The first was a typewritten, duplicated and comb-bound document produced in 1979, of which I distributed some 50 copies. The inspiration for it came mainly from a family tree compiled by Norman Francis Lock (see page 52), laid out in chart form on a very wide sheet, but for practical reasons I adopted a narrative format (retained in a modified form in this new version). Norman Lock’s tree concentrated on the descendants of William Lock of Dorchester (1780–1851), and so did my 1979 version. The earliest parts of it were taken from a family tree prepared in about 1938 by a genealogist, J. Harvey Bloom. So far as practical I have checked and where necessary corrected information taken from Bloom’s family tree. In 1984 I retyped my 1979 family tree, with corrections, updates and a few additions, using an early word processor, and printed it out on a daisy-wheel printer. Only a few photocopies were distributed. There soon came a time when the word processor (which used 8" floppy disks) was superseded, and I was unable to convert the data. The effort of retyping discouraged me from preparing another edition until recently I gained access to a scanner, which I have used to scan the 1984 version – not an entirely straightforward process, but at least less tedious than complete retyping. I have realised that developments since the late 1970s, when I undertook my research, mean that there is a lot more work that I ought to do on the pedigree before issuing it in anything other than a draft version. Not only have the 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses been made public, but developments in computing and more recently the Internet, coupled with the extensive genealogical indexing activity of the Church of Latter-Day Saints (the Mormons), have opened up a remarkable range of resources to genealogists. So, while work remains in progress, I have decided to make available draft versions to family members, distinguishing different versions by draft number and date. A “version history” appears on page 6. The most notable development in this version (3.04) is the inclusion of information from the digital archive of The Times up to 1985. I have undertaken a reasonably thorough search of the births, marriages and deaths for “Lock” entries and have searched for other surnames selectively. Well over 400 entries were found, and over 40 dates added as a result. A bonus was the discovery of a number of obituary notices, listed on page 8. A transcript of the entries noted is available separately. This version has been prepared using Microsoft Word and printed using a laser printer, giving the appearance of printed rather than (as in previous versions) typewritten text. In recent years there have been significant developments in making family trees available electronically, for example as Internet web pages. This text is also available electronically as an Adobe Acrobat pdf (portable document format) file with hyperlinks to facilitate the use of cross-references. But I imagine that most users will still find a paper copy more manageable. At this stage I am not planning to publish an Internet version because of the invasion of privacy involved in relation to living people (and the extra work involved in producing a version without references to living people). I am open to suggestions as to ways to make available my material. Corrections, additions and updates will be welcomed and will be included in future versions. The layout of the family tree The original family tree began with William Lock of Dorchester (1780–1851) (see page 14), and contained an appendix with details of his ancestry. This version adopts a slightly different principle which means that there is no need to relegate the earlier material to an appendix, and accordingly the family tree begins with William’s great-grandfather, also William Lock (buried 1754) (see page 9). The new principle adopted, which I hope is easier to follow, is that information is divided into sections which fit on a page; and all of a person’s children are shown on one page. Where there is too much information to fit on a page, information about one or more branches will be found on a later page (cross-referenced). Each person’s entry normally comprises a single paragraph (except that a later marriage will form a separate paragraph when there are children of the previous marriage). Biographical information within that paragraph is broadly chronological, except that a living person’s current address, if known, appears at the beginning (in italics) and details of any marriage, and biographical information about the spouse, appear at the end in order to lead on conveniently to information about children. Information about children is indented, and each child is given a number (which in a few cases may be arbitrary when the order of birth is unknown). Male and female children are distinguished by showing the numbers in bold for boys and italic for girls. Surnames are shown using capitals and small capitals (e.g. LOCK), and a person’s usual forename (where known) is shown in bold. Where that name differs from the formally given names, it is bracketed (e.g. Henry Osmond (Harry) LOCK). Where a person was married more than once, each marriage is numbered in brackets and italic, thus: (1st), (2nd). Details of the occupation, residence or parents of a spouse given at the start of the spouse’s entry are shown as at the date of marriage (thus “the late” means that the parent had died before then).
