I am trying to find a William Locock, married Emily Agnes Laker in 1916, Southwark in London. I cannot find his birth. I found from Ancestry his father was called Alfred, but as there are that many Williams and Alfred's I am having difficulty finding this family. Thanks in advance :) |

Well, we're all going to have the same problem unless we have extra information, such as Alfred's occupation. You can get this from the marriage cert of William and Emily Agnes. |

I can't view their cert on Ancestry, I can only see the summary on there. I think my subscription is too low for me to view it. Does anyone else on here have more than the basic subscription to view the certificate? |

Ah rite ok Sylvia I didn't know if I couldn't view it just because of my subscription! Thanks for all your help, I am drawing a blank with these people at the moment. |

This looks likely to be them on 1911: |

Wow thank you Dea & Choccy! I wonder where William is on the birth records though I couldn't find his for 1892/3, so will look at 1894 as well. I don't have access to 1911 census and I have been stuck all last night looking for this family! I am eternally grateful xx |

I am very confused as to where William would be on the 1901 census, especially as he is only 7! Could he be at boarding school or with grandparents? |

This could be him. At first sight it does look like Alcock until I realised that the person completing the census does capital "A" like a large round small "a". It doesn't quite look like Locock, more like Llcock. But the person did have 18 pages of names to write. Although the place is described as an Asylum, it is in fact a children's hospital. |

I'm not too certain now that it was a hospital. There are about 350 children age 5-15, about 8 teachers, 10 "nurse domestic"s, and 30 laundrymaids, cooks etc. |

Thanks for that MadMeg, quite possibly him, I was confused as I thought he'd have been with his mum and sister at that age and he's not on 1901 census with them. |

You can possibly get the records of the establishment (for a fee) from the main library of that area or an archives office. They might tell you how he came to be there and why. My guess is it's some sort of boarding school - a lot of children of men serving in the forces were placed in such schools. |

I am looking for Alfred's parents' marriage if anyone can help? His father is called Henry Locock (born 1832) and his wife is Phillippa. They have very possibly married in the Devon/Cornwall area. I am struggling to find a marriage for them, so I would be very grateful if anyone can help? xx |
