Are there any descendants out there of James and Sarah Lucas who lived in Broad St Ely in 1841 with eleven children, including Edward who was my great-grand father. They were described as agricultural labourers, but by 1851 they had become fishmongers. James was born in Ely, but Sarah and all the children were born in Saffron Walden.
