Biography
My name is Clare Spring, I was born in Canberra, Australia in 1987. My mother was born in Auckland, New Zealand and my father was born in Melbourne.[1]
I started researching my family history in February 2017 and Wikitree has been an extraordinarily helpful platform to do this, and to contain all my research.
I'm particularly keen to "grow branches", meet family members (please get in touch!), and to add information to the profiles of my ancestors. I'm also keen to learn more about my migrating ancestors, including:
- great-grandfather Norman Michael Campbell who was born in South Africa, married my great-grandmother Lydia Talbot in Northumberland, England, and moved to New Zealand in the 1920s with my grandmother Elizabeth.
- great, great grandfather William Spring who moved to Australia from Ireland in the 1800s
- great, great, great grandmother Frances Sheppard who moved to Australia with her family in the 1850s from Ireland
- great, great grandfather William Frederick Salmon (born in Somerset and moved to Australia in the 1850s)
The table below outlines my progress identifying direct ancestors.

| 3 | Great grandparents | 1870s to 1890s | 8 | 8 | 100 |
| 4 | 2nd great grandparents | 1830s to 1860s | 16 | 13 | 81.25 |

Regards Les lockland Warrnambool Victoria. 1-4-201
my grand mother Clara Lockland former name as "ORM ". Clara Millicient Venn is said to have married William Lockland on the 9- 10-1906 in Mitchem S. Aust. No records found. Clara Lockland ha 5 children. in several locations. Carlton , Nhill, Minyip, Crowlands and finally Ararat. Clara L, was buried in ararat March 1939. According to my father William Lockland he never new his father. It is also interesting that my fathers birth cert states his name as W. LOCHLIN. One year later changed to LOCKLAND. There are several ways the family name has been recorded. Lockland is on some documents spelt as Lockland , Locklin, Lochland Lachlan. I would be most interested for any information you may be able to help me with. I believe ORM may have been incorrectly entered. Cannot find any info on the name ORM. Kind regards Les Lockland .

So happy to hear the profile was helpful for you! Best of luck with all your family history research, and let me know if you have any extra Spring information to add :) Clare
Thank you for your participation in October’s 2020 Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.
Keep up the great work!

Since you manage, or have contributed to, a number of Prentice profiles I invite you to check-out the new One Name Study for the Prentice surname. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Prentice_Name_Study

The Prentice profiles I manage are cousins, I haven't (yet?) come across the name in my ancestral lines.
Thanks for your note and good luck with your study, I have had a good go at it with the Spring study and have found it to be a lot of work but worthwhile!
Best,
Clare
You have done so much work that I can piggy back on.
