LOCKYER - Alfred Easter (Gray) - William CUMMINGS

[wdlocky]

Hi
Just tracing a line in my husband's tree and looking for any info on family of Alfred Easter Lockyer (d 9 March 1970, age 63 years).  Mother was Ada Jane Gray, father "unknown" but took the name from Henry Thomas Lockyer.  At time of death, had 5 living children, Warwick Alfred, Gerald James, Arleen Ellen, Lawson Gordon and Francis Bernard.  Was married to Emily May Webber, and appears to have two deceased children, Ralph and Bertram.

I have a newspaper clip of a tragic shooting incident, from when he was in Stannery Hills with his mother (Ada) and Thomas Healy, and I know his mother re-married William Cummings and was living in Innisfail.  Alfred was born in Longreach and died in Rockhampton.

Would love to find out if anyone has any further information.
Thanks
Deb

This may nothing, but I found a

Ada Jane WATT married to Edward John LOCKYER in 1906
Registration Place: Armidale, New South Wales,  Registration Number:   9390
Their firstborn was a Thomas Henry (Watt) Lockyer in 1900

If Henry Thomas Lockyer wasn't Alfred's father, is it his older brother (or half).. and Ada Jane Watt his mother?

Ada Jane WATT
BIRTH 26 JUL 1881 • Walcha, New South Wales, Australia
DEATH 16 MAR 1964 • Tenterfield, New South Wales, Australia

Edward John LOCKYER
BIRTH 17 OCT 1881 • Walcha, New South Wales, Australia
DEATH 2 JUN 1972 • Tenterfield, New South Wales, Australia

Thomas Henry (Watt) Lockyer
BIRTH 11 MAY 1900 • Armidale, New South Wales, Australia
DEATH 10 JUL 1969 • Bonnells Bay, New South Wales, Australia

edit: Henry Thomas Lockyer is in the 1910 Longreach, Australia electoral roll working as a laborer.  So this Thomas Henry in Armidale won't be the same person.

You will need to remove the names of the living children whom you have listed as offspring of your person of interest.
