Looking for connection between Joseph Lucas born c1780 (married in Deptford Kent Ann Richardson born c1780 13/06/1802) and Matthias or Mattias Prime Lucas born 1761 died 1848. Became Alderman Mattias Prime Lucas Lord Mayor of London - believed to be a Lighterman at one point. He Married Polly ? around 1790/91 died 1847. Have no record of any children he may have had or of his parents, or where they lived, but as was a Lighterman and then Lord Mayor of London - Somewhere in London would be a good stating point.

Any connection you could dig up would be brilliant.

Thank you and regards

Have you tried 'google' - for Mattias Prime Lucas - http://www.lewisham.gov.uk/LeisureAndCulture/LocalHistoryAndHeritage/People/LucasMattiasPrime.htm - gives a brief Biography.

He was born to Josiah and Mary Lucas.

Hi Jean

have looked at this site - its great what you can find on the web!!!

What I'm looking for is the link between the two families.

Haven't really looked beyond this site yet, just thought I'd put some feelers out - you never know what might turn up.

thank you
