Fred, Ernest and Rhoda Sockett. - St George
« on: Monday 29 June 20 20:02 BST (UK) »
During lock down I have busied myself finding strays and fitting them into the tree but these three are amongst those that have got me stumped.
The only record that i can find for them is the admission register for St George National School.

Fred Sockett    admitted 31/1/1888 aged 4yrs 7m  Father occupation Game Keeper
Ernest Sockett admitted 26/8/1890 aged 4yrs 10m  Father                Keeper
Rhoda Sockett admitted 14/8/1893 aged 5yrs 3m   Father                 Keeper

Fred is noted as left the school 5/6/1896 and there is no record of the other two at school after this so I assume they left the area.
hoping that a fresh pair of eyes can see something I'm overlooking.
Many thanks
Fisherman

I agree with that 1891 census. I think the transcription on FindMyPast is wrong and the name is Lockett

Births Mar 1888 
Lockett    Rhoda        St. Asaph    11b   316

Mother's maiden name is Thomas.

Kay, groom,
Thank you both for sorting this mystery.
The family are Lockett and not Sockett.
I took FindMyPast's transcription at face value and ended up chasing the wrong family.
Thanks again
