Katherine Report 11 Jun 2010 21:59

I am trying to find any information regarding a William Arnold Biddell Lucas's parents.

I have his marriage cert of 8th oct 1883 to a Mary Anne James in Oystermouth Glamorgan. His father is William Biddell Lucas a Brazier. According to a 1891 census William A Lucas was born around 1859 in London Holloway and a mariner.
I searched Freebmd and got a birth cert for a William Lucas 1859 Islington . On it is no father but mother Sarah Lucas of 8 bowmans palce Islington.
I can not find any census reports before 1891 for william or his parents.

Can any one help

regards
Katheirne

The only census I have is a 1891 census when William Arnold Biddell Lucas was married to Mary Anne James of Llanelly Wales.

On his Marriage cert his father was also a William Biddell Lucas- no information on him?

Well, as you can see, nobody else can find them.

I've looked for all 4 separately/together, first names/last names/no names, and I can't find them.
