William Locker (Royal Navy officer)
William Locker (February 1731 – 26 December 1800) was an officer in the Royal Navy, who served with distinction during the eighteenth century. He rose to the rank of captain and held the posts of flag captain and commodore.
==Family and early years==
Locker was born in February 1731 in the official residence attached to the Leathersellers' Hall, in London. He was the second son of John Locker, the clerk to the company, and his wife, Elizabeth, the daughter of the physician Edward Stillingfleet. Like his father, he attended Merchant Taylors' School and entered the Navy on 9 June 1746, at the age of 15. He initially served as a captain's servant under a family relation, Captain Charles Windham (or Wyndham) aboard HMS ''Kent''.
After Windham's death, Locker moved aboard the ''Vainqueur'' (under a Captain James Kirk), which was bound for the West Indies. He then joined HMS ''Vulture'', followed by HMS ''Cornwall''. The ''Cornwall'' was the flagship of Charles Knowles, and both she and Locker were present at the capture of Port Louis. Locker then rejoined Captain Kirk, by now aboard HMS ''Elizabeth'', and returned to England. After the end of the War of the Austrian Succession, he made two or more voyages to India and China, serving with the East India Company.
