I just figured this out this morning! Granger Locke is AKA William Peter Locke son of Herbert Ivan Locke and Tabith Owen. On Wiliam's death certificate, it states his wife is Mrs. Siddy E. Locke. Can't be many with that name of Siddy! lol. This is a branch of my Locke's but not my direct branch. William was also married to Rachel Elizabeth Gott. I can not figure out why William would be calling himself Granger, must be a nick name?
