A LITTLE LUCAS HISTORY

My paternal Lucas branch has been transplanted on Australian soil for 8 generations to date and I have found three brothers making a fresh start here (so far). They were Daniel, the eldest and first to arrive @ 1881 then William and his family along with his youngest brother James in 1885. The brothers appeared to follow in the family tradition of being iron moulders with Daniel having his own company 'Bird & Lucas Pty Ltd' located in the Forest Lodge, Glebe area, Sydney. The company was de-registered in 1985. If anybody has any connection or knowledge of this company I would love to hear from you as I would like to know what they made!

My great great grandfather William LUCAS married Mary Jane YOUNG on 15 June 1883 at 43 Madeira St, Leith, in the County of Edinburgh, Scotland. They gave birth to their first child, a daughter Jessie during 1883. William followed in his father's footsteps as an Iron moulder and they sailed towards Sydney from Plymouth on the 'S.S. Gulf of Venice' and arrived on 3rd February 1885.

During the journey Mary Jane gave birth to their first son Andrew. They then had another son David John (my great grandfather) on 14th February 1887.

Tragedy struck the family two years and two months after settling in their new home, William passed over of Typhoid fever on 21st April 1887. Sadly young Andrew also succumbed to Typhoid fever during 1890 at the tender age of five.

Mary Jane never remarried and passed over on 29th October 1942 and is buried with her husband and son at 'Waverley Cemetery' in Sydney, NSW.

When we were in Sydney during January 2001 we found the grave and there is still a simple headstone marking the site.

This Lucas line does NOT connect with Nathaniel Lucas a First Fleeter to Australia.
