I've found a marriage in 1903 in Bury for Albert Locke to Louisa Whiting,aso found another child Annie born Bury 1911 do any of that seem familiar? Without getting marriage certificates and Births it can be difficult if nothing else is known. xx

looking at the papers i have there is mention of a Albert Locke but thats all i have no dates or anything for him, but the mothers maiden name would match with the birth of james it would seem

I think you could be right, as even then they were still having babies into the 40's so it does look like them
