I seem to have trouble finding more about my GG grandmother.. Eliza? Elizabeth? Locke (c.1848) she was married to a John Crew (c1851) and in the 1891 census they lived at 9 Corner Hall Boxmoor,1891 in Popes lane Hemel.i cant find any more out about her or her family ...It is rumoured she came from a whisky distillery family and there was a maltsters called Locke & Smith in the area that went bust.Does any one have any more information about this family or company?.I did see a article William J Locke(author) wrote and he gave his address at time as Corner Hall and i wondered if he was a cousin or brother of Eliza.Thanks.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat
If that is the correct marriage - then the 1871 entry shows Eliza was 19 (b 1852) and was b Northants - not Herts
What was her birthplace on the 1891 census entry you found?

The birth place states Evenley, Northamptonshire on the later census.

I suppose I do need to get the wed cert to get further clues to her father.The only other clue that I have is that William J Locke( who doesnt seem to have been born in the uk) writes a article from Corner Hall and I can only guess he is a brother or cousin or just a coincidental name.

Sorry ..I originally found it by typing Locke Corner Hall Boxmoor in a search engine but I didnt book mark it .Hemel Hempstead Today online has a list of street names and mentions W J Locke playwright living at Corner Hall.

Thank you Corner Hall later became a school..I think.That why I was hoping to get more info of the area.William J is younger than Eliza..it would be exciting if more than a name coincidence.I wonder how many people resided at Corner Hall.?
