Researching the Lock's of Gloucester 1690's to now.
Trying to link Henry Lock of South Cerney 1770's to Richard Lock of Ampney Crucis 1690's.
Henry Lock is a Romany.

Thanks Toni
I guess I should have been a lot more specific in my post, but it was darn early morning and I had been up all night lol.
Here is where I am at in my search.
Richard Lock
Marriage Date: May 26th, 1698
Ampney Crucis, Gloucester, England
To: Mary Eldridge
At The Holy Rood Church
Richard Lock
Christening: August 31st, 1699
Ampney Crucis, Gloucester, England
Parents: Richard Lock & Mary
They are I think are my USA immigrants.
And I believe they also spent time in Islip, Oxfordshire
Anne Lock
Christening: December 18th, 1698
Islip, Oxford, England
Parents: Richard Lock & Mary
Joseph Lock
Christening: December 15th, 1700
Islip, Oxford, England
Parents: Richard Lock & Mary
I am fairly certain the Richard Lock & Mary in Islip are one and the same Richard Lock & Mary Eldridge in Ampney Crucis, the children's christening dates and names fit in with what I know of my Lock's.
I do not know who Richard Lock's parents are yet. But I am trying to make the connection between Richard Lock of Ampney Crucis to Henry Lock of South Cerney.
Henry Locke
Marriage date: January 22nd, 1775
South Cerney, Gloucester, England
To: Sarah Peters
Mary Lock
Christening: March, 12th, 1775
South Cerney, Gloucester, England
Parents: Henry Lock & Sarah
Henry Lock
Christening: March 7th, 1778
South Cerney, Gloucester, England
Parents: Henry Lock & Sara
Hannah Lock
Christening: September 10th, 1781
South Cerney, Gloucester, England
Parents: Harry (Henry) Lock & Sarah
I have the DNA evidence to state that Henry Lock of South Cerney is related to Richard Lock, but how they are related I do not know yet. The issue is, we can't figure out who Henry Lock's parents were, and that I can trace further back in the tree back to Richard Lock but do not know who Richard's parents were.
Henry Lock's male descendant is a 65/67 DNA match to me, a Richard Lock descendant, which clearly proves Richard and Henry are directly related.
Henry Lock is a proven Romany which makes this more difficult to trace the records, because they were always on the move lol.
In the American records, Richard Lock and wife Mary and their 2 surviving children Richard Lock Jr. and daughter Mary Lock Perry are first found living in Calvert County Maryland in 1728, possibly a little bit earlier.
Richard Lock Sr. posted a Will dated 1745 in Calvert County Maryland in which he names his 2 surviving children Richard Lock Jr. and daughter Mary Perry, we presume she was the wife of
William Perry also of Calvert County Maryland.
In 1748, Richard Lock ( not sure if it was Richard Jr. or Richard Sr., but likely Jr. ) was named on a
St. Marys County Maryland Colonial Soldiers Roster along with many other men from Calvert County Maryland.
In 1755, Richard Lock was a witness to the Will of Walter Shirley in Frederick County Virginia, so some time between 1745 and 1755, Richard Lock and family left Maryland for Virginia.
In 1763, they are found living in Frederick County Virginia. Richard Lock and wife Mary and son Richard Lock Jr. leased land on a 10 year contract. No land deeds can be located for Richard Lock Sr. or Jr. as owning land in Maryland or Virgina in their life times, but the one land deed lease was found.
I believe this is but a small portion of a much larger Romany Lock family of England. Last night, I learned of another Romany Lock branch who currently lives in Devon thanks to the chat room here! 
There can't be multiple unrelated Romany Lock familys in England I wouldn't think?
One would presume them all to be related.
So I am in search of the Romany Lock's of Devon also.
Thanks again for any help
Donald Locke

i take it you have looked on IGI, i have not yet, i found the marriages on Phillimores unfortuantley it did not give any mroe info. than you already have, perhaps someone who goes to Gloucestershire RO will be able to help you further (fingers crossed)
also the place of marriage is not necessary where the persons married lived
will look at IGI later

Yes I have transcribed all the Gloucester IGI records and then some. But I suspect Richard Lock was also a Romany, so not sure if he actually lived anywhere lol.
Thanks for trying!

Hi Lesanne
I don't know if my Locke's were in Wiltshire, but always possible. I am just now collecting information, so my knowledge of where they were is still all new to me.
Is your branch Romany?
