1886 as year of birth might not be correct, as published in Asimov's Science Fiction, an essay by Robert Silverberg titled "Reflections: Prodigies" :
"...But then we have George F. Locke, who was fifteen, in 1926, when his story "Smoke Rings" appeared in his high school literary magazine under the pseudonym of "George McLociard." Hugo Gernsback thought it was good enough to reprint in Amazing in 1928, when its author was still only seventeen, and went on to buy three more from him. But the name of George McLociard was not heard of in science fiction again after 1931.", suggesting a year of birth in the 1910-1911 era. --Dirk P Broer 19:34, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
