Boston Passenger and Crew Lists, 1820-1943

Name: Marley Clifford Lockyear < Motor Engineer
Arrival Date: 28 May 1914
Age: 31
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1883
Gender: Male
Ethnic Background: English
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Ship Name: Cymric
Port of Arrival: Boston, Massachusetts
Friend's Name: Dalleford
Last Residence: England
Birthplace: Redditch, England

He gives his next of kin as Mrs Lockyear, 6 Hylton Row, Radstock, Bath. He hasn't stated what her relationship is. His onward destination was originally given as New York but that was crossed out and replaced with Detroit. He was going to see a friend called Dallesford (writing very faded).

That's not the only trip he made stateside - there's one in 1928.

According to a tree on Ancestry and the info Ive found, Elmer remarries in 1934 so he and Ada either divorced or? On the tree Ada is named as Ada Howard, so the info Marie posted matches

Heres the death of her first husband

Andy

Hi Marie where did Morley leave from when he went to the states in 1928 does it say if anyone went with him?

Hi Andrew

Yes Ader is his second wife his first wife was Ethel they married in 1909 although it is unclear if she actually went to the states with him

Donnie, my mistake - he was crossing from US to Canada in 1928:

Border Crossings: From U.S. to Canada, 1908-1935

Name: Morley Clifford Lockyear
Age: 43
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1885
Arrival Port: Douglas, British Columbia
Date of Arrival: 7 Jul 1928
Birth Location: Radstock Eng
Gender: Male
Citizenship: British

He was travelling to his employers - BC Motor Trans Co in Vancouver.

For Country and place of birth he has Radstock, England and Chicago, USA. For nearest relative in country he has left he has put Father - O Lockyear in Rithlington? Bath.

Following later was:

Border Crossings: From U.S. to Canada, 1908-1935

Name: Ada E Lockyear
Age: 34
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1894
Arrival Port: Douglas, British Columbia
Date of Arrival: 28 Oct 1928
Birth Location: USA, Bake Dec
Gender: Female
Citizenship: American

She was travelling to BC to her husband Mr MC Lockyear. She gives nok in USA as her father Mr S Howard.

Donnie, do you know whatever became of Ethel Lockyear?

just posting the English 1911 in case we need to refer back:

LOCKYARD, Morley Clifford Head Married M 28 1883 Foreman Of Railway Wagon Works Radstock N K
LOCKYARD, Ethel Wife Married 2 years F 21 1890 London Middlesex

Registration District: Prestwich
Sub District: Newton Heath
Enumeration District: 8
Parish: North Manchester

Address: 50 Wedgewood St Miles Platting Manchester County: Lancashire

They'd had no children

(Have submitted transcription error report to FMP)

His birth year seems to vary a bit, but the date is consistent:

Social Security Death Index

Name: Morley Lockyear
SSN: 269-07-4457
Born: 23 Aug 1884
Died: Feb 1941
State (Year) SSN issued: Ohio (Before 1951)

Some additional information from the 1930 census that Gins and Andrew posted:

For Morley Clifford it states he is an engineer and first arrived in US in 1914. In the column for naturalisation it has Pa - so guess that's the state where it happened. Surprisingly, there is a "No" in the column for being a veteran of the US armed forces - Gins has posted his draft registration (unless he was registered but never actually served?). His age at first marriage is given as 27.

For Ada E she is recorded as being born in Oregon and was 20 when she first married.

For Jarl H (I don't think that's right but the writing is bad) he is listed as born in Michigan and is down as step-son to Morley Clifford.

Hi Maria

I have no idea what happeded to Ethel she and Morley married in Northumberland uk in 1909 they had a son in born in Somerset November 1911 but sadley he died in Chorley Lancashire in 1912. Two years later Morley left for the states I can onlyt assume that Ethel didn't go with him as have found no death for her.What you have found has been very helpful thank you as i had no real idea what happened once he went to America apart from that he had married Ader. I did find a birth announcement for a daughter born to Mr & Mrs Morley Lockyear on the 29th December but have no name or year. I also failed to find a marriage for Ader & Morley. Morley died in Ohio in 1941

This looks like Ada E in 1910:

From the Edinburgh Gazette 1909:

No idea what it's a list of but I believe this Gazette published insolvencies and bankruptcies.
