The following is a copy of the will of Edmund Mortlock of Bradon transcrib ed by June Monteith 31 Mar 2000 at Bury CRO - not sure how he fits in as y et but put this here for safe-keeping;

NB: The will was in archaic writing and the clerk was obviously tired, esp ecially at the bottom of the page! He tries hard to spell the same word di fferently. However, I had plenty of time and I don't think anyone would ha ve much better luck with the missing words. The section underlined and wi th an * was crossed out, as the clerk obviously duplicated what he had alr eady written.

Just saw your web site so thought I would tell you my connection to the Mortlock family.

An Emma Mortlock, born 13 June 1849 in Glemsford, was my Great Grandmother. She married Abraham Oakley Jackson in 1869. My Grandfather, Harry Jackson, was born the next year. I do not know who Emma's father was -- on her birth cert it just lists her mother, Caroline Mortlock. Caroline was the daughter on Thomas Mortlock, born in 1755. He married a Susan Everid. I haven't got any further than that. If you know that line, I would appreciate help!!

Is it true that the Mortlock family were generally cocoa mat weavers??

Just to let you know that I own a building in Haverhill Suffolk that was built by John Mortlock circa 1620... later lived in by his son Thomas Mortlock and his wife Anne... Thomas' initials are inscribed on two fireplaces in the building....

If you ever need more information... or any of the Mortlocks want to visit... it is an impressive building... 21 rooms and wonderful carved over-mantles (fireplaces) . It is grade II* listed with English Heritage... can be seen on web ... under Haverhill Physiotherapy Clinic or Anne of Cleves House.... good luck, Brian

Hi Tony

I have been looking on your site and have looked at the Mildenhall  Mortlocks who I am a descendant. I am sorry to say it is very confusing  for me and was wondering if you had a simpler version I could see? My grandfather was Frank Mortlock who was the son of Arthur and Alathea Mortlock of Grimsby.

Kindest regards

Andrew Mortlock

Just found your website, brilliant.   My great grandmother was Eleanor Mary Mortlock, born 1885? in Poplar, east London?  She married Charles Edward Cobbett.  They had Ethel Elizabeth who was my grandmother in 1912.   They lived in Chesterton Terrace, Plaistow, east London.

I found your Mortlock site by looking for a John Mortlock who produced a lithograph drawing of the LYDIA EVA YH89, the last surviving steam drifter, at Great Yarmouth.  It is number 42, and there is an order form with it for many others - ships, buildings, cathedrals and churches, and places.  No date, but it must have been between 1973 and 1978 when she was first open there as a museum ship.  She then moved to St.Katherine's Dock London, and we returned her to East Anglia in 1990.

I have been trying to find out who would hold the copyright of this drawing, as we would like to reproduce it and sell it on board.  Do you have any contact details, please?

Hi Tony,

I am Nawahl Mortlock, and living in Cape Town South Africa. I am very much interested in my origins, I have read that are Mortlock all over the world. My father has 6 brothers including himself, and we are all Muslims. Seeing that majority are from Europe, I'm even more curious how the Mortlocks came to the Cape. I thought my decedents were Malay, because of our features. Here we are referred to as colored people. The Cape came into being when the Dutch settled here to start a refreshment station for passing ship searching for the spice route. The Dutch then imported slaves from Indonesia, Java, Bali and many other eastern countries, that’s what I was thinking how we came about. So if do have any info pertaining to my info please let me know.

My email adds. Nwhl.mortlock@yahoo.com

Thank you,

Hi Tony,

My name is David Mortlock from Colchester.

I was born in 1950, my father's name is Edward Roy Mortlock and my mother is Mary Cynthia Mortlock (nee Flack). I never met my father, as he left my mum before I was born. He re-married, had more children and died in 1995 in, I believe, Salisbury. But I have not seen any details about the marriage or the children. My mum died on 27 July 2005, but always said that she could not remember anything about the Mortlock family but thought that my grandfather had a bakers shop in Newmarket. I have now started to trace the family and have a great deal of help from Bob Mortlock from Lincolnshire, who in turn was assisted by Robert Griffiths, and I have found out the following: My grandfathers name is George Clarence Mortlock (I have been unable to trace his wife's name) and he lived in Ashley Road, Newmarket; his father was Samuel and his mother was Susanna Elizabeth (Coe), who also lived in Newmarket. They had, including Goerge, 8 children, two of whom were called Bertha, Elizabeth and Helena being their other names and I believe that Bertha Helena died in infancy.


Courtesy of RG, this lineage goes back to Thomas Mortlock, born 1647, of Woodditton near Newmarket, so if anyone can help me, I would be very grateful.

My e address is: dave.mortlock@dsl.pipex.com

Many thanks,

Dave Mortlock.

My husband's great-grandfather, George Pantlin, married a Matilda Mortlock (born 1853) in Kensington (1881).  She was the daughter of James Mortlock and Hannah Bowers and was born in Hundon. I think her father, James Mortlock (born around 1831) was the son of James Mortlock (born around 1804)  and Elizabeth Taylor.  I'd love to discover Matilda's ancestors.

I am researching my great grandfather, Robert Browne, who lived with his Grandfather Robert Norfolk B; 1819 blacksmith in Stonham Parva suffolk, (robert Norfolk's wife Susanna B;1817, Harkstead, suffolk).

In 1871 he has a Nephew staying with him William MORTLOCK, B; 1855 Adelaide south Australia tracing back to 1861 the following appear in ST Pancras London   Eliza Mortlock, Fundholder, widow B;1823 Harkstead, suffolk Eva Mary Mortlock, B;1859 South Australia William debelle Mortlock B;1855 South Australia   so ELiza could have come back from Australia following the death of her husband between 1859 and 1861 of the family she was staying with in London, Charlotte Jane B1830, Harkstead Suffolk, could be a sister.  

Eva appears in 1871 in a girls school in Islington   Also Robert Norfolk (who seems a kindly soul taking in relatives children) had a brother in law David Double, B;1831, Harkstead, suffolk staying with him,  I am right at the earliest of the census records so no where to go on this but if it was the same family as Eliza, Susanna, and Charlotte it could be the origin of the Debelle/debell/dubell as a middle name one further thing, both Eva Mortlock and William Mortlock vanish after 1871, I think Eva could have died but my great grandfather "followed a relative to Canada"   I would like to be able to see the Birth certificates of William Mortlock and Eva Mortlock, but the SA birth index is not online and searching for Mortlocks in Adelaide is like searching for horses in Newmarket, if anyone has this info could you foward it please!

Best Wishes
