Hi,
I am trying to find information on William Issac Locker born 1861 Manchester. I have found his marriage to Mary Simpson 1886, and then the family on 1891, 1901 & 1911 censuses. I know that William's father was also William but cannot find them on the 1871 & 1881 census. Is anyone able to look up marriage details for William & Mary St Mary's Kirkdale 16th August 1886? Or find any other information?
Many Thanks,
-

Thanks for your help. Think I will need to get hold of William and Mary's marriage certificate to see if that sheds anymore light.

Hi hillhouse,
I too am looking for the evasive William Isaac Locker pre 1886.
I have his 1886 marriage certicate to Mary Simpson, at St Marys, Kirkdale, in Liverpool. William was a bachelor, age 24, a Cow - Keeper ( thats what it says!) and his father was William Locker deceased. His address was 11 Rachel Street. In 1891 William states he was born in Gorton, Manchester, then in 1901 and 1911 states, Manchester. I have checked out residents at 11 Rachel St, in 1891, the head is a Milk Dealer, possibly William lodged with his employer at time of marriage?
Witness's Samuel Walker and Ann Seddon. Neither appear to be relatives.
Unable to find him in any birth registrations or baptism records, am running out of places to look.
Are baptism records for St Marys available anywhere in Lpool? At least 4 of his children baptised there and perhaps a Godparent may be recorded?
William Isaac Locker died in Liverpool in 1937.
hope this helps.

Hi Dinks,
Thank you for the info. He is certainly elusive...
Do you know of any other relations of William Isaac Locker other than his wife and children, and the name of his father?
I will let you know if I ever find out anymore about him.
Thanks.

Hi hillhouse,
I am searching as a 3rd party for William Isaac Locker, his grandaughter ( who is 82 now) is my cousin by marriage. I have been looking into him on her behalf and what a brick wall he is. So I can only repeat what I have heard. That William had a sister Maria Locker, though all searches show no result,William named one of his daughter's Maria after her also that the family, possibly had connections to the or a church somehow? I have several 'Locker" families in folders one of which has strong church conections, if this story is indeed true? but all searches around that family have not revealed William Isaacs birth. The family had a bible that recorded the Locker lineage but it was lost or destroyed in WW2 during the Liverpool May Blitz. I have not contacted any of the other children of William Isaac and Mary Locker, can I assume that you are one?
We are about to order more certificates of the Locker children and Mary Simpson's birth also her mothers 2nd marriage in 1881 to John Flood as seen on family search. I have some Simpson Scottish details ( marriage/ census) but still undecided if I have the right family.
I am new to this site, can we email each other privately? I use ancestry - world wide and find my past but live in Australia so unable to do any hands on research, until my next trip back.
