Thanks very much Sharon . I did have most of it - but you have included some details that I haven't had - like the specific christening  date of Abraham. I had an approximate year - but that was all.

Every little bit of information helps fill in the picture - as you well know

Where/how did you find this information?

Hi Debbie I have collected  a lot of resources over the last few years for  Coventry and lots of information on the Lucas name. Your Lucas's are not connected to mine but I tend to keep information I come across just in case !
Looking at your Lucas they seem to have come from Astley/Bedworth parish rather than Foleshill Parish. If you need any thing more looking up let us know will see what I can find

Hi Debbie
Do you eed any census information? I have subscription if you need them just shout!

[debandbill]

Thanks very much again Sharon - interesting you make the comment that they are more from Astley /Bedworth. When I look back I can't agree more - and have to wondered why I even put down Foleshill --- that is the parish I have consistently had in my head. I don't have access to all of my stuff at the moment as I am in the process of moving. I have a feeling that some of the earlier stuff that I had said Foleshill and it has obviously just stuck in my head.

Do you know much about the region? I don't even have a sense of where the two places are and whether it is likely that they have moved between the two. I note that Rhoda Wilkinson senior was born in Foleshill and that the more recent Rhoda died in Foleshill in 1893

I will keep your offer of census information in mind and will ask if needed. I think I have most of the Lucas stuff that I need at the moment but will check as I go if that is ok? 

Thanks again for your input and offer of help.

Quite possible they did move between them, Foleshill to Bedworth about 4 mile, Astley to Bedworth again about the same. Astley to Foleshill about 7 miles. Exhall not sure what it's classed as poss Coventry but only about a mile from Bedworth. So all very close together.
You may wish to look at St Giles in Exhall Nr Coventry as there are a few Lucas buried there I have  the NBI if you want any looking up it doesnt give burial plots but name date & age of deceased

[debandbill]

What does NBI mean?
