And in 1861? View Record Walter Lock abt 1855 location, Norfolk, England relationship city Norfolk Ages are often only recorded roughly on censuses, and birthplaces can also alter. I searched on Walter born Norfolk in 1854 +/- 1 year. |

My tips for Ancestry - Always use soundex or wildcards. Always put the date +/- 2 years. (I sometimes use +/- 1, but only if I know I'm gonna be able to find them lol) Always use the county and/or place as keyword, rather than pob or residence. |
