Although it is possible to have people listed twice it's more likely to be 2 different people with the same name . They could be related .

A Enoch Locke married Priscilla Smith in 1900

 Enoch and Priscilla Lock parents of Noah
ENOCH  listed as hawker  of no fixed abode on baptism of their son Noah in 1904 . Radnorshire Wales  If that helps  it could be yet another couple !

You can compare the signatures on the different 1911 censuses
Doesn't look like the same person to me
The one with Priscilla has smith as his own middle name .
They have had 4 children born in different towns which would fit with a hawker
1 child had  diedd ( which would fit with Noah born Radnorshire 1904 ) .

What was your grandparents name ? Which family are they most likely to belong to ?

The Kidderminster Enoch is easier to find on censuses from 1870- 1911 his parents are Isaiah Bofi LOCK + Sarah Richards

Personally not  finding other censuses for another Enoch before marriage to Priscilla.
But the trees on Ancestry seem to contain mistakes

Priscilla s maiden name may be FLORENCE but she married as SMITH

Are these the two entries on census that you first asked about, if so they are 2 different Enochs and details have been posted on this thread.

We're this family Romany  ?

Do your DNA matches have well researched trees ?
