Thomas lockyer, look up please prior to 1896

I have pinned "Steep" down in 1891 Rotherfield. Thomas age 24(ish) is not there.
For future ref: here is a shortcut to the place.
Avery, Athalstan 41 b Rotherfield, Sussex
RG12/783,  Uckfield , Rotherfield  Folio  6

Have you looked at the Sussex weald site?   Link at the top of this board.   It has the 1851 and 1881 census for Rotherfield which if they have been transcribed by locals might well be much more accurate that any American efforts.    You can probably search the surrounding villages too.
Try Sockyer - L and S are often muddled.   
It will be worth looking at the original marriage entry in the church register if you can - Lewes record Office?

Thanks for the 1837 online info. I have found Thomas Lockyer's birth 1866, Uckfield, and ordered a birth certificate from the family Resource centre, so should have some answers in a couple of weeks.

In the meantime,
I've been on the Sussex Weald for the 1851, have not tried the 1881.
Am also trying Sockyer!

Thanks again Alex
