They came to SA with two infant daughters on an aided passage (steerage
on the SS Dudbrook) in 1862. RKL worked for his sponsor in Natal for
several years before the now much larger family moved to Harrismith
where he bought a farm & built a house in town. They raised 11 children.
Marian lived to 86 & Richard to 91. The house & farm are still in the
family. The photographer must have been an early user of a dry plate
camera which became widespread in the 1870's.

Fabulous condition for its age. She appears to be one tough frontier woman!

An old photo of my GGGrandmother, Marian (Nash) Lucas, taken circa 1870
in Harrismith, Free State, South Africa, by photographer Jacob
Bloganowski. Marian & her husband, Richard Knight Lucas, emigrated from
England to SA in 1862. The photo was discovered by a cousin in Australia
among her late mother's collection.
