Leck is how the name was transcribed in 1891.

Without buying the birth cert or paying to view the 1911 census you don't know who his parents were. All you know is that he was living with them in 1911. There's an older sister called Emma who could be his mother. You just don't know.

George and Jane might not be his parents. They could be his grandparents.

It's a possibility that he was Ernest Albert and registered in Lexden Q1 1903,4a 858.

KathleenBell

KathleenBell Report 17 Feb 2009 23:25

Going by where he married, this is more likely to be his birth:-

Name: Ernest Albert Locke
Year of Registration: 1903
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Lexden
County: Essex
Volume: 4a
Page: 858

Order the marriage cert to get his father's name and other detail's.It cost's £7.00 from the GRO online.

KathleenBell

KathleenBell Report 17 Feb 2009 23:21

If you have his birth date right then I imagine he would have been registered in the first qtr. of 1902 so these two would seem the most likely contenders:-

Name: Ernest John Locke
Year of Registration: 1902
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Bristol
County: Avon, Gloucestershire
Volume: 6a
Page: 74

or:-

Name: Ernest William S Locke
Year of Registration: 1902
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Solihull
County: Warwickshire, West Midlands, Worcestershire
Volume: 6d
Page: 611

The birth certificate will give you his parent's names, although it would be better to look for his marriage certificate to get his father's name so that you can use it as a checking point when ordering a birth certificate.

UPDATE - see my post below.
