Thomas Lockley was my Great Grandfather. My Grandfather was Frederick Charles (Charlie). Ellen had two children before she married Thomas: Bertha and Albert. Following her marriage to Thomas she had Christina (Tinie) and Charlie.

Lovely to hear from you. Good morning Australia

What a lot of name changes our family had. Parthenia becoming Bertha for a start and many others known by their middle names. Just what we need when researching!
I started looking for Thomas about 8 years ago and it's been an incredible journey. No one knew he had gone to Australia and I was ignoring his second marriage (Ellen) until I had checked out every Thomas left in this country. Once done I knew Thomas had left these shores. Surprise!

You probably know that he was the eldest of five (surviving) brothers and my line comes from the middle one -Samuel who was my Gt Grandfather. My grandfather was Edward Reginald known as Reg who named his son Charles Frederick-known as Fred. Strange that Thomas's son was Frederick Charles - known as Charlie
All of Thomas's brothers had sons named Thomas.Maybe after your Gt Grandfather or his father - another Thomas
I have photographs of both your Grandfather's & Gt Grandfathers graves.

So Isabel Christina chose to be Christina, or Tinie?

I'm so pleased that Thomas had more children in Australia and was able restart his life. I have become very attached to him over the years.My research has probably run into thousands of hours so we spent alot of time together!! In the last year I have collected just about all evidence of his life as possible to have - apart from a photograph
I am now considering writing a book of his life for the family. Only need time and the winter months
If I can answer any specific queries please ask and it's really lovely to discover a relative of such a remarkable man

Thank you for the above information
I actually have these recordings already plus wills/ probates/ grave pictures. etc. Even a picture of Lewisham Hospital in 1930!

In fact before people spend time looking for further information since I posted ( having forgotten about this 2017 post) I have completed all this research now going back 3-4 generations before Thomas b 1839

Thanks again for your efforts
