Hello Cheryl, We have had this family in our notes for a while now but unfortunatly we have been unable to link him with the Lock/e's on the island, however its not to say his grandparents were not from the island, especially as all his childrens names appear in other Lock/e familys that do have connections. I can also tell you that beside the children listed in the 1881 cencus there are two others,Thomas Peter 27/4/1862 Ryde and George Edward 3/4/1864 Gosport, extracted records on the LDS site, if you type in the parents names (Peter and Emily) and the childs names that appear in the 1881 cencus you will also get extracted records for most of them as well. Sorry I can't help any further but if you do find who Peters father is, we may be able to help you in the future, regards Andrea Cox (nee Lock). _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with cool emoticons - download MSN Messenger today! http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger
