Can anyone remember or give me any information on Harry Wilson Lock who was headmaster at Halkett school in the 1950's and his wife Flora Sabina Lock.They retired to Ch-Ch. Flora was my great Aunt. There were no children

Thank you for your reply. I have found a Calder road in Hackett so I will keep searching.

I am familiar with the "Calder" name as dad- Tom McKay, 1 of 6 children of Elsie & Alexander McKay who lived at "Greenbay" has mentioned it often.

I understand my great great great grandfather was the first minister of this church. He died at a young age but his wife continued to be a valued member of the parish.
His surname was Calder and he had just arrived from Scotland.
