Tasmanian lookup - LOCKE-WATERS family COMPLETED
« on: Thursday 15 March 07 07:06 GMT (UK) »
Unable to find any info on the  LOCKE-WATERS family in South Australia after the birth of their fourth child in 1898.  Have searched BDM's in WA, NSW and Vic. 

Found a LOCHE-WATERS  in the white pages in Tasmania so bearing in mind there was only a son and three daughters I am pinning my hopes on this family being connected.

I am particularly keen to find the place and dates  of death of

Henry Archer LOCKE-WATERS b. 1862 married  1892 Mary Jane WARD b. 1866.

Any info on their children would be a bonus. 

Chn.
Muriel LOCKE-WATERS 1893 m. Frank HARRIS
Jocelyn Isobel LOCKE-WATERS b.1894 m. 1 Arthur CLIFTON  2. Frank BERESFORD
Dorothy LOCKE-WATERS b. 1896 m. Harold DAVIS
John Evelyn Archer LOCKE-WATERS b. 1898

Perhaps they moved from SA after the birth of this last child.

The info was given to me by a distant relly and I have validated all the SA information.  She can't recall where the info came from.  It is the WARD name I am researching - don't think we have any double barrel names in our family ;D  I have only been able to check possible marriages to 1937.

Quite a bit of the information I have checked was inaccurate.    Hoping sks with the Tasmanian discs can pick this one up. ;D

Cheers

Thanks Jenn - I did notice when validating the information on the marriage of Henry Archer and Mary Jane, that he was listed as WATERS but his father was Henry Locke WATERS - looks as though the LOCKE-WATERS name was adopted after marriage  ::)

The NSW listing could possibly be their only son.  I probably wont pursue this any further - would have been nice to have the date of death of Mary Jane WARD. 

Another one for the back burner ;D

Cheers

Hi Cando,

I am a grandson of the Jocelyn Isobel Locke-Waters and Frank Berrisford you mentioned above. Apparently Henry Archer Locke-Waters left Australia for South Africa during the Anglo-Boer war (1898-1900?) and brought his family over to South Africa shortly after the war (1900-1902?)

Note spelling of Berrisford. Also, Muriel married Frank Marais (not Harris).

I will try and get details of Henry Archer Locke-Waters's place and date of death. I remember meeting Muriel in Peitermaritzburg as a child.

Send me an email for more information. Maybe you could share some from your side of the sea...

Regards,

Andy
Locke-Waters

HI, I am Andy's sister, granddaughter of Jocelyn Berrisford, my middle name is ISOBEL, named after her, and I have been trying to find info about her for years, but did not know where to start. I live in New Zealand, having moved here 3 years ago from South Africa. Frank Berrisford, my father, and Helen, my mother, are still alive in S/A and I have 3 brothers and a sister, all in S/A except one in Canada. I would like to get to know more. I do know that Jocelyn died in 1926, when my dad was 10 months old, and his half sister Marion Clifton, who was Jocelyn's one daughter from her previous marriage, brought him up with the help of his dad.Marion and Isobel, Jocelyn's 2 daughters, are no longer alive, and my dad is her only remaining relation to my knowledge.
Jocelyn's brother died in Mesopotamia when quite young I think.
I know about Muriel but not about Dorothy...........
regards
Cathy

Hi Cathy and Andy

Well this is marvellous.

Henry Archer LOCKE-WATERS' wife Mary Jane WARD is where the connection is made with my husband's family. 

Briefly my husband's grandmother  was a WARD.  Two WARD brothers, Alfred and George,  married two STEGGALL sisters, Rosa and Fanny  in Suffolk UK in 1850.  I believe that both the WARD's and STEGGALL's were twins.

George and Fanny emigrated to Adelaide , South Australia in 1866 and Alfred and Rosa  in 1865.  Mary Jane WARD who married Henry Archer LOCKE-WATERS was the youngest daughter of Alfred and Rosa.

Rosa died in Dec 1866 after the birth of Mary Jane.

My OH's grandmother  is the grandaughter of George and Fanny WARD.

I apologise for the incorrect spelling of your surname.  I know nothing more about the chn named other than was given to me which I have outlined in my first posting but am more than willing to give you all I have on the WARD family in South Australia and England. 

I do have names of Muriel's chn, Dorothy's chn and of course Jocelyn's chn from both marriages.

Cheers
Cando

Hi all

We all love a good ending to a search. ;D ;D

Thought you may be interested in the connection with Cathy and Andy's family.

My OH is a fourth cousin to their father, and fourth cousin, once removed to them.

Cheers
