    1. [CORNISH] Luckey / Luckaes
    2. Jim Stallard
    3. Hi Everyone, This is a bit of a long shot but how is the name Luckey pronounced down in Cornwall? Is it Lucky, Loo-key, Luke-kays...? I'm looking for a Christian Luckaes, married 22nd February 1821 in Sixpenny Handley Dorset. Lucas/Luckas was a common name around there and yet the Rector crossed out Luckas and rewrote Luckaes - as neither the bride or groom could write I very much doubt they knew how to spell or whether the Rector was spelling the name correctly: I'm just wondering if he was trying to get a close phonetic spelling?? Thanks Jim
