Samuel Bache Bucknall, according to his family was a colourful character and named after his father's employer. He was identified in the 1881 census aged 18 living at home following his occupation as a fishmonger. In 1891 he was as a fish salesman living in North Leeds with his wife Annie and daughter Katherine aged 4. Katherine was born in Blackburn so this implies Samuel had previously worked there. As Olive Ida was born in York, the family must have moved there from Leeds. In 1901 Samuel was a fishmonger living with his family in Jesmond, which is close to North Shields, a then major fishing port. His wife Annie died in 1902 at Jesmond. Samuel married again in 1903 at Ancaster, near Grantham to Mary Fanny Hare who was a widow. Her husband, a farmer, had died in 1900 and Mary then ran the farm with two employees. It is a mystery how Samuel came to know Mary Hare who seems to have lived in Lincolnshire all her life. She brought a two-year-old daughter, Olive Hare, to live with them. This resulted in there being two Olives of almost similar age in the family but sadly Olive Hare died aged 15 in 1914.
Samuel was living in Darlington at the time of his second marriage and was described as a manager. It is believed he later had his own fish and poultry business in Skinnergate, Darlington. In Darlington, he was a Party Constituency Agent for the Liberal party and had the reputation of being able to secure the election of any candidate whose affairs were in his hands. He also organised charity cricket matches, one of which is recalled by Jack Hobbs in his memoirs.
