I know he had a wife, where's the records?

Question

I'm looking for any information on Simeon Lockwood, born 1824 in Brighouse, Yorkshire. He is the son of John Lockwood (1793-1868) & Mary Mellor (1796-1863). They both died in Trenton, NJ.

Simeon had 7 siblings: James, Joseph, Mary, Elizabeth, David, John & Charles Mellor. All siblings immigrated to Trenton except James & David. James stayed in Northumberland , England & David moved to Georgetown, CT.

There are some records of Simeon, but none of his wife or children. He was married & had at least 2 children. I know this from reading old family letters. Any help locating records of them is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Not sure if this is the right one or not, but if his wife was Susannah, you may be in luck. I did a search on Ancestory.com and found this in the West Yorkshire, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1935:

1844, August 27 in the Parish of Halifax(?)
Sim(c)on Lockwood, age 20, bachelor, {can't read the profession}, residence in Northowram(?), father - John Lockwood, whose occupation is wire-drawer(?)

and

Susannah Gledhill, age 20, spins(ter), no profession, same residence, father James Gledhill, whose occupation is weaver
