Monica you're a star !    I think you have cracked it!    Neil certainly seems to be the brother of Hugh going by place of birth & parents.

Hugh also had sons Hugh, John & Neil and daughters Christina & Mary -  keeping the family names link.

Can't thank you enough, I've been trying to work this out for a couple of weeks

Hi Linda,

I have Elizabeth McKenzie marrying Hugh McIntyre McLucas on 29th December, 1892 at Kiel, Benderloch, Ardchattan.  The parents of Hugh are Niel McLucas and Hannah McDonald.

The family of Elizabeth and Hugh McLucas are:

Hugh
Kenneth McKenzie McLucas
Neil McLucas
Mary
John
Malcolm
Christine
Elizabeth

Kenneth McKenzie McLucas enlisted with the Canadian Infantry during WW1 and died on 20th June, 1916.  Also Malcolm McLucas enlisted with the Canadian Infantry and died on 15th November, 1916.  His wife was Grace P McLucas of Brandon, Manitoba.

The McLucas family were blacksmiths in Benderloch, Ardchattan.

I am related through Elizabeth McKenzie.

kind regards,
myra

I have a photograph of the War Grave of Malcolm McLucas. It is Rutherglen Cemetery, Lanarkshire. I was contacted by a relative of his who told me he died on a hospital ship on his way back from the Front and was to be buried at Invergordon where the vessel docked. A female relative, I cannot recall if it was wife, mother or grandmother travelled to Invergordon and refused to allow the burial there but demanded he be buried in Rutherglen where she stayed.

Hi there Mary Penning,

is this conversation still doing? My grandmother was Jane McKenzie and was related to the McLucas family in Benderloch.  I remember going to the McLucas home - Keil crofts when i was a young boy with my dad. I am also a distant relative of Elizabeth Aitken!

Regards
Thomas
