Grimwood Lockyer pre 1850s London
Information required for mr Gimwoods:
Lockyer Grimwood Married tp Susasanah Swanston Goff date unknown;
Children:
Edwin Lockyer Grimwood, Baptized 1837 St George in the East Stepney London;
Albert Grimwood,Baptized 1839 st George in the East ;
Amelia Grimwood ,Baptized 21/jun/1835,St Andrews Holburn;
Sussanah Grimwood,Baptized 18/sep/1842,St Marys,Whitechapel.
Lockyer seems to have died after Sussanah as the family emmigrated to Australia in 1850 and in Edwins diary he mentioned his stepfather a Robert McLauglin a pensioner guard .
They arrived in Western Australia in 1850 on the convict ship the Mindon,Roberts passage was provided free as all the convict guards were ex Military,who were free to go anywhere they liked after the voyage.
The Family moved to Victoria during the first Gold Rush c1853,where I have a large amount of info on the life of my GGGGrandfather Edwin Locker Grimwood.
I would love more information about the ancestry of the family in the UK if anyone can help Ill happily swop info if you cant Ill still give what I have!
Best wishes to all
