I'm having exactly the same problem in tracking down any further details for James. I am Matthew Lucas, son of Nigel Lucas, son of Joseph Lucas, son of Joseph Lucas, son of Joseph Lucas, son of Joseph Lucas, son of William Lucas, son of James Lucas.
My family also used to have some photos of the family at Foxhunt, Waldron, but over the years they seem to have vanished, I don't suppose there are more kicking about are there?
Any help with tracking down pictures or finding details on the mysterious James Lucas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi my name is Charmaine Hardy. I think I m related to you.My great great grandfather was Joseph Lucas who built Foxhunt Manor & who gave the collection to Russell-Cotes Museum in Bournemouth. He was the grandfather of my Grandmother Gwendoline Langman ne Lucas on my Father s side. I have some of the family history worked out & strangely now live very close to the convent that was once Foxhunt Manor. Be interested to chat further if you so wish.

Hi Helen,I have my part of the family tree in front of me but ther is nothing under the names Annie J Lucas= Lancelles Lucas so I have no knowledge of your part of the family after that, but it seems my line continues from the oldest brother of Annie, Joseph Lucas b 1871 d 1918. He was my great grandfather. I think it was his father an other Joseph Lucas who built Foxhunt Manor & bought the Villa Prattellini in Italy where my grandmother Gwendoline spent part of her childhood.. When these were sold all the collections from these places were given to the Russell Cotes Museum in Bournemouth where they still are I believe although no longer on show. When he sold the Manor & the villa I believe he bought a large pile in Bournemouth where he died. I can give you a lot of information on the family from this part if you are interested as it was researched by my uncle who sadly is now dead. I obviously come from quite an affluent heritage but wonder where it has all gone! Please get in touch again if you want to but I have to tell you I m not very good at computers so am limited with what I can send you.

Hi james Im so excited to hear from you. Yes I d love to see more & I will try & send you some of the research I have here however I have to tell you I m not very good at doing this sort of thing so you might have to wait a while till I can get some help. My youngest son should be down round Christmas with his new son( another addition for the family tree) so Im sure he ll help if I can t manage it before.I f you look at the left hand side of your family tree you will see Gwendoline & I have all the tree leading off from her.On my family tree Joseph lucas & Ann Elizabeth Atkinson only had 7 children so you can see quite a lot is missing there.I will attempt to contact you on your website shortly.
