Title: 1841 Lookup - Lock Families in Barnstaple
Post by: Andy_J_Lock on Tuesday 21 June 05 18:05 BST (UK)
Hello to you all

I wonder if someone would be so kind as to look up the Surname Lock in the 1841 census for Barnstaple? I'm particularly interested in John Thomas Lock (b. 1798, Barnstaple), a draper of Boutport St (although he possibly resided in High St after 1828). He was married to Elizabeth Lovering (b. 13th Jan 1798) and they had 9 children between 1825 & 1841.

Their 2nd son, John (b. 1826 Barnstaple) is my gt gt gt Grandfather, who married Ann Maria Payne (b. 1828, Bristol). Their eldest child, Jane L Lock, was born Q4 1847 in Newington, Surrey although the family were living in Litchdon St at the time of the 1851 census and 2 years later when their 2nd child Charles (my gt gt grandfather) was born  ???. I would be very interested to see exactly where John was living during the 1841 census, particularly if it could help me track down where & when he got married. The family had moved to Swansea by the 1861 census.

However, any information about the Locks of Barnstaple during 1841 would be gratefully recieved. Many thanks in advance.  :)

Hello Sue

Many thanks for the information. However, I'm surprised there's no mention of a son, John. I wonder if my research was wrong and that he's from another Lock line?

Would it be possible for you to determine if there's a John Lock aged about 15/16, living in Barnstaple at the time of the 1841 census? I suspect Litchdon St may be the most likely address.

Thank you for your helps with this.

Regards

Andy

Hi Andy

This looks like John

Sch. 9, Page 13
High Street
John LOCK, aged 15yrs  -  silversmiths apprentice, appears to be living with a silversmith called Richard Pass??(very difficult to read)

Hope this helps.
