Lockwoods Of Horbury Circa 1800s 1880s

A Memory of Horbury.

I just read letters from long past ancestors that state they grew up in wonderful times in Horbury. Joseph Drake Lockwood, brother, Thomas, sister, Nancy and sister Elizabeth. Elizabeth and husband, Joseph Fisher, moved to America to start a Woollen Clothing Company. She brought her daughter Francis with her. The letters are very interesting. From the years 1868, 71, 81, 85 and 91. They were no longer living in Horbury but were longing for the youthful days they had there, it seems as if they were falling on hard times around 1870's.
