LOCK - STOKES from Somerset
« on: Friday 21 March 08 01:15 GMT (UK) »
Walter Lock(e) was a farm labourer born in Somerset about 1846.   He arrived in South Australia aboard the 'Coldstream' in 1865 aged 19. He died at Riverton S.A. on 6th June 1927.

Walter married Ann Stokes a dairymaid who was born in Somerset in 1844.  She also arrived in South Australia on the 'Coldstream' in 1865.  It is not known whether they knew each other before the voyage, or met on board.

Any information about the Locks or Stokes would be appreciated.

I have found a possible candidate for your Walter Lock in the 1851 and 1861 censuses:

1851  HO 107/1925
Shapwick
William Lock  head  mar  36  farm labourer  bn Shapwick
Sarah Lock  wife  mar  37                             bn Cattcott Burtle
Silas Lock  son   9     scholar                         bn Catcott Burtle
Walter Lock   son  7   scholar                        bn Catcott Burtle
Albert Lock   son  5   scholar                         bn Catcott Burtle
Christiana Lock  dau  2                                 bn Shapwick
John Whitcombe  lodger  widr  62  shoemaker  bn Ashcott

1861  RG 9 /1667
Meare - Godney
Edwin Baker   head  mar  30  farmer of 150 acres employing 4 men and 2 boys  bn Ansford
Elizabeth Baker  wife  mar  28                       bn Meare
Anne Baker   dau  3                                       bn Meare
Amelia Churchman  sister in law  unm 25      bn Meare
Eliza Brice  serv  unm  15  nursemaid            bn Westbury
Walter Lock  serv  unm  16  farm servant      bn Shapwick


I cannot find this Walter Lock in the 1871 census and his occupation is appropriate. 

In 1861 his parents are still in Shapwick with three more younger children, Maria, Mary Jane and Harriet.
