Agnes Katherine Raymond Daniell was born in Marylebone on 8 July 1877. In 1906 she married Charles Tuckey, a mathematics master at Charterhouse, with whom she played mixed doubles, and in 1908 she entered the Wimbledon singles for the first time, winning her first two matches.
When the mixed doubles became a championship event at Wimbledon in 1913 she won it with Hope Crisp, the final ending when their opponent Ethel Larcombe was hit in the eye and could not go on. She played on at Wimbledon into her fifties: eleven singles events up to 1928, twelve doubles events and ten mixed up to 1932. In 1931 and 1932 her partner in the mixed was her son Raymond, who went on to win the Wimbledon men's doubles in 1936. Her daughter Kay also played for Britain. Agnes Tuckey died in Winchester on 13 May 1972.
