Title: Lockett family, Stoke on Trent area
Post by: jonnybrowne1956 on Thursday 16 January 20 15:33 GMT (UK)
Hi all

I’m trying to find more information on my great-great grandmother, Elizabeth Brown nee Lockett, who I know from census records was born in Stoke on Trent c. 1816.

Elizabeth married a soldier, William Brown (although I can find no marriage record - possibly regimental and potentially overseas?) and had four surviving children. The family settled in the West Midlands after William was discharged from the army on medical grounds in 1854.

If anyone is related to Elizabeth, or has any more information about the Lockett family, I’d be delighted to hear from you.

Thanks.

Jonny

That marriage is in F M P Staffordshire marriages.  William Brown is a joiner, bachelor, of this parish (Keel)

Different couple, or when was he a soldier?

OK - found her as a soldier's wife in 1851, with her married sister, (born Ireland) and son John (born Berwick) confirms her maiden name.
