Thanks very much for getting back to me

Other than the location - is there anything that makes you think it is the same family line?

Do you know much about his family - as in who his parents were - or grand parents?

It will be interesting to see if we can work out a line.

Warm regards

Debbie

Sharon - did those certificates reveal anything for you. I have made a bit of progress with the Lucas family as I have managed to make a connection with a direct descendant who has a fairly extensive knowledge of the the family in Exhall.

Let me know how you are going.

Hi Deb, I think we are related. My great grandmother was Alice Maud Lucas from Northampton, near Geraldton, and her father was Richard Lucas and mother Elizabeth (nee Pickard) from Bedworth. I believe Richard ran a hotel in Northampton for a time but know very little else about him. I would love to know the family tree and story. If you want to, you could drop me a line at *
My grandmother was named Nellie Elizabeth Marwood, her middle name taken from her grandmother, whose history I know nothing about. Go well Deb, I hope to hear from you soon, kind regards, Tim

I am currently researching my family history. I think that we have William Lucas and Rhoda Wilkinson in common.
They are my Gt. Gt. Grandparents. Any information you can share would be much appreciated.

Hi Glasgow Girl - sorry I have taken a while to reply, but I have not been checking family history stuff recently as I have been very busy preparing to move house.

Can you let me know where you fit into the picture - so that I can place you in the tree -in my head. From which child of William and Rhoda do you descend? Tim, like me descends from their son Richard who emmigrated to Western Australia in 1862. Are you from this line too - or do you descend from one of their other children who stayed in England?

Let me know and I can see if I can help you out. As I have told Tim - I am really busy at the moment with moving and establishing a new home - and also have much of my stuff in storage - but do have access to information that I hold on my laptop.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Debbie

Hello Debandbill

Thank you for your post. William Lucas and Rhoda Wilkinson are my Gt. Gt. Grandparents. Their son Abraham b 1851 married Jemima Mountford (my Great Grandparents); their son Thomas (1883-1945) is my Grandfather. I did not know him because he died long before I was born, although I do have photos and other memorabilia. So, in answer to your question, I am descended from the Lucas' who stayed in the UK.

Until now, I had no idea that there were children of William and Rhoda who emigrated to Australia - all very exciting

I am new to Roots Web (!!!). If you want to contact me directly my email address is (*).

Kind regards

Caroline
