Hi my name is William Lockwood and I live in Australia.
I am trying to trace the family of my grandfather Oswald Lockwood.
From the 1901 census I have found the following details:
His name was Oswald Lockwood and he was born in 1897 and was 3 yr old at the census.
They lived in Langsett road, (civil parish) Sheffield, (town,village, hamlet) Wadsley, (ecclesiastical parish) Wadsley, (county borough, municipal borough or district) Sheffield.
His father was Wilfred Edward Lockwood, born 12/6/1856, born in Stainbro.
Mother was Harriet Osborne Lockwood (nee Garlick), born 24/8/1865, born in Yorks Sheffield.
Sister Frances M Lockwood, 18 yr old in 1901, born in Yorks Sheffield.
Brother Wilfred Edward Lockwood, 12 yr old in 1901, born in Yorks Sheffield.
Sister Mary Lockwood, 4 yr old in 1901, born in Yorks Sheffield.
My grand father migrated to Australia as a young man, probably about fifteen and lost all contact with his family. I think he may have gone to New Zealand first and then Australia. He married in Fremantle in 1929 to Annie Robertson, a migrant from Scotland. My grand dad was known as Henry in Australia and he and Annie had seven children, being Jean, Henry, Frances, Edward, William, James and Faye. Five of these people are still alive and all living in Australia.
I thought the family remaining in England may be contactable if anyone recognises the names of the others.
All indications are that the family lived in the Barnsely, Silkstone, Sheffield area.
Oswald Lockwood was actually born at 65 Penistone Road North Sheffield according to his birth certificate.
I have a photo of the family gravestone in the Silkstone churchyard were Oswald's father and grandfather were buried as late as 1916.
Details as follows:
Gravestone contains five names:
Oswald died 1860 aged 1 yr & 8 months (son of Henry & Elizabeth Lockwood)
Elizabeth died 1864 aged 29 years (first wife of Henry Lockwood)
Judith died 1899 aged 77 years (second wife of Henry Lockwood)
Wilfred Edward died 1903 aged 46 years (my grand dads father and son of Henry Lockwood but interred at Corton)
Henry Lockwood died 1916 ( my grand dad's grand dad).
Would appreciate contact with anyone who may be able to help.

Thanks in anticipation,
