Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: William Isaac Locker
« on: Monday 22 October 12 02:16 BST (UK)  »
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.

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.
