Hi Theresa, I'm sorry I was a little vague and didn't provide enough information for the Robert I was looking for (for someone else). The other gentleman and I are on the BHC List (Canada), and I am helping him find out about 3 LOCKHART siblings who arrived in Canada in 1884. They were born in Scotland -- Christina, b~1870, Robert, b~1871, and Colin, b~1872. He knows about Colin LOCKHART who remained in Canada and owned land in Ontario which he seemingly sold to his brother in 1898. But, in the 1901 Census, Robert LOCKHART is 27 and was lodging in British Columbia. (His look-up.) In 1901, Christina is 30 and living as a servant in Quebec Province. Colin died, unmarried, in 1949 in Saskatchewan. I have access to the U.S. Census, up to 1920, and I tried finding Robert in 1910 and 1920, and found a possible match in 1910. Robert was said to have been 36, born in Scotland, and living in Los Angeles ! He had a wife, Edith, and had been married for 5 years. There were other people in the home. (Edith might have had a child from a former marriage.) And, I initially thought the profession for Robert at that time was that he was an Iron worker, but I've been told that the handwriting actually says "own income." In 1920 all I found was a Robert LOCKHART living in Atolia, CA, Age 45, and working in a Silver Mine. It says he was married, but had no wife living with him. And, the other gentleman said that Robert was a "miner" while in Canada. I have no way of knowing whether I have "found" the correct Robert LOCKHART or whether the 2 mentioned above are the same man ! And, so far, we don't know if Robert and Edith had any children of their own. Thank you for any insight into this ! Betty P.S. The 3 LOCKHART siblings had 3 older siblings who seem to have remained in England. ----- Original Message ----- From: Theresa Griffin To: Betty ; SOCAL-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 1:09 PM Subject: Re: [SOCAL] Robert LOCKHART in 1920 (in 1930 ??) Hi Betty, I think I found them. The Robert Lockhart that I sent you earlier was an electrical supply salesman. Look at the following three entries: Thomas Lockhart, single, age 37, living in Los Angeles County, La Rambla in 1930. He was a "roomer." This Thos. also listed his home as Canada English, both parents were Canada English as well. He was an office supply salesman, and he immigrated in 1923. It looks like he may have had a brother, Harry W., age 30, who was living with wife, Margaret, in Los Angeles County, Long Beach, in 1930. He was an oil laboratory worker and immigrated the same year, 1923. He gave the same information on his birth place and the birth places of his parents. His son, Reginald W., age 9, was living with them as well. Another brother may be Willie E. Lockhart, 36, living with his wife Florence, both Canada English. He immigrated in 1923. Willie was an electrical salesman as was the Robert Lockhart I sent you earlier. I think these three boys may be the children of Robert. I found a Franes (Frances?) Lockhart, a 53-year-old widower living in Los Angeles County, Los Angeles, also Canada English. He was a telephone repairman and immigrated in 1888. A Rose P. Butler, 29, of England who immigrated in 1918, was listed as a "lodger" in his home. Maybe this is a connection? Before I go further with this, it would be very helpful if you could tell us the names of the Lockhart children, if you know them. If not, do you at least know their genders? There are a lot of Lockharts in the area in the 1930 census.

Hello, As per my other posting, a Canadian researcher is trying to find out whether the Robert LOCKHART living in or near Los Angeles around 1910 to 1920 is the person he is looking for information on ! (Arriving in Canada as a "British Home Child" in 1884.) I found him on census forms in 1910, with a wife and other people in his household. And, to both of us, the information is .. not really correct ! In fact, the information seems "way off." I was wondering if someone with access to the 1930 census could see if he was still living in southern CA and which data is found for him then ! He would like to find out if Robert LOCKHART had any descendants. Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA) ==== SOCAL Mailing List ==== Do NOT post virus notices to the list.
