| Found this on the brentford high street project website.... Great grandfather [1843-1897] Henry established the business pre-1892, the 1881 census shows him as a Somerset farmer of 115 acres. Incredibly apparently he moved to Brentford on medical advice in the belief that the fumes from the gas works would help his bronchitis, after his death from that ailment in 1897 his son John Tazewell Lockyer [1876-1932] also died of bronchitis aged 54 years, took over the business moving there from the Enfield Road shop, although my father Cyril Mark was born in April 1906 [he said] at a farm in Popes Lane, Ealing. The 1901 census shows that Fanny Avice Tazewell Lockyer, wife of Henry, ran the 400, High Street shop for many years after handing it over to John Tazewell Lockyer her eldest son. Fran |
