Lucas - Lascelles Atkinson (barrister London) - Joseph (builder London) - Joseph (bricklayer Leeds)

by James Patrick Lucas

Nov 4, 2009

Hi,

My late father was George (Masutatsu Arthur) Lucas, natural son of Janet Lucas (~1900), sister of Lascelles Arthur Lucas and daughter of Lascelles Atkinson Lucas (1873), son of Joseph Lucas (1851 London), son of Joseph Lucas (1818 Leeds), son of William Lucas (1796 Leeds).

I'm trying to trace birth, marriage & death details of James Lucas, father of William Lucas (bricklayer), born on April 2nd, 1796 in Leeds and baptised on June 6th, 1796 at St Peter's Parish Church Leeds.

William Lucas had brothers & sisters also born in Union Street Leeds:
James Charles (1788), Rebecca (1790), Maria (1792), Harriet (1793), John(1794) , Robert (1795 ) &
Christiania (1799).

James Lucas, appears in the Leeds Directory 1798 (attached) as: Lucas, James, bricklayer, Union Street.

James Lucas appears in the York Poll 1807 (attached) as a freeholder: Leeds - Lucas James, bricklayer, (who voted for Viscount Milton).

I'm looking for parish register entries of birth, marriage & burial, as well as will, probate, death duties or property statement.

There are several James Lucas born 1750-1770 or married 1770-1790 but none seems to fit.

I would appreciate assistance.

Thanks,

Jim

    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.
