Jack Lockett was the son of Mary Elizabeth Lockett when she was still unmarried. The father of Jack was a man named Henry Bofill, and he was born at Waanyarra on 27th September 1865. It is of note that the Lockett family also lived at Waanyarra and were likely neighbours or knew the Bofill family. Henry later married a woman named Evelyn Mildred Grey and had several children. The family was living somewhere in Melbourne later on when Henry Bofill met with an accident and was killed. He was hit by a motorbike and sidecar in Lygon Street Carlton about 6pm after alighting from a tram. There were a number of witnesses to the accident, and the owner of the motorcycle was charged with manslaughter. Henry Bofill was transferred to St Vincent's Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival. The mother of Jack Lockett, Mary Elizabeth, was born at Waanyarra on 21st January 1870, the daughter of James and Mary Ann Bryant. Mary gave birth to Jack in 1891. Later she married Robert John Burstall and gave birth to several more children. Mary died on the 19th of October 1949 in Ouyen and was buried in the Ouyen Cemetery.Three colour and one black and white photographs depicting Jack Lockett's father's grave and mother's photograph. a Jack Lockett's son Kevin at the unmarked grave of Jack Lockett's father, Henry Bofill (27/09/1865 - 14/05/1927) at Fawkner Memorial Park. b Kevin Lockett and daughters Vicki Grainger (nee Lockett) and Jennifer Lockett at the unmarked grave of Henry Bofill. c Unmarked grave of Henry Bofill at Fawkner Memorial Park in Church of England section, grave 2996. d Jack Lockett's mother, Mary Elizabeth Burstall (nee Lockett), in 1949.a 'Kevin Lockett at the grave site of No. 2996, Fawkner Memorial Park, Melbourne, believed to be his grandfather, Henry Bofill B 27-9-1865, D 15-5-1927' b 'Vicki Grainger "Lockett", her sister Jennifer Lockett with their father, Kevin Lockett.
