Ok I have an update ,

Just spoken to my dad on the phone.

He doesn't know much about his family. He says his dad was Robert Henry and Robert Henry's brother was Thomas Heyes and Thomas Heyes was married ( as far as he can remember) to Jane Heyes .

Robert Henry and Thomas Heyes shared the same mum but a different dad. My dad thinks that maybe Roberts dad was william or Thomas. Possible william.

Maybe the irish link is a red herring I am not sure.

Does this help ?

Paul...Anything's possible....!!

Ok. it's took me a few hours to digest all this information ( I'm a bit slow when it comes to Geneology, not like you clever people.)

But it looks like I've got my dads family, hook line and sinker.

I think the confusing bit was the whole John Thomas Lucas thing. looks like my grandads mum remarried after William. Don't know what the heck happened to william Henry, maybe he went missing in a war or something ?

But a big thanks to all you clever and helpful people. If I could I'd buy you all a drink !

Thanks, now I can get it all down and show it to my dad !

Paul there should be more to add given you are back to Thomas and Jane (1881) as you have Thamas' father James Henry from Co Down...Plus you are needing to find out what Janes' maiden name was ...
Genealogy is very much a case of detective work and often takes you where you weren't expecting to go..!!

That's right, I didn't think of that, that's a new line to work on !

Thankyou :)
