Julian Lucas

The author is a retired lawyer with over fifty years' experience in practice. He is an honorary member of the Law Institute of Victoria and an honorary life member of Communications Rights Australia.
He is descended from five convicts including the wife of Thomas Lucas, Anne Howard, and members of the Abel, Thornton, and Sherburd families. He is also descended from the first qualified solicitor to come to Australia who was Thomas Hibbins, the first legal officer on Norfolk Island. His relatives in Australia, mainly somewhat distant, would number some thousands. If the two Lucas men on the First Fleet were related, then this author would also be related distantly to two other convicts from the First Fleet: Nathaniel Lucas, and Olivier Gascoigne who married and had thirteen children. If so, the number of distant relatives would increase by over 30,000. The author is also descended from families with the names Ryan, Nolan, Fern and Fisher among others.
