Westminster Baptism Lookup - Lucas - completed

[eramophla]

I am trying to locate the children of a William Lucas who married Elizabeth De Neufville on 8.11.1764 at Saint Anne Soho, Westminster, London. It would appear that the couple had at least two children in the St Martin in the Fields area (William and Robert) and that Elizabeth had a sister Gabrielle.

I am trying to connect this family to De Neufville Lucas, born in approximately 1832, who ended up in Australia. De Neufville's marriage certificate records his father as a Robert De Neufville Lucas. Any assistance anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I have since located a copy of the will of William Lucas in which he names his children. The children named are William (named as the eldest), Thomas, Phillip, Robert, John, Charles, Frances (who married a man by the last name of CLIFTON) and Sarah (who married a man by the last name of LEE). Son Charles was born on 21.12.1777 in Mark Lane, St. Olav, Hart Street, London. He and brother Phillip went to live in South Africa in about 1820.

I have found even more information about this family, including the baptisms of all the children on the IGI. Maybe someone may be able to assist with some of the marriages:-

William Lucas (b. 4.1.1736 London) married Elizabeth DeNeufville (b. 1743) on 8.11.1764 in Soho, London. His parents were Rev. William Lucas and Elizabeth Knight. Her mother's maiden name was Bosville.

William and Elizabeth had the following children:-
- William Knight bap 1.7.1766 St Andrew Undershaft, London, died before 1769
- William bap 1.2.1769 St Andrew Undershaft, London
- Phillip Thomas bap 28.6.1771 St Andrew Undershaft, London, died before 1774
- Sarah bap 17.12.1772 St Andrew Undershaft, London, married a man by the last name of LEE
- Thomas bap 13.1.1774 St Andrew Undershaft, London
- Phillip bap 7.12.1776 St Olave Hart Street, London, wne to Sth Africa
- Charles bap 3.1.1778St Olave Hart Street, London, married Elizabeth WALES 3.7.1802 at Corsham, Wiltshire, died 13.11.1846 Grahams Town, Sth Africa

- Frances bap 16.8.1780St Olave Hart Street, London, married a man by the last name of Clifton
- John bap 15.8.1782St Olave Hart Street, London

I am trying to prove the connection to a Robert Lucas (born cira 1799) who married Jane Moon on 23.9.1819 in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. They had a son called DeNeufville and moved to Australia. DeNeufville referred to his father as Robert DeNeufville Lucas. Any assistance anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

This is the only de Neufville found on the disc.

Thanks for the reply Edward, however I found out in the end that our families are not connected, so won't take you up on your offer.

Enjoy your own family history hunt - this forum is very helpful and useful.
