I am researching my wifes family history/family tree etc and have been looking for info.on Daniel Lochery.I noticed his brother died at the same time and found your wonderful information site. Cheers.


Andy Lockery   01 Dec 2013 

Patrick lockery, Daniels father, was my great great great grandfather. The last name was variously spelled as loughrey, Lochery, lockery. Patrick along with his wife Sarah and son Daniel came to Whitehaven from Ireland. I would like to know where in Ireland they came from.
