Hello all, I have updated the database for the Wallingford Berks Line (previously known as the Reading and Oxfordshire Line) on the PhpGedVew site: http://james.loveluck.free.fr/ to use the latest version of 21-Jun-05. See the entry under 21-Jun-05 of the "What's New" file for details: http://perso.numericable.fr/~lovjames/family-history/lovelock/new.html Click on "Wallingford Berks Line" in the drop-down menu under "Welcome Page" (tp left hand corner).

Hello all, Alison Vickery sent me a pointer to the following Web page: http://freespace.virgin.net/ar.indexes/PuttPLSRO.htm which includes the following text: 1833 Removal Order for George LOVELOCK and Hannah his wife from Puttenham to their parish of Settlement – Degmersfield. (Degmersfield should presumably be Dogmersfield) I don't believe there's a Puttenham in Hants, but in our "Lovelocks in Surrey" file I found a marriage record as follows: *Puttenham Marriages 1696-1812 *(Modern Transcript) 1833 Feb 17 George Lovelock, wid. & Hannah Marshall, widow There is a burial record at Dogmersfield for a Hannah Lovelock on 23 Sep 1838, which could very well be the Hannah in question. Does anyone have any connection with this family, which doesn't seem to fit in with our current Hants lines? Also, any background about "Removal Orders" would be interesting. What awful crime had been commited to warrant being removed from Surrey to darkest Hants? James

Hello all, I've added an entry to the "Famous Lovelocks <http://perso.numericable.fr/%7Elovjames/family-history/lovelock/famous.htm>" page for William Lovelock (1899-1986) who had a distinguished career in music, and is included on the Wallingford Berks Line <http://perso.numericable.fr/%7Elovjames/family-history/lovelock/fragments/berks-line.htm>. Thanks to Graham Lovelock, Robert Sterry and John Lovelock for proposing this entry. Regards, James

Hello all, I have updated what was called the Reading and Oxfordshire Lovelocks Line, and has now been re-baptised The Wallingford Berks Line. This update corresponds to the latest gedcom file for this line, provided by Robert Sterry. An important change is that described by Robert in a message to the mailing list 26-Mar-05: "Based on the research of Gwen Eastment and Janet Hearle many years ago, this line was believed to have descended from a John Lovelock and an Elizabeth Woolfe who were married and baptised children in Reading, Berkshire. However, after some recent careful re-examination of the evidence, John [Lovelock] and I now believe this connection is incorrect. ... John and I (and I expect several others of you out there) now agree that this line descends from John Lovelock and Mary Whitwick who married at Wallingford St Leonards in 1779. From the Wallingford MIs we know that this John was aged 77 when he died in 1817, so he was born abt 1740. His wife Mary Whitwick was born abt 1754 - 14 years his junior. John was 39 when he married Mary, so quite likely that this was in fact a second marriage. We have never found John or Mary's baptism." The update also includes a large number of further additions and corrections. In addition to Robert Sterry and John Lovelock, contributors to this update include Graham Lovelock and Shirley Hart. Full details of the files affected by the changes, are inlcuded on the "What's New" page on the Web site: http://perso.numericable.fr/~lovjames/family-history/lovelock/new.html Many thanks to all those who contributed to this update. James

Hello all, Following a suggestion by John Gough, I've added to the "Useful Information" page a link to British History Online <http://www.british-history.ac.uk/>, a very interesting digital collection of historical documents. Among other things the material includes three volumes of "A History of Wiltshire". A search for "Lovelock" yields only 8 results, all in London/Middlesex. I was pleased to learn that one of my favourite London pubs (the Holly Bush in Hampstead) has a Lovelock connection! In 1807 the trustees of the Hampstead assembly rooms granted a lease on a cottage and stables to Thomas Lovelock, who put up a new building which became the Holly Bush Tavern. Regards, James

Hello all, I've now updated the PhpGedView Web site to use the latest version of the Lovelock database. May I remind you that the address is: http://james.loveluck.free.fr/ Click on "Lieflock Line" under the "Welcome" icon at the top left hand corner of the page. The database includes only the Lieflock Line since the full database is too big for my (free) account parameters. It should be possible to add files for other trees if there is interest in my doing so. I have also updated the indexes for the PicoSearch and HouseSpider search tools on the main Lovelock Web site. One interesting point I noticed is that the PicoSearch tool doesn't always find individuals appearing in the Trees & Fragments. The reason for this is that the lines in the descendant trees are of the form n-Joe Lovelock bap ..... where n is the generation index. Apparently PicoSearch takes "n-Joe" as a token to add to the index, rather than "Joe". HouseSpider does not do this, so it will find names in the Trees. I was thinking about getting rid of the HouseSpider tool, since PicoSearch is much faster. However, given the above feature I've decided to give it a reprieve. James

Could I please be unsubscribed? Thanks and lots of luck with your family trees! Melanie

Hello all, The Lovelock Web site has been updated with new and updated material. Full details of the changes can be found on the "What's New <http://perso.numericable.fr/%7Elovjames/family-history/lovelock/new.html>" page, which also includes acknowledgments of who contributed what. Here is a brief summary of the changes: Additions and/or changes have been made to the following trees: The Lieflock Line, the Wootton Rivers Tree, the Ramsbury Tree, the Wroughton/Tidcombe Tree, the Shrewton Tree and the Ropley, Crondall, Dogmersfield Tree. The tables on the "Trees & Fragments" pages have been updated to reflect the modified trees ("Overview", "Wilts Trees" and "Hants Trees"). The gedcom files for "Wiltshire and beyond" and "Ropley, Crondall and Dogmersfield" have been updated to include the new material. There were minor changes to the "Lovelocks in Berkshire" and "Lovelocks in Glamorgan" files. Some monumental inscriptions for a number of Wiltshire parishes have been added. And finally there is a new page for Lovelock records for North America, which currently includes Lovelock extracts from the 1880 USA Census and from the 1881 Canadian Census. Many thanks to all who contributed new material and/or corrections, including: Alison & Mike Turner, Daphne King, Colin Borrott-Maloney, Graham Lovelock, Denis Rawlinson, Nigel Gerdes, Alison Vickery, Andrew Wherrett, Ann Packer, Elizabeth Price, Christine Stinson, Jill Fleming, Robert Sterry, Peter B. Lovelock and Robin Lovelock (sincere apologies if I left anyone out!) I haven't yet updated the Picosearch and HouseSpider indexes, so the search tools may not find new material. Enjoy! James

Hello, Graham, and all the Lovelock researchers who may have been equally intrigued by the mixture of Dorothys and Mortimers. However, there is no intrigue, but plenty of scope for confusion, as there were 3 Dorothys: 1. dorothy, daughter of Jesse Lovelock, born presumably some time after 1901, as she doesn't appear with the family in that record. As far as I know she never lived in Lyneham, though her father was born there. I only know about her through a conversation with my late father-in-law, who said that "she married a chap called Mortimer". Given that he knew very little about his Lovelock ancestry, it wouldn't surprise me if this was incorrect, or if Mortimer was a first name rather than a surname. (You can imagine how amazed my father-in-law was when I was later able to tell him about all the Lovelocks in Lyneham to whom he was related!) 2. Dorothy Emily, daughter of Frederick Mortimer (according to the PR entry for the marriage to charlie Lovelock), born 1903-4 (she was 20 when she married). The only reason I know the names of her children is through a conversation with Peggy Scott (nee Telling), one of her nieces. 3. Dorothy Emily, daughter of Tom and Emily Lovelock and hence Charlie's sister, born 21 November 1900, who married Alfred Hnery Hemmings in 1927. So there you go - pure coincidence, just 3 different Dorothys living in roughly the same place at the same time!

Is that really what happened, or have I missed a simpler explanation?

Hello all, I just came across the following interesting Web site with photos of churches and gravestones, many of them in Wiltshire: http://www.oodwooc.co.uk/Church_photos.htm The Memorial Inscriptions (MIs) are indexed and can be searched by name - there are about 30 Lovelock references. We already have the transcripts for those from Great Bedwyn and Wootton Rivers (thanks to John Lovelock and Robert Sterry) and the one for Lyneham (provided by Sue Lovelock) together with photographs of some of the gravestones (provided by Jeremy Lovelock and John Lovelock) but there are quite a few of the MIs for which we did not previously have transcripts, so I shall probably add them to the Web pages when I find the time.

Hello all, Those of you who have downloaded the gedcom files on the Web site and loaded them into a genealogy software program will realise that there is a lot more information in them than that contained in the outline descendant trees which we have built up on the Web site. However, not everyone uses a genealogy program, and I've tried to make some of the additional information available on the Web site using the Ahn Java Applet, which provides both textual and graphical views of the data. Fairly recently I became aware of another software package called PhpGedView which allows one to browse the information in a gedcom file via a Web browser, and in my opinion PhpGedView has a number of advantages over the Ahn Java Applet. For example: a richer variety of graphical deiplay modes, which can include more information than Ahn; the possibility of preparing these charts as Acrobat files for printing; much more flexibility in navigating the data; the possibility of including images associated with individuals. Last but not least, PhpGedView allows material on the site to be edited and for new material to be added to the Web site by authorised users. I think the latter feature could be very interesting given our collaborative method of researching Lovelock family history - I am very conscious of the fact that I am sometimes a bottleneck in the process of sharing information! One problem with PhpGedView is that it requires support on the Web site for a scripting language called PHP, and many ISPs do not provide this support, including Numericable, my own ISP and broadband provider. In order to experiment with the program I acquired some (free!) disk space on a Web server with the French company free.fr This is not an ideal solution because the server seems to be often overloaded and connections get refused (I suppose one gets what one pays for!) However, it does give us the possibility of evaluating the technology and if people feel that it really is interesting perhaps I'll find a more adequate way of hosting the sofware and data. So you can play with the experimental setup at the following address: http://james.loveluck.free.fr/ I have uploaded three gedcom files to the site: - Extended Lieflock Line (all individuals linked to the Lieflock Line, not just the direct descendants) - The Glamorgan Lovelucks - The Reading and Oxfordshire Lovelock Line (previously known as The Berkshire Line) You can choose the tree you want to browse from a pop-up menu under the "Welcome Page" icon; the Extended Lieflock Line is the current default. I haven't yet attempted to exploit all the features of PhpGedView, and in particular the inclusion of images, so you might want to visit a couple of related sites which have done a very good job of using these features: (1) Chris Knight's Web site, now listed on the "Useful Links" page of the Lovelock Web site: http://www.chrisknight.info/phpGedView/ this includes the Nevada Lovelocks and much of the Lyneham Line. (2) Ron Davies Web site. Ron is one of my Glamorgan LovelUck collaborators and there is quite a lot of Loveluck data on his Web site, which also uses images very nicely: http://clan-davies.org/phpGedView/ Please let me have your feedback about this tool for sharing our Lovelock family history data.
