Tuke who appears in the Irish Census of 1911 as resident in Tanrego, Co. Sligo, was apparently a trained gardener and involved with Norah Geddes in laying out children's playgrounds in slum areas of Dublin for the Women's National Health Association of Ireland, under the patronage of Lady Aberdeen.(2)
