Hello Wilts Rootschatters,
I am following the line of James LUCAS born c1777 in Donhead St. Mary and need to find out who James' father was - so far I've drawn a blank - probably because I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment.
On the 1851 Census James (70) is living in Donhead St. Mary with his wife Mary and children Andrew, William, John and Jane.
I am trying to make a connection between James and a WILLIAM LUCAS who is catalogued in A2A as having some dealings with Henry Lord Arundell in Wardour in 1758.
Any help would be appreciated.

James and Mary Lucas from Donhead were my great, great grandparents. I am trying to find information to fill in the blanks fro their daughter Emma born 1855 in Donhead. Is anyone searching for her as well?
