Not related........just a lookup

Not much details to go on but I did find a possible match. Infact it is the only D. G. Locke on the 1900 AZ census. You can view his original death certificate on the AZ Vital Records site.

David G Locke
Birth:       Oct. 26, 1863
Death:       Dec. 8, 1903
You will find his cemetery record on Findagrave.com at the below link.

Although this grave & their location on the 1900 AZ census in Phoenix, Maricopa County.....maybe they were traveling. Based on the birth locations of their children....they are new arrivals to Arizona Territory. His occupation is listed as R.R.emp, so they moved around. Unfortunately this census was taken 11 Jun 1900 so it would not name the child you are looking for. But it might be a place to start.

After D.G. Locke died, his widow Marie & their children moved to California. Finally found one of their children that died in California that listed their Mother's maiden name.

California Death Index, 1940-1997

Lock, D. G. 35 bn Oct 1864 ILL, md 16yrs

, Edith M. 8 bn FEB 1892 CO, dau
, Joe H. 4 bn Oct 1895 CO, son
**on later census records the wife is always listed as Marie. The handwritting/spelling is bad and the census taker makes his O to look like A to add to the confusion.

1910 CA, Los Angeles Co, Los Angeles
Locke, Marie 46 bn ILL, widowed, 8kids/ 6 alive
, Sherman E. 21 bn KS, Div, son
, Earle 20 bn KS, S, son
, Joseph H. 15 bn CO, son
, Lillian V. 9 bn AZ, dau
Booth, James 21 bn CA, son in law, md 0yrs
, Edith 18 bn CA, dau, md 0yrs

Here is Marie's death record...maybe ordering a copy of the certificate will list more details;

California Death Index, 1940-1997
Name:        Maria Locke
Social Security #:        0
Sex:        FEMALE
Birth Date:        10 Apr 1863
Birthplace:        Illinois
Death Date:        6 Jul 1949
Death Place:        Los Angeles Co

If this is the family you are looking for, let me know. I found the WW1 Draft Registrations of the sons that give exact dob's & full names. Also some of the kids California Death Records if you need them.

Hope something here is of help,
Marsha
