notes
George was born in Bradwell, on "The Street", near the rectory. In the 1851 census, he is living with his mother and father at "Blackwater". Old maps show this to later be called Bradwell. The Street is also referred to as Church Lane. In the 1871 census it refers to Samson and Hannah Kellock living on the "west side" of the street. Unless George was born in "Foster's Cottages" which seems unlikely as they are not named, this would place his house somewhere between the Swan Inn at the main road and the Rectory Lane, probably just north of the lane. Bradwell is well inhabited by Kellocks. Several relatives lived next door and nearby on the Street, including George's Grandparents, James and Elizabeth. The spelling of the name is always Kellock when they live near or in Bradwell. However, as parts of the family move away it becomes the more usual Kellick, Killick, or Killock - often depending on local names of a similar spelling. George has his name spelled Kerlogue in the census for 1881, (or nearly - it was written with an H in the indexes!), and for 1991; and Ellen Mary Ann is called Kerlogue on her daughter's birth certificate. Cressing, very close to where he was living at the time, is the birth place for many Kerlogues which would explain this. George's working life started, according to Kathleen O'Connor, on a farm for seven years. This could have been an apprenticeship. Kathleen then says he moved to Cressing. The 1881 census has him as George Herlogue, with most of the family misspelled - making tracing him very difficult! Sophia his wife is there, as are "Elan M." (Ellen Mary Ann); "Allice" and Ada. The address is Lanhams, Rivenhall. Looking at the census, this is between Lanhams Green and Withers Green. On the map this seems to point to Lanham Manor Farm. (The next place from the census would be Withers Green - there is a Withies Farm, and old maps have this as Withers Green, just past Langhams Farm). This road goes north, crosses the main Coggeshall road and leads to Stisted where Sophia came from. Their first daughter, Ellen Mary Ann, was born in 1870 "on the Cressing Road, Stisted". Lanham Manor Farm, although in the registration district of Rivenhall, is less than a mile away from Cressing. It is only 2 miles away from Bradwell where George was born. Kathleen Young says he lived and worked in Cressing "for 22 years". Certainly he was living in Rivenhall when he married in 1870. Ellen Mary Ann was born in 1872 "on the Cressing Road". His second born, Ada was born in 1879 in Rivenhall, and Emily was also Rivenhall born in 1884. By the 1891 census he was a farm bailiff at Wash Hall in Braintree. So, assuming he was apprenticed until he was around 21, he could have lived 22 years in "Cressing" - at Lanham Manor Farm94, moving to Wash Hall around the age of 44. The only anomaly was the birth of Alice, born 1871 in "Braintree" - although this could be a reference to the district. At least from 1891 to1892 George and Sophia were at Wash Hall Farm, Braintree.78 His unmarried daughter, in true Kellock fashion, had Rosa Annie Kellock, (or Kerlogue as it says on the certificate), at Wash Hall in 1892. Kathleen Young says he then moved to "Bocking, where he was at Lyons Hall until 1919." His wife, Sophia, died twenty years before him.4. Family legend has it that after breaking his legs - he was knocked down by a car - the doctor visited him, and on returning downstairs, told his wife he had told him he probably wouldn't walk again. Thereupon George could be heard descending the stairs grumbling about "blooming doctors" and left the house for a walk! Later in his life Great Grandad Kellock lived in the "little room" at Clock House as it was erroneously called, had his bed in there as well. Daphne Ketley tells of how, if in a bad mood and one of the children went into his room, he would shout "Get out!"; if in a good mood, he would offer pear drops, saying "Wanna sucker?" Doreen Young and her friends used to tease him. He thought their sunbathing in costumes was disgusting, and he would chase after them. The name may originate from King's Lynn, from Ricardus Chelloc, 1167.112 He is in Bradwell, aged 2, in 1851 census.
