Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re:JOHN LOCKWOOD d 1735 BOLTON ABBEY YORKSHIRE

I noticed your posting re the Lockwood surname and connection to Rudyard Kipling. I am trying to trace the Lockwood side of the family without much luck in either Canadian or English records. Do you have any more information on this family?
My grandmother, Bertha Emma Lockwood, was born in Barrow-in-Furness in 1886, almost certainly lived in Manchester, emigrating to Canada with her parents sometime before her marriage in about 1909. What is a bit unclear is the identity of her father. In one place he is listed as John Lockwood, birth date unknown, died ca. 1900 in Canada, married to Rebecca Halstead, also English, deceased in Canada in about 1958. (I'm sure of Rebecca's existence, but not of death date which seems rather late). Elsewhere Bertha Lockwood's father is listed as Thomas Crabtree Lockwood, but I am wondering if that wasn't her grandfather. My father's very sketchy hand-written family tree lists her grandfather as ? Lockwood, brother of Frances Lockwood and son of William of Lockwood of Cleveland. So my grandmother would appear to be either the daughter or granddaughter of a sibling of Joseph Kipling's spouse Frances.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
