About Keziah Lockyer, Free Settler “Hooghly” 1830
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/family/K2W5-GD6
This person was sent to Launceston, Van Diemen's Land after being ordered to leave Western Australia in 1839 and disappeared. I have been unable to find any record of her leaving for England
Keziah Brooks was born in 1786, in Paulton, Somerset, England, United Kingdom as the daughter of "James Brooks" and "Bettey". She married Paul Stoakes Lockyer on 5 January 1804, in Paulton, Somerset, England, United Kingdom. They were the parents of at least 7 sons and 2 daughters.

Keziah was born about 1785. There are a few Kezia Lockyers born in different counties around that time but as the family was in Somerset I think this is the most logical place of birth.[1]. -
She was married To Paul Stoakes Lockyer in Paulton, Somerset in 1804 [2]
She was forced to leave Swan River with "The Perth Gazette and Western Australian Journal, Saturday 13 April 1839" reporting : " Keziah Lockyer, the female who was found guilty of perjury at the last quarter sessions of the peace, has been allowed the same indulgence as that extended to a Mr Turner, namely, that she should leave the colony in the first vessel, never again to be allowed to visit these shores. " She arrived in Launceston, Van Diemen's Land, on the "Socrates", May 6 1839.[3]
She was notorious as a "high class whore to the Army Officers". Paul disowned her debts in 1838.[4]
As with her birth, her death is found in various trees in varying counties. I have found no record of her leaving Tasmania and as she was reportedly destitute I question her going back to England. I have hit a brick wall with this one.
