Hi Chris The father of Sir Bernard Lovell's great grandparents (Samuel Lovell who married Ann Fudge at Bitton in 1843) was a John Lovell. My great, great grandparents were Charles Willmott of Cadbury Heath who married Fanny Lovell. They also married in 1843 but at Holy Trinity, St Philips, Bristol. She was the daughter of Thomas Lovell who moved to Oldland parish from Mangotsfield parish at the beginning of the 1800s. Charles and Fanny Willmott ran the grocer's shop in Cadbury Heath. At least one of Charles and Fanny's sons married a Lovell. My mother who was born in Cadbury Heath always said we were related to Sir Bernard Lovell, Astronomer Royal.

Alfred Charles Bernard Lovell was born at Oldland Common 13th Aug 1913 so would have been 99 next week. On the local news on Tuesday evening there was film of him I think from the 1960s opening the school in Oldland Common which is named after him and they still use the telescope he is always connected with as the school emblem. My great grandmother was Susannah Lovell b 1842 in Staplehill and always wondered if there was a family connection to him as its good to have a famous person on your tree. The surname is concentrated to the east and north east of the city with the biggest concentration being in the Staple Hill area of Mangotsfield. Back in the 1980/90s I collected numerous Lovell family trees from contacts all over the world and was able to connect most together with a total of over 1200 names. Unfortunately some people appear more than once as not everyone agreed on the same family connections!! Sir Bernard appears on one of the trees and his parents were Gilbert LOVELL and Emily Laura ADAMS who married Sept Q 1910 in Bristol. Gilbert's parents were Charles LOVELL and Julia MAY who married 1875 at Bitton and in 1881 were living at "Oldland Common Grocers Shop". Sir Bernard's great grandparents were Samuel LOVELL and Ann FUDGE who married 1843 at Bitton The tree continues into the early 1700 where there is a "possible" connection to my tree.

Hi Listers, Like many other family history researchers, I have gaps in my knowledge of the lives of some of my relatives who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One of these elusive relatives is my 2x great-uncle, Samuel VOKES, who was born c.1870 at Temple Cloud, Cameley, Somerset. He was the second son of my 2x great-grandmother, Angel Dore VOKES (nee VEATER formerly PAYNE), and her second husband William VOKES. At the time of the 1871 and 1881 censuses, Samuel was living in Temple Cloud with his family, but by the time of the 1891 census, Samuel had moved away from Temple Cloud and his whereabouts are unknown. I thought he was in the parish of Llangeinor by 1895 as that year the birth of his first child, Edgar William VOKES, was registered in Bridgend, Glamorgan. Years ago, when I wrote up my notes on Samuel VOKES, I noted that a marriage for a Samuel VOKES was registered at Clutton in the March quarter of 1894. It seemed unlikely to me, then, that this was the marriage of my 2x great-uncle as the 1901 Llangeinor census shows that his wife was born in Ebbw Vale, Monmouthshire. However, nowadays, I know that even an unlikely reference may be the one that's needed. Putting "Samuel Vokes""Langeinor" into a Google search brought up Samuel's marriage on 1894 marriage in HIGH LITTLETON MARRIAGES and BANS 1599-1957 & INDEX http://www.highlittletonhistory.org.uk/transcriptions0905/HLMarriages1599to1957&Indx.pdf The marriage record shows that bachelor, Samuel VOKES, was a 24-year-old labourer of Llangeinor Glamorganshire and that his father was William VOKES, labourer. Samuel's bride was spinster, Annie BATT, a 30-year-old domestic servant, whose father was George BATT, deceased, with no occupation given. Witnesses were William John VOKES, whom I know was Samuel's brother, and Elizabeth PAYNE. So, in many cases, the information is out there if only we know where to look. Sometimes just a few words put into a search can lead to all kinds of information not known before. Josephine --

Hi Listers, A BBC article, about a historic building on the Kings Weston Estate, has caught my eye: Hopes for Penpole Lodge restoration http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-19135699 I remembered giving the following link, in a 2007 B & S post, to a captioned old postcard view of Penpole Lodge: http://website.lineone.net/~david_hoey/Page_25 Here's a picture of how Penpole Lodge might look: Penpole Lodge Resurrected http://www.flickr.com/photos/kwag/6238690464/ Josephine --

Hi Mike, Glad you have found them. Best wishes Sue

Some of my ancestors came from Bridgwater, especially the sea-faring Roberts family, who had many trade links with Bristol. I used to have a little bronze or copper metal strip which I picked up in an antiques fair years ago, inscribed with the word Bridgewater together with the name Andrews. I'm sorry I can't lay my hands on it right now to confirm the details, which are from memory. I think it also had a date in the 1790s. I have no idea what its purpose was, but it intrigued me as a -cheap - memento of an ancestral home. I'll see if I can dig it out.

Hi Sue Thanks for looking. However I think I've now found the children. They are listed with the surname BAMBER because their mother was living with a William BAMBER in New Thomas Street, Bristol. I think the children's surnames were recorded incorrectly.
