His half-sister Anna Alexandra Hyde (n e Locke) passed away at age 25 while giving birth. Locke received an honors degree in mathematics from Cambridge University in 1884.

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.
