Reply to: Oxendine, Locklear by nell
Lockclear again, and still no firm answer. Last time I suggested a version of the English surname Lockyer, "locksmith", but that internal L raises doubts. I don't think a French origin is out of the question, but the best I can come up with is Leclair, and that seems even more doubtful. The search goes on.
