      • Very hard to read but you can just make out Matthew son of Thomas Lockwood of Heights, Thurstonland Clothier.
      Buried CA 1785 
      • As Matthew's Will was proven in 1785 - I presume this is when he died however knowing that I can still find no burial record for him.

      • Mentioned in the Will of Matthew Lockwood of Moss Edge in the Parish of Kirkburton, Clothier.

        Wife - Equal Share or £40 ?!
        dated 16th August 1779
        Signed Matthew [X his mark] Lockwood

      • The Lockwood DNA Project @ FTDNA is encouraging other MALE descendants of Matthew Lockwood to test their YDNA to compare with other LOCKWOOD descendants in West Yorkshire so far we have found 3 branches which we can not 100% connect to each other via traditional records but know via YDNA Analysis are all Genetically Related we are trying to fill in the gaps.

        Bolton Abbey, Bolton on Dearne & Austonley Branches are all related to each other via BIGY.

      Occupation Clothier 
      Died Yes, date unknown 
      Notes 
      • Can not prove this 100% but Thurstonland is within 5 miles of Moss edge and Thomas Lockwood was a Clothier.

        Note* In 1787 there is a Matthew Lockwood buried at Kirkburton which states of Heights [?]

        I have also considered 2 Matthew Lockwood's baptised in Mirfield !
