Locke family
« on: Thursday 26 October 23 10:38 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for information on 2 daughters born in Ireland. Their Father John Locke owned the Old Kilbeggan Distillery and was married to Mary Edwards, (Muds), born 1863, died 1943 in County Westmeath Ireland.

The information I want to find out is what happened to the 2 daughters, Florence and Mary Evelyn. I think one married a soldier and the other someone from the rugby club and also one of them moved to America/Canada. That is about what I know of them.
I have checked:
Ellis Island and Other New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957, FamilySearch
Census of Ireland 1901/1911 and Census fragments and substitutes,
1821-51
Irish Genealogy. IE

Any help would be appreciated

Newspaper snippets (British and Irish collections) October 1910 reporting the marriage of Mary Evelyn Locke and Mr John Beardmore ? Batten at St, James’s (Roman Catholic) Church, Spanish place, London.
He is ‘of the Royal Fusiliers’ and son of Colonel and Mrs Cary Batten, of Bristol.

1911 census

In 1910 a report on the Westmeath Harriers Ladies race includes Miss Flo Locke and Miss Sweet Locke.
A history of the distillers in 2000 gives Mary Evelyn's nick name as Sweet, so it looks like she was still in Ireland in April 1910
