LUCAS from Southam?Coventry 1700+

[penshurst]

Hello all researchers.

Is there anyone "out there" interested in the LUCAS surname and related connected surnames from Southam and Coventry from 1700+?

I still have lots of gaps and would love to chat with people who have such an interest.

Hello
My ancestor Joseph Lucas, baptised at St John, Coventry 14 Aug 1805, a poor child of the parish in Coventry was presumably the grandson of Martin & Honor Lucas of Southam, Warwickshire. He was apprenticed as a weaver in Coventry and married Elizabeth Scott.  However I discovered last month that he was given three years hard labour for stealing and later stole again and was comitted at Warwick Assizes and transported to Tasmania and died in Victoria, Australia and was buried Port Fairy Cemetery 24 Dec 1871.  I found this info on the Mormon IGI site and wrote to the descendants in Australia who have give me dates and full details. He married another convict, and his former wife married an Edward Lynch in Coventry because after seven years she would be deemed a widow as he was tranported for life.   His daughter Harriet from the first marriage married my ancestor Henry Atkins in Coventry.
If you want to know more let me know.

Hello anyone interested in this line.

I am still trying to find out about what happened to Henry, Thomas, Jane and Lydia - children of Martin and Elizabeth [Dyer] Lucas, all born say between 1805 and 1815 - don't have exact dates in front of me. 

Would love to know who they married etc.

There must be many Lucas descendents in Coventry now connected to this line of LUCAS - but - how does one link up, - especially as I am in Australia?

always hoping

Hello Joy   My Joseph Lucas (transported to Australia) was grandson of Martin Lucas= Honor in Southam.
Are your ATKINS from Coventry and were they in Spon St, watchmakers like mine?
