate of Redmile in Leicestershire in 1851, before being appointed perpetual curate of St John-the-Baptist at Epping in 1852, an appointment he would hold until his retirement in 1882.[1] Tuck died at Epping in March 1885, aged 72.[4]
