Biography: Eliza Jane Lockyer was born in 1840 in Plymouth, the daughter of solicitor Nicholas Lockyer. She attended boarding school in Newton Abbot and lived much of her early life at home with her widowed father, sisters, or aunt. In middle life, she wrote the single novel A Child's Influence (1872) as "Lisa Lockyer" (which seems to have been her nickname). Though successful, she does not seem to have followed it up. By the end of the century she moved to London. She never married and died on 27 January 1910 in London.
