Convict Notes
William's parents were Thomas and Elizabeth Lucas, living in Preston, Lancashire. He was transported for secondary offences after serving time on the Hulks. After initially being a troublesome convict he was eventually assigned to a VDL Company farm in the Circular Head district, belonging to John and Ann Poke. After a barnyard accident killed John, William married his widow after he was granted a pardon in 1850. They had four children during their marriage. He died a wealthy man on 16 April 1906 in Stanley, Tasmania, and was buried beside his wife who pre-deceased him.
