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.
