William John Locke (March 20, 1863 - May 15, 1930) was a novelist, born in Cunningsbury St George, Christ Church, Demerara British Guiana on the 20th March 1863, the elder son of John Locke, bank clerk, of Barbados, and his wife, Sarah Elizabeth. His parents were English. In 1864 his family went to Trinidad, where he was educated at the Queen's Royal College, and won an exhibition to St John's College, Cambridge. He attended Cambridge in 1881 and graduated with honours in the mathematical tripos of 1884, despite his dislike of that 'utterly futile and inhuman subject'.
