I have been at a dead end with my grandfather and trying to trace him back to his parents. Every where I go I come up with a blank. I have been at this for almost 5 years now. I have the following information His name was GEORGE CHAR:LES WHITELOCK or at sometime the Christian names could have been reversed. A have Royal Navy Discharge documents that say he was born in Bexhill-On-Sea on the 14 February1885 plus RAF discharge documents that say the same. I also have a certificate of wounds putting at age 34 in 1919. I also have a copy of his passport with the birth Bexhill-On-Sea February 1885. A copy of the death certificate which puts him in 1885. I have an extract from the family bible that agrees with the above. The marriage certificate age of 24 put him 1885. The one animally is a discharge from the Merchant Marine saying that he was born in Brighton in 1887 I know he married Louise Heather Overington at Christ Church East Croydon on the 25 February 1909, he is listed than as living in the Royal Naval Barracks Portsmouth They had the following children : ALICE CAROLINE WHITELOCK (September 1918-June 1926,) AUBREY WHITELOCK (9 June 1927-22 April 1986), CHARLES REGINALD WHITELOCK (23 February 1912- 23 June 1985), EDITH WHITELOCK (20 January 1910- 16 January 1911), EDITH WHITELOCK (11 March 1929- 12 June 2000), KENNETH WHITELOCK ( June 1927-April 1984) LILLIAN HEATHER WHITELOCK ( 21 March 1920) (Unknown if she is deceased immigrated to Australia). LIONEL CHARLES WHITELOCK (21 May 1922(( Deceased date unknown died after immigrating to South Africa), LOUIS ARTHUR WHITELOCK ( 23 November 1913) Deceased date unknown died after immigrating to South Africa and VICTORY GEORGE WHITELOCK 21 April 1916 - 15 January 1994.All were born in Portsmouth and lived in 55 Trafalgar Street. I don't know how many children went to Hayling Island after they were bombed out but certainly the youngest EDITH. I know from a golden wedding new paper cutting the GEORGE CHARLES had a 1/2 brother REGINALD SPRAY. I have a small picture of his mother no name on it. I have no idea where they lived I also have reason to believe he had two half Sisters Florence and Kate they may have immigrated to Canada as the photographs I have of them were taken in Toronto. There seems to be no trace of a Whitelock family in that area. I cant find a his name on the 1902 census. Some one did dig up a Whitelock family living in Hastings at the time. At the date of enlistment in The Royal Navy hi was listed has living at 48 Hadds Street Greenwich and was an errand boy. Can any one point in the right direction to look please?
