Find Ancestors

I am trying to find descendents of David Lucas.
I can find him with his wife on the censuses of 1851,1861 and 1871. I know he died in 1881.
His children gradually left home - but I have yet to trace them.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you any dates and areas

Is this him in 1881?

In 1827, Constable began work on the project that would occupy his attention until his death seven years later: the publication of a series of prints based on his paintings that would stand as a summary of his achievements. The painter collaborated closely with the engraver David Lucas to create prints that would convey Constable's didactic intention—to illustrate the "chiaroscuro of nature." The medium of mezzotint, in which the design is developed from dark to light using a wide range of velvety tones, was eminently suited to the project. Here, the bright sun of a summer morning illuminates a richly textured landscape, striated in light and shade.
