His half-sister Anna Alexandra Hyde (née Locke) passed away at age 25 while giving birth. Locke received an honors degree in mathematics from Cambridge University in 1884. When he was a teenager, he called math "an absolutely pointless and inhuman subject." He resided in London and served at the Royal Institute of British Architects' secretary from 1897 to 1907. His books The "Morals of Marcus Ordeyne" (1905), "The Beloved Vagabond" (1906), and at the "Gate of Samaria" (1894) were well-received in both Britain and America.

On May 15, 1930, Locke passed away from cancer at 67 avenues Desbordes-Valmore in Paris, France.
