Apols if you already have this one : James lovelock, convict, aged 41, of "Wiltshire" transported to New South Wales in 1835 (Australian convicts index, the only lovelock on it) Steve Tanner

Well! Well! Well! Another piece of The Lieflock Line jigsaw falls into place, I think. (Welcome news or not, James?) I believe this Charles Frederick was baptised at East Grafton on 29 Sep 1878, the son of Mary Lovelock (of West Grafton). His birth was registered in the Jul-Sep quarter of 1878 in the Hungerford RD. In the 1881 Census he was at West Grafton Lane Cottages, Great Bedwyn, with his mother Mary, and grandmother Charlotte Champion. Charlotte was of course the daughter of Thomas L and Sarah Dudman. Mary was Charlotte's illegitimate daughter. Charles Frederick is thus my second cousin, once removed. Charles Frederick had a sister, also illegitimate, baptised as Eveline Louisa at East Grafton on 5 Jun 1881. She was buried at East Grafton, but entered in the Register as Emily Louisa, on 7 September 1884. Apart from that I knew nothing, so thank you for the information, John, and of course thanks to Heather Taylor. Would she happen to know when Charles Frederick arrived in SA do you think? James - the only bits of the above currently in The Lieflock Line relate to Charlotte and to Mary's baptism (at the bottom of Page 10).

I looked at all the death notices country-wide, and only found 2 Lovelocks. Interestingly, some Loverocks, which I have never heard of. Charles Frederick b. Wiltshire in 1879. Died 1940 in Newcastle. Survived by wife Kate, who died in 1948. Children were Ronald Charles b. 1920 and Stanley Frederick in 1921. Kate And CF were married in London. The info might be of use to one of your contacts. I was hopeful when I saw the similarity of names, but alas. The death notices only go up to 1970, so maybe your Fred died later than tha if you saw him in 64. I did look at the LDS searching SA page. They suggest the Gen Soc of SA, Conrad Mercer's surname page and Heather MCAllister's home page, All can be found at Rootsweb, but no online facility at LDS. Also the Pretoria Archives are meant to be good, but I have never been there, as it is a bit far. Sorry I could not help more. Regards Heather Fred was born in Henley-on-Thames Oxfordshire in 1899. His father was William George Lovelock. I believe that Audrey, Bernard and Theresa were born in London.

Hello all, Robert sent me another file with Kent Lovelock records by parish, so I've added this to the Kent page which I announced in my previous message. Thanks again Robert! James

Hello all, I've made some more updates to the Web pages, with contributions from Jeremy Lovelock and Robert Sterry: - I've added a "Kent Lovelocks" page in the sources section. At the moment this just has some extracts from the 1851 census provided by Robert. Here's what Robert said about these records in his email: "The indexing of the 1851 for Kent does not appear to be anywhere as advanced as London, Middlesex and Surrey. However, what I could access in the way of indexes at SAG is included." (SAG is Society of Australian Genealogists) - I've added a page for photographs of interest in connection with Lovelock family history. This is in the first section "Lovelock Genealogy" At the moment it contains just one link to a page of photos of places of interest in Wiltshire, which was provided by Jeremy Lovelock 20-Mar-04 I've also linked this page to the "Lovelok Gathering" page, since the places are all quite close to Hungerford, where the gathering will take place. There are also links to both pages on the "What's New" page. Many thanks to Jeremy and Robert for these contributions! James

Hello all, Someone on the "moonrakers" mailing list pointed out this interesting Web site of Old Bailey proceedings from 1674 to 1834: http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/search/name/ I tried the name search with Lovelock and there were 10 results - for three of them the Lovelock was a witness rather than the accused. Three of them concern the trial of poor Mary Lovelock who got sentenced to death for nicking 8 quids worth of clothes - the courts were pretty harsh in those days! Maybe we should start a "Lovelock Criminal Records" page. James

Hello all, I've added a new Web page for Buckinghamshire to the collection of "Sources". At the moment this just contains a collection of parish records and Bucks Lovelocks from the 1901 census. Many thanks to Robert Sterry and John Lovelock for the Bucks parish records! I also decided to put the county names in alphabetical order for this "Sources" section - they were previoulsy just in the order in which they'd been added! Regards, James

Hello list, may be of interest. Near Bridgend, Glamorganshire. 15th.May.1841.Tithe appointment and map Coychurch Lower. Edward Loveluck was the tenant of two parcels of land, owned by two different landowners, these two parcels were adjacent to each other except for one field no.1 which was isolated. The smaller parcel was owned by the Earl of Dunraven and consisted of four fields in total of just over seven acres of land on which he paid an annual Tithe of £1-1-0d. The second parcel was owned by Richard Hoare Jenkins Esq. and was made up of fourteen fields with a total acreage of thiry four acres at an annual Tithe of £5-17-1d. this parcel included a house with a garden and yard with barn. So this is obviously the family dwelling place at this time. On studying the above map and appointment, and comparing it with the 1st edition 1875 map of the same area, I have the following notes to add. The area that we are interested in is just under half a mileup the A473. from Waterton Cross towards Pencoed. At this point we start with the only building named on both maps as Watertown Hall, along the road here covering the next 100 yards are five homesteads marked out. The buildings occupied by our Edward are numbers three and four along which stand opposite each other on the road.The one standing on the same side as Watertown Hall backs with its garden onto the river Ewenny.The other directly opposite seems to be the main residence with Edward holding the eight fields behind it. The next building up the road also backing onto the river, is the other building that is named as Watertown Miill [ corn ]. The next time that I am near the location I shall of course investigate. Another possible source to follow up are the Estate maps of Llanharan and Pantynawel Estate of the Jenkins family C.1840 Richard Hoare Jenkins Esq.[ surveyor unknown ]. These are held at Cardiff Records Office GRO. D/D. Bj. E/1. Not far away also in Lower Coychurch at this time was living William Gubbins who was renting three large fields of twentyfive acres and also living in an cottage with garden and barn which he himself owned. We of course know that William Gubbins was married to Edward Loveluck`s sister Anne. But more research is required to determine if this is him. Best Regards.

All hands to the pumps! Does anybody know anything about Mildred Sarah Kate Lovelock ? She was born in Hungerford (possibly the town, but possibly the Registration District) in the April-June quarter of 1912. She possibly married an Arthur Sawyer at Middleton Stoney (some 12 miles or so north of Oxford) in 1933. She died in 1983. ANY additional information gratefully received. Graham

I am delighted to inform Listers that we have now reached 52 bookings with delegates coming from Australia, USA, France and all over England and Wales. Our big event is just over 4 months away and we have received good publicity in UK Family History Magazines and Society Journals. The event is also mentioned on the Berkshire Family History Society Website. We have also received good coverage in Local Newspapers and several readers who are unable to attend have contacted us with details of their family history. One encouraging trend is the interest in attending the event being shown by local people who to date have not carried out any research into their family history. For their benefit I will begin the event by giving a short talk on " From Wills to Websites - a Brief Introduction to Family History". Family Historians tend to use lots of acronyms so this will hopefully enable them to understand some of the terms used during the day in formal and informal discussions. Graham Lovelock has also kindly offered to present a talk on "Wiltshire Lovelocks and the Lieflock Line". More news in March.

Hello and a very happy New Year to all! I've made a few updates and additions to the Web pages, all provided by Robert Sterry in the last couple of weeks: * 4-Jan-04: Added the following census records: o Lovelock extracts for London and Middlesex from the 1841 census <http://perso.numericable.fr/%7Elovjames/family-history/lovelock/documents/1841-london-and-midx.html>, compiled by Robert Sterry, 28-Dec-03 o Lovelock extracts for London and Middlesex from the 1851 census <http://perso.numericable.fr/%7Elovjames/family-history/lovelock/documents/1851-london-and-midx.html>, compiled by Robert Sterry, 28-Dec-03 * 4-Jan-04: Updated the file Lovelocks in Hampshire by Parish <http://perso.numericable.fr/%7Elovjames/family-history/lovelock/lovelocks-in-hants.htm> to the latest version provided by Robert Sterry 21-Dec-03. Update includes additional records for Basing, Bishopstoke and Monk Sherborne Because the census records concern Middlesex and the City of London I've linked them to both the London and Middlesex pages. From Robert's notes: As noted at the head of the file, the 1841 records were extracted from the Censearch Index for Middlesex. Censearch, an Australian Company based in Perth, Western Australia, has ceased to operate. It is not known what specific Registration Districts these entries relate to or even what portion of the districts in London and Middlesex are covered by the Index. For the 1851 census records, Robert extracted all Lovelocks from the 1851 surname indexes produced by the local London and Middlesex FHSs insofar as the Society of Australian Genealogists (SAG) had acquired these on fiche. Thanks a lot to Robert for these additions! Regards, James

I have three resaons for my interest in this name. (a). The first came about from doing research into my Cooper ancestors. I had been looking for possible ancestors for the Richard Cooper who married Judith Buxey at St. Mary on 14 Mary 1786 and thereby became my 5xgreat grandparents. Whilst there were Coopers in Kingclere back to the 1650s I could find no baptism for a Richard among these families but I did find a suitable Richard baptised in Woodcot on 14 Oct 1748. Tracing back in Woodcot registers the similarity between the names I found there and the Kingsclere Coopers lead me to believe they were the same family. And there were a couple of Woodcot Coopers marrying into a Kingsclere family Eventually a descendant of the Woodcot Coopers moved to Thatcham were he married and started having a family in Goose Hill, Woodlands, One of these children Alresford (or Olsford) was married on 15 October 1910, St. Paul, Woodlands, to Beatrice Eugenia Lovelock ca 1882 (witnesses: Arthur Cooper ca 1881, Lilian Kate Johnson). This couple lived at Headly originally in the Old Chapel then moved to a house at Mill Green, Common Road, Headly, their children married and mostly moved away from the area. Beatrice Eugenia was born in Woodlands and her ancestors were all Kingsclere or Hannington born. The earliest found so far being Francis Lovelock born about 1720 who married Ann Payne at St. Mary on 8 May 1743. Despite the very intensive information on the Lovelock Family website I have not yet found his place of birth or parents. (b). The second reason for my interest came about from reading Kingsclere Woodlands Story. KWS says Tom Lovelock occupied Scarlett's Farm for some time and later moved to Fairview where he lived until his death in 1942, he left the house to Margaret Ingram's mother (date of death in KWS must be wrong as he was buried in 1936) Plastow Green Village Hall was a gift to the community from Mr Lovelock. It was only when I started looking into the Lovelock family I realised the connection between the Lovelocks and the Fosters (Margaret's maiden name) Tom had married on 24 January 1874, St. Paul, Woodlands, Eliza Foster ca 1857-1921 and as a result became Margarets gt-grandparents. The only child I know about (once again they were Methodists so there may be others not recorded in the CofE registers) was Martha Ann Lovelock who married George Hill in June Qtr. 1898, in Newbury RD. The only one of their children I can be certain of is Lilian Elsie Hill who married Arthur Gordon Foster about 1900. Arthur's father was a cousin of Eliza (wife of Tom Lovelock) and a fourth cousin of my Grandfather. (c). The third reason for my interest in the Lovelock name is that I can trace my descent from a Martin Lovelock who with his wife Anne baptised 2 children in Swallowfield All Saints in 1696 and 1699, The eldest of these, Elizabeth was married on 18 October 1716, All Saints, Swallowfield, to Jonathon Lewington. a 2xgt-grandaughter Martha Lewington was married on 17 October 1835, Heckfield, to Charles Neville and their eldest daughter Eliza married Charles Barker on 14 September 1872 at Mattingley. Emma Rose Barker, their second daughter was to become my grandmother. Francis Cooper was her second husband and after Frank was killed on the Somme in July 1916 she married again and her third husband John Hart has links to another branch of the Lovelock family through his first marriage to Agnes Jane Occomore, A cousin of Agnes Jane has a direct link to Kingsclere with an illegitimate daughter being born in Union House and baptised at St. Mary What a tangled web our ancestors wove for us to un-tangle ;) My next family will be the Hills (see George Hill above), who came to Kingsclere from Wiltshire sometime in the late 1800s. -- John Lewis <jayellatntlworlddotcom> from Bournemouth, Dorset, UK. using Debian GNU/Linux and GeneWeb genealogy software

Hello all Lovelocks and Lovelucks and a happy new year. Posting following mainly for people interested in Welsh Lovelucks but may be of interest to others. Surname sometimes refered too as Esturmies and variant form of Sturmy, but almost certainly a member of the Wiltshire family of Esturmy,who traced their origin to a Richard Esturmy who faught for William the Conquerer at Hastings.This family acquired lands at Burgage and elsewhere in Wiltshire and was also the Royal Warden for the Forest of Savernake. Our Geoffrey`s personal seal which depicts a man holding a spear and blowing a horn. Stormy Down, near Pyle, Glamorganshire. The placename Stormy I always thought was compiled from its exposed position and being lashed by winter gales which hurl themselves upon it from the channel, but it seems that this name is actually a tribute to the family which pioneered the Norman settlement there prior to 1154. It was then that Archbishop Theobald of Canterbury was called upon to settle a dispute between the parish churches of Kenfig and Newcastle concerning the tithes due from Geoffrey Esturmi. His finding was in favour of the older church of Newcastle, Kenfig church only having come into being since 1147. A letter by William the Rural Dean of Grogneath written about the year 1170 shows that Geoffrey himself was the first person to settle there , building a church, "in his vill in the wilderness, on his land whereon no one had hitherto ploughed". At this said church Geoffrey Sturmi insalled a priest called Thomas who served there all his life, and during his days the dead were buried and children christened there. The only surviving link with this church is a font believed to have come from there which was later used as a n animal feeding trough, the historian Mr. Thomas Gray found it and since placed at Margam Abbey Church for safe keeping. Surname sometimes refered too as Esturmies and variant form of Sturmy, but almost certainly a member of the Wiltshire family of Esturmy,who traced their origin to a Richard Esturmy who faught for William the Conquerer at Hastings.This family acquired lands at Burgage and elsewhere in Wiltshire and was also the Royal Warden for the Forest of Savernake. Our Geoffrey`s personal seal also depicts a man holding a spear and blowing a horn. Agnes the only known daughter of Geoffrey married Gilbert Burdin, an ancestor of the family which give its name to Burdin`s Grove Farm. [ Grove Farm ]. Agnes was given dower land there on her marriage, but for some reason it was exchanged by Geoffrey for other of his lands. Margam Abbey Grants show that Roger was the last of the family with land. He must have been in some trouble for he made gifts of his and his fathers lands to the monks, for next to nothing, before he departed the district. The above Roger born abt 1180 married Cunnilda and one of their children Alice married Griffith Began and had two sons John and Rhys. Grants show that by 1179 the Sturmi family was no longer resident in the area, but still retained an interest there for another fifty years.. Best Regards Allen in Aberavon

I'm pleased that the post-Xmas Web update stimulated Robert to dig a little further into this fragment! I should have mentioned that when Graham sent the fragment he included the following note concerning Kathleen Pearson's conjecture about the parents of James L: "Kath is the one who has pointed out the glaring error in the Marlborough data we have: the Marlborough Fragment 4 has descendants of James L bap 1816, but we have the burial entry for that James when he was but 5 weeks old! Kath believes "her" James may have been the son of James L and Ann Angel, for whom we have the marriage and two baptisms, but has not found an entry to substantiate that." The "Marlborough Fragment 4" that Graham refers to is in the collection of "Fragments by Parish" at the bottom of the page on "Wiltshire Family Trees & Fragments" (-> Trees and Fragments -> Wilts Trees & Fragments). Robert and I produced these fragments quite a long time ago and they have never been updated in the light of more recent data, so they should be treated with caution!

Hello, And a belated Happy Christmas to all! I've added a new fragment to the Collected Lovelock fragments. This is Fragment 19 and was provided by Graham Lovelock following exchanges with Kathleen Pearson (Née Lovelock). It is particularly interesting because it links Marlborough (Wilts), Reading (Berks) and Surrey. There's a direct link to the new fragment on the What's New page, and it is alos accessible from Trees and Fragments -> Collected Fragments -> Lovelock fragments I've also added some more notes to the "table of contents" for the collected fragments in an attempt to characterise each fragment. In doing this I noticed that fragments 9 and 11 overlap significantly and should be merged. However, I checked the last few children of Stephen and Elisabeth in fragment 9, since they don't appear in fragment 11, and found most of these in the IGI with parents Henry Lovelock and Eleanor. I've left them as is for the moment, but they should be merged eventually. Regards, James

I decided to have a look at FreeBMD this morning to see if there were any MARTIN Lovelock entries and found two marriages and a death that I hadn't seen on the Lovelock website. It isn't possible to be sure who the brides were with out more checking but the marriages took place in St. Mary Newington & Guildford. There were quite a number of Lovelock entries for both Reg Dists and also for Camberwell where the death was registered. Out of curiosity I requested all events in all district for Lovelock and Loveluck and found that currently there are over 9000 entries. I have copied and pasted these into 4 rich text formatted files, one each for Lovelock Births, Deaths and Marriages and one for all Loveluck. Currently they only cover 1937 to 1907 but if anyone would like a copy of these I could put them up on my webspace from whence they could be copied. I have done nothing in the way of tidying these up so far, you just get the data as copied and pasted John Lewis
