That's it then. Martha (Waudby) Lockton ran off - or at least - had Henry with next door neighour Murr and left her hugband. And Emma too? Martha was the wife of my second cousin three times removed! Really, I'm sooo embarrassed about my relatives!!!! 

Seriously though...we have no right to judge. Who knows what happened there.

It just makes me laugh that we can find out all this stuff many years later. I can just imagine that they would be horrified if they knew!

Hi Linda,

On the 1891 census there is an Ann Waudby living with Henry Murr. Ann is listed as Henry's cousin. So the Murr's and Waudby's might be related somewhere along the line.

Unless your right and Martha did have a fling with the neighbour.

Henry MURR married Harriett WAUDBY in 1855 (the couple the LOCKTONs were lodging with in 1861)

They were still together in 1901 and for some years after.

Ooh, well done Geoff,

So the Waudby, Locktons and Murr's were all related.

It looks like Harriet and Martha was sisters.

They are both on 1851 census with their dad George waudby.

I think perhaps Rebecca WARD appears in 1881 as age 12 born Beighton, dau of Luke and Emma.

[Kelly1]

I thought that Rebecca Ward may have been Thomas and Sarah ward's daughter.

On the 1871 census there is a Thomas and Sarah Ward with daughters Rebecca and Emma.

The reason I thought this was correct is because on the 1891 census Rebecca is Living with John and Emma Hubbard.

There is a marriage in 1878 for a Emma ward and John L Hubbard.

On the 1901 census Rebecca's daughter, Emma, is still with John and Emma and she is listed as Niece.

I will take a look at the census you have mentioned.

Kelly.

[GeoffE]

Yes of course.  I forgot about the HUBBARD woman. 

[Kelly1]

It's easily done.

They do seem to be a complicated family.

Hi Kelly

Charles Lockton died 29th Mar 1925 and lived at 64 Castlegate Grantham as per Grantham Journal obituries April 7th 1925.
I could look in electoral rolls to see who he lived with if this is any use.
