[princess13]

Hi all, i am a beginner and am slowly learning the ways :0 ... But... I am stuck with my great grandfather already!! Thomas Lockwood Born about 1902 in England. Emigrated to New Zealand at some point to live in New Plymouth. Have his parents name also but cant find anything else from them either.. If anyone has any info i would really appreciate it

Thanks

Hi and welcome to FHUK

Can you give us the names of Thomas's parents please?
Also who did he marry?

 

[DaveHam9]

Hello and welcome to FHUK

It helps us if you give us all the info you already have on the family.

Are you looking for details of Thomas himself or just his parents, grandparents...

It helps if we know we are working the tree one way only or both ways.

Do you know if Thomas has a middle name?

Regards,

Dave

Sorry no luck in shipping lists for Thomas.
Unless he went somewhere before N.Z?

I agree with others we need as much information as possible. however i have done a quick search and there seems to be only one Thomas William Henry Lockwood born in 1902, there were others in 1901 and 1903.

If the one I have selected is correct then his father was Thomas Henry Lockwood. I suspect his wife as listed Martha Ann is not necessarily your Thomas' mother as in the record concerned Thomas junior was 9 years old but parents only married 4 years His father was a stone cutter and they lived in wolverhampton
Will search more when you are able to give more information

I have found a T Lockwood single labourer left London 9 june 1911 on ship called Ruahine owned by the NZ Shipping Co . Its tonnage was 6823 and carried 478 passengers to Hobart . could perhaps have travelled on to NZ later.

Of course more info would help

Thomas Lockwood was married to Evelyn Maude Taylor in 1913 ( New Plymouth NZ )

Thomas father is Charles Lockwood ( farmer)
His mother was Hannah Maria Atkinson

Hope this helps, thank you for your replies

Many thanks

 

[princess13]

Oh and yes i am looking for info on Thomas and Charles Thanks again

 

[DaveHam9]

Hello,

One date has to be wrong. I doubt he married at age 11.

Any indication Thomas had a middle name?

Regards,

Dave

Looking in Genuki I can't see a place that looks like Hersham/Henshaw.

 

[davelambert271]

Parish record - Holy Trinity, Bingley

 

[davelambert271]

Hi Dave
It may be an area name of Bingley, I'll get the AtoZ out and check.

I can't understand why Charley went with his brother, and was recorded as single. When did Thomas Hannah and perhaps Albert go?
The jobs and ages of Arthur and Chas match on the census and shipping list, so I think it's them ok.

dave

Edit - can't see an area, but record confirms Bingley. Bingley is in Wharfdale district, just in case it's misleading

 

[DaveHam9]

NZ Death 1915/5619 Lockwood Charles 41Y

NZ Death 1924/1003 Lockwood Thomas 29Y

NZ Death 1958/21048 Lockwood Hannah Maria 84Y

Possible
NZ Death 1939/17848 Lockwood Arthur 68Y


Can't see Albert or Frank.

 

[DaveHam9]

I have no problem with Bingley.

The Hersham/Henshaw certainly looks as if those are the only two ways to interpret the word.

Another possible NZ death 1932/2328 Wood Sam 61Y

Searching NZ shipping records is a real chore. You need to know the year and the port of arrival and the vessel to get to any free on-line passenger list.

 

[davelambert271]

I thought I'd find out Charles's mother seeing as Emma Wood on 1891 census had only just married Thomas in Mar qtr 1890 Huddersfield ref 9a 472. Sam Wood was a child of hers from her previous marriage

In 1881 Thomas 43 Austonley with wife Sarah 36 Austonley (Suberb of Holmfirth) and same children plus Freddy 2 months, living Upper Waterside, Cartworth. (also suberb of Holmfirth)

1871 Thomas 33 with Sarah 26 with Mary Hannah 2 and Albert 2 months at Austonley

there is a marriage of Sarah Mellor Jun qtr of 1863 at Huddersfield ref 9a 429
Sarah would only be 18 and there is a big gap before the first child so I was a bit dubious. However checking for a Sarah Mellor born 1845 in Austonley, I found a match on the 1861 census, a servant living with u/m Martha Lockwood 55 and her married sister Martha Jane Beaumont 29, so I think it must be her.
