Baptism look up - Lucas

[eramophla]

I am looking for a birth or baptism record of a De Neufville Lucas in Wiltshire, most likely in the Trowbridge or Studley Green area. His father is known as Robert De Neufville Lucas. It is beleived that De Neufville's birthday was 11.1.1832. He came to Australia as a child and married in 1860 to a Catherine Holroyd.

Hi!

I just wondered if you had seen these entries on the IGI relating to two of the children of Robert de Neufville Lucas & his wife Elizabeth:

Fanney de Neufville Lucas    Christened on 17th Jan 1834 at Saint Dionis Backchurch, having been born on 31st Oct 1833.

Anna Maria Theresa Lucas    Christened on 28th Jan 1840 at Monken Hadley.

Best wishes,

Ju

deNeufville Lucas came to Australia as a junior officer of the 40th Regiment. See his biography on the website of the Military Historical Society of Australia (www.mhsa.org.au). The biography was published in the Society's journal 'Sabretache' September 2010.

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.
