I can not find anything about him
well, you must know something to know he existed, and that he was your 3xgrtgranduncle!
Tell us what you do know and where you have found him, so we dont duplicate effort finding what you already have (it looks as if that has happened with the christennig record already)
And then tell us what you are wanting to find, but havent had any success with!
-
cannot find anything else apart from that census entry
could he have emigrated?
-
Well the few things I do know of him are his baptism date 25 December 1834 at St Augustines, Clutton, Somerset the youngest of nine children born to Samuel Lockier a collier and his wife Anne Perry and now apart from this 1851 census I know nothing I knew nothing of his exsistance until yesterday evening when I began researching my great, great, Great Grandfather Samuel Lockier's siblings, that is all I know about him.

there are 2 births with surname lockyer mothers maiden name francis in wells dist
mabel.d.lockyer jul/aug/sept 1912
jack.c.lockyer apr/may/jun 1914
there could obviously be earlier children seeing as they married in 1905
but you would need to look at the 1911 census to see them

Hi,
Could this possibly him, found on family search.
Abraham Lockyer christening 25/12/1834, Clutton Somerset, Father - Samuel Lockyer, Mother Anne.
Abraham had ason Obadiah Lockyer 1695 my Family Line down
-
I too am descended from the LOCKYER family of Clutton. I discovered there seemed to be a tendancy for some of them to join the army, so it's possible the missing Abraham can be found there? Worth a try.
-
In case someone has these in their line as the families in surrounding Villages intermarried.
Ann Lockyer married Benjamin Grant 23rd Oct.1783 Catcott.
Mary Lockyer married William Grant 7th Aug.1789 Catcott.
Grant family is my line so have not researched Lockyer family.
