Isn't Bridport a town on the Dorset/Devon border.  Could it be where they got married.  Or where James came from.

I agree with Goggy - that Lucas may have been a prefferred name. On my Great Grandfather's death certificate it says Cecil Leonard "Charles" Hill which is similar.

Also, Bridport (yes, in Dorset) would be James French's hometown.

Cheers.

Ryan.

I checked Bridport on the map, it's only about 15 miles from Honiton, so as I said it could be where James was born?
