Hi Tillie.

Your Alfred is definitely our Alfred. You have a family connection with Katmon too, if you read her post carefully regarding the Goulton link.Harry Grattan married Frances Caroline Myrtle Goulton in 1922.Her sister Hazel Mary Goulton was your grandmother?
Katmon has established that Alfred was born in Bethnal Green and there is a probability that the family moved to Kent at some stage.
At this stage it is hard to say why Alfred would say he was from Scotland.It may have been an error on the part of registrar or sometimes our ancestors just made up things for some reason that was important to them at the time '
Frances Isabella Connell Lockley's parents were Elizabeth Connell and William Lockley married in 1852. Elizabeth's father was Basil Connell and William father was John Lockley. Thanks to Katmon for this info!!

Hi
My maiden name is Lockley and my ancestor is William Lockley and Elizabeth Connell from Cambridge. I come from Henry Lockley their son.  I have got William's death cert from NZBMD.  He was born near Birmingham, England not Rhode Island USA as the Cambridge Museum says.  There are afew mistakes on it.  I also have Elizabeth Lockley's Death cert as well and marriage cert.  I also have worked out she is the daughter of Basil and Mary Connell, they arrived on the Bombay into Nelson on 1842.  Have them on the 1841 census in Whitehaven, Cumberland, England.  I live in New Plymouth, New Zealand and am totally hooked on family trees.

Regards

Hi Rosanna

I come from Henry Lockley son of William and Elizabeth.  He married Elizabeth Ferguson.  They came to South Taranaki to farm and brought up 12 children.
Their son Henry Edward Lockley and Jessie Millar were my Great Great Grandparents.  Their son Gordon Lockley was my grandfather (Waitara, Taranaki).  His son is Graeme Lockley my father.  We do come from an very large family.  Have you checked out www.myrasplace.net for the Lockley/Ferguson family tree, that is where I got most of my stuff from as Clive Ferguson has done alot of work on it.  Alot of the stuff on the Cambridge Musuem site is mostly correct but there are errors on it.  I have found the graves of William and Elizabeth Lockley buried at Hautapu cemetery Cambridge.  There are no headstones but I have taken photos of where the site is.  Got infor from the ladies at the Cambridge musuem, cemetery plans. Don't have much family infor on the other children of William and Elizabeth Lockley.
Are you able to help me?

Kind Regards

Hi Jillian,

Can please you give me the exact  date of Elizabeth and William's marriage. I believe it was about 1852. Their daughter Frances Isabella Connell Lockley, born about one year before their marriage.In 1867 she married Alfred Elias Farr. Their daughter Caroline Emily Farr married Henry Grattan, who became my husband's grandparents.Can you tell me when your 1st Henry Lockley was born please? Two of William and Elizabeth's children were Sarah Helen 1858 and Eliza Alice 1875. I think there were about 13 in total. Katmon gave me the list.I will look for it tomorrow.
Was your g.grandmother Jessie Ellen Anderson Miller. If so they were married in 1905 and some of their children were 1906 Jessie Agnes,1907 Henry James,1908 David William, 1910 Marjorie Evelyn,1912 Ruby Ellen.You probably know all that already!The whole family seems to be huge!!I can't believe how many children they all had back then!Mike father was one of 11.
Had a look at the site but seems to be down at the moment.

Kind regards Rosanna

I just went into it and it worked.
Married 25 June 1852 William and Elizabeth
I believe she was a child out of wedlock to elizabeth ?  not sure the father
william or someone else. Have not being able to find the birth cert.  In fact most of the childrens births certs missing from the NZBMD>>>>>>>>>>
9 June 1860 was Henry's birth date - one of the few certs for the kids

I have only being able to work out eleven children - two of which are buried at cambridge with their parents.  Can you please send me the new list. thks
Jessie and Henry Edward married in 7 June 1905.  she lived to 100 years.  met her several times when I was younger, wish I was doing this back then to ask her lots of questions. 
Both my grandparents have recently died too.
I have not being able to find Caroline Emily Farr's birth on NZBMD under what name is it reg ?
Had a look at the english census for Alfred Elias Farr too.  He must of sailed to nz between 1851 and 1868 which he is listed in a NZ paper for land ballot.
Kind Regards
