Is this Alexander Locke???
Rose Lock ye wife of Alexander Lock buried December 20 1674
And so to the biggest question yet………..Are Alexander and Rose Lock the parents, or at the least father and step-mother of John Lock of Langtoft, I am assuming (until proven otherwise!) they are, circumstantial evidence is the continual naming of Alexander as John’s son also the close proximity of Thurlby and Langtoft, of course it may prove to be wrong but until then…………
