      • Having been in touch with a descendant of Thomas Locke, they advise me his name and date of birth come from a Family Bible.

        However like myself they find no evidence of his birth in St Albans, Hertfordshire.

        From experience what is written in a family bible is not always correct, families view it as gospel because their ancestors wrote it ?

        The bible was purchased in 1814 so all entry's are after the fact.
        Also worth noting if this is his date of birth any baptism could be much later.

        There is also a civil parish of St Albans in Nottinghamshire.
        But alas not found here either.

      • DNA Analysis of 2 different branches of Locke match Lockwood's from West Yorkshire.

        BIGY testing has confirmed that Locke descend via the SNP I-Y19883.

        Lockwood's have lived in the Huddersfield & Holmfirth area of West Yorkshire for over 800 years.

        I was always interested in the Locke name as it was similar to Lockwood.

        I am very pleased after many years to confirm this Locke Branch do indeed stem via Lockwood in West Yorkshire

        More Locke who can prove descent via these Branches can access FREE DNA tests via the Lockwood DNA Project.
