Cinderella Lock, Thornbury Gloucestershire

[Tedium2]

Hi, I am trying to trace Cinderella's family back from her marriage.
She married Maurice Dixon in 1912 in Thornbury, father named as John Lock, horse dealer. They came from a Traveller family.
On her death in 1927 her age is given as 32 which would make her birth year 1895. This and other circumstances mean I presume she is NOT the Cinderella Lock b.1891 Bedminster, Somerset or the Cinderella Lock who married Ambrose Smith in 1907 in Ledbury, Herefordshire.
Would like to find any trace of Cinderella and/or John on a census. Being travelers/gypsies they may not have appeared or are wrongly transcribed.
I have found a John Davis, son of Cinderella Davis, who later changed her name to Lock on her daughters marriage to William Lock on the 1871 census but am not sure if this is the right one.

Welcome to RootsChat!

FreeBMD shows her death at age 35?!
Putting her birth c 1891/1892?

So the birth in Bedminster is looking good?!

Ha! Well that's my first lesson: do not quote from your notes but from the records.
Thank you, I will now send off for that birth certificate.

No problems!

From what I am learning Cinderella Dixon (Nee Lock) married to Maurice Dixon would have been my grate-grandmother. I too am interested in finding more about where she came from. I am the granddaughter of Cinderella’s daughter Ethel.

Have you looked for Locke as well as Lock?
