Notes for Henry Ensor Fossett Lock
In Burke’s Peerage he is named as “Henry Ensor Fossett Lock, MA, only s of Maj Henry Osmond Lock, of York Ho, Dorchester”.

Eventually his forenames were found and confirmed and led to identifying which Henry Lock birth was his:

Name:                           Mother's Maiden Surname:
LOCK, HENRY ENSOR FOSSETT       ENSOR  
GRO Reference: 1921  S Quarter in DORCHESTER  Volume 05A  Page 536
__________________

In 1939 there were some 31 people living at an address of Champneys, Wigginton, Berkhamstead, Herts and a little over the middle of those 31 was this person:

First        Last                                   Marital    Schedule
name(s)      name(s)  DOB        Sex   Occupation   status   Main  Sub Number
Henry E. F.  Lock     May 24 21   M    Law student  S        10    28

1939 Ref RG101/1650B/003/41

This the only source found for his, hopefully, birth date.

Curiously at marriage he gave his age as 28 which would make him born after 8th July 1922 and before 8th July 1922.  I confirm that the 1939 Register form gives his birth year as 1921.
