Hi Everyone John Lovelock and myself have for some time been working on trying to establish family connections at the beginning of our Berkshire Lovelock line. I thought I'd share this little exchange with the Lovelock 'list', not only because it's exciting, but because it might hopefully give other Lovelock researchers some ideas on new lines of research that they had perhaps not previously considered. They are certainly new for me, anyway! Best wishes Robert ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- Hi John Still pondering your excellent recent research at Berkshire RO. The Edward Lovelock whose Settlement Certificate you found in the index for 1704 is intriguing. Who was this Edward L? He was presumeably a young man who had left Reading to find work in Newbury, so presumeably aged at least 14 and therefore born 1690 or earlier. The only suitable Edward I could find was in Aldermaston bp 1685 son of John and Hester Lovelock. A possibility I guess. Could he be a brother to John Lovelock who married Elizabeth Woolfe? He did have a brother John. Maybe. The examination certificate for John Lovelock dated 1739 at Reading is certainly very exciting. John and Elizabeth had at least one child before they were married: '1739 Jul 2 John the Base born child of John Lovelock & Elizabeth Woolfe'. The examination may have been a bastardy examination and may well have coincided with their marriage. Otherwise it's a mighty big coincidence. I tried to find out more about such examinations, but haven't found out much of use so far. Usually (at this time) I believe they were conducted by the local JP in an effort to establish who the natural father was. Perhaps he was just giving himself up to justice!? As hoped, he states his birthplace. Since he was hired out to Thomas James abt 1733, he was presumeably of working age and therefore probably at least 14. That would make him born abt 1719 or earlier. The connection to South Stoke is also most interesting, as he presumeably returned there for work in 1743. You say you searched Burghfield and adjoining parishes for his baptism. That's fantastic! We also need to check whether there are any baptism years missing in the parish register. The Burghfield baptisms you found are in the IGI and the burials in the National Burial Index. I assume you have the latest Lovelock in Berkshire file. The wedding you found is new information. Excellent! He may of course have been born in Burghfield but baptised elsewhere. The family you noted in Burghfield may well be John's as indeed his baptism entry could have been lost. I have always assumed John was about 20 when he married Elizabeth Woolfe - but may have been younger - and it may well have been a forced marriage. Let's say 18. That means he was born abt 1721 or earlier. That date fits in rather nicely with the Burghfield family. If the baptism was indeed lost, we need something to establish that his father was indeed Richard. There just might be a written record of his being hired to Thomas James. I assume it wasn't an apprenticeship or this would have been stated. There may be such a record in Burghfield parish records. Parishes were always keen to send elsewhere children of pauper parents - if indeed that is what they were - so they didn't become a burden on the parish. Apprenticeships could be organised when children were as young as seven years! Such children were of course a cheap source of labour as they only had to be clothed and fed. As you say, further research is needed. But this is the very best lead we have found so far. In fact, it's so exciting, would you mind if I shared it with the Lovelock list? This is major breakthrough stuff!! Well done! Very best wishes Robert

Hello Maureen My husband is a descendant of a Martha Lovelock (but not yours, though on your line). We had a grandmother come to New Zealand during WW1 and settle in Auckland. Are you in New Zealand? Re your Thomas. Have you had a look at the census for 1871? That's where I'd try first. Do Wiltshire first and then surrounding counties if he's not there. (I guess you've tried the IGI and birth registration.) I also would like to thank Graham. Thanks a bunch, Graham. Kind regards.

Thanks Graham I have made further enquiries regarding Avington. Major Hanbury informed me that he has visited the church at Avington ( St Mary's ) and recalls seeing Lovelock graves. The Berkshire Record Office advise me that the church is in the United Benifice of Kintbury with Avington. They have the Parish Registers on Microfiche from 1725 - 1960. The records have been transcribed up to the 1830's but there is no Index. The BRO have given me the name of the local Minister and I have written to Lady Howard-Dewalden at Avington Manor to see if she has any knowledge of Francis Lovelock. The Hungerford Historical Association are also checking their records for me. As soon as I have any more information I will let you know. Major Hanbury has invited me to visit Lovelocks House in June.

Hello Allen, Many thanks for the 1901 census info. This is indeed the Pentydla/Pentitla Thomas Loveluck (b 1837, Margam, d 1917 Llangynwyd), son of William Loveluck (1812-1890). Thomas had many more children than those listed, but most of them must have left home or died. So Allen, what's your secret for obtaining data from the 1901 census? Does the Swansea PRO have microfiche copies? Thanks again and best wishes, James In rainy Grenoble - what's the world coming to if the weather's better in Aberavon than in Grenoble?

Hello all! I've made the following additions to the Lovelock Web pages: o Added additional census records provided by John Lovelock, compiled by Robert Sterry: - Lovelock extracts for Berkshire from the 1871 census and from the 1891 census. - Lovelock extracts for Oxfordshire from the 1871 census and from the 1891 census. o Updated the Lovelocks from Hampshire with the version provided by Robert Sterry 10-Mar-02. This version includes additional records provided by Michael and Alison Turner for the parishes of Crondall, Dogmersfield, Hartley Witney and Winchfield. Regrads, James PS Apologies to all those to whom I owe email replies. Life has been a bit hectic recently, but I will try to get round to replying "real soon now"!

Hi Graham I visited the Berkshire Record Office yesterday and searched for Edward Lovelock's Will dated 1780. BRO do not have a copy. Where did you see it? Do you have a copy you can send me? I also looked for an entry in Hungerford St Lawrence for Francis Lovelock's Burial. He was Baptised there on 9 April 1751 but no record of the Burial. Do you know where the Burial took place? This afternoon I telephoned Lovelocks House and spoke to Major Hanbury's PA to arrange a visit and was advised that Francis Lovelock's entry in Pigotts 1830 probably refers to Avington not Evington. Apparently Avington is a Manor House East of Hungerford south of the A4. It would appear that there is a carved family crest at the top of the staircase at Lovelocks which I hope to photograph shortly.

Many thanks to Gwen and Robert for this very interesting contribution to the Cardiff Lovelock/luck line! Lyneham is actually quite close to Marlborough (about 12-15 miles?) so the Lyneham connection is not inconsistent with Arthur's information from his father. One interesting point is that although it seems that Arthur signs himself LovelOck, it seems that his cousin Clifford used the LovelUck form. Is this an example of the Welsh pronunciation changing the spelling, as Janet Hearle claimed happened for "my" Loveluck branch?

An email just in from Gwen Eastment nee Lovelock. Copy of an old letter. Since many of you know Gwen and all her wonderful Lovelock research over the past 30 years, I thought I'd forward to the Lovelock list. Email is very new to Gwen and at 91 she's not doing too bad! Thanks Gwen! Best wishes to all Robert COPY OF A LETTER FROM ARTHUR LOVELOCK OF 19 HEOL BEDR - PETERSTON, S. ELY CARDIFF CF 56LP, GLAMORGAN, WALES, GREAT BRITAIN TO MRS EASTMENT - 14TH FEBRUARY 1989 "Firstly, I'll introduce myself. I'm Arthur Lovelock, son of Stephen Lovelock - son of Thomas George Lovelock. My age is 82, in June 1989 (born 1907). I was surprised and pleased to receive your letter and will endeavour to reply - so please forgive any mistakes. I note in your record you have possibly found my great grandfatber and that is George Lovelock - born 1802, Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, because my father's father, Thomas George Lovelock could possibly be, as father said, he was a Wiltshire man from the Marlborough area, which includes Great Bedwyn. My father's father died 3rd December 1904, age 73 (two and a half years before I was born, and is buried in the chapel graveyard here (see above). So he must have been born 1831 and therefore the son possibly of the George Loveluck you mention in your records. When I was a youth, father, who died on 1st March 1962, in his 91st year, often spoke of his parents and I can always remember saying about his father being a Wiltshire man, coming to Wales as a young man for work, and eventually married a Welsh woman from Llantoct Major and lived in Peterston South Ely - my home - and had 5 children - four boys and one girl. All lived in Wales, but naturally all deceased now. I was born 12 June 1907 - youngest of 4 brothers and one sister (she was eldest of the family and will be 90 in May 1989). The three brothers are now deceased. I have been a widower since 23rd January 1976, when my dear wife died rather suddenly, and I have lived on my own since. One of my father's brothers, Uncle John, had a large family of 5 boys and 6 girls and during the great war 1914-1918 war, one of his sons was a sailor in the Royal Navy (for 15 years he signed on). After the war apparently during his travels, he met a girl and he deserted ship to marry. (I am completing the story.) I spent most of my working days in Wiltshire in Westbury on the railway, as a passenger guard on the trains and found the Lovelock name more common there than Wales. On occasions when travelling from Westbury to London we called at Bedwyn Station. In the 1950s one of the station staff was named Lovelock, and we could be related. (He asked me.) I told him quite possible, although I was born in Wales. Also my father and grandfather were born in the Marlborough area of Wiltshire which is near Great Bedwyn. Also during my travels by rail, I found the name Lovelock on farmers' milk churns we used to convey by rail. I don't think I can give you any more details of any interest and I trust you will be able to understand my writing without much difficulty. With kind regards Yours very sincerely ARTHUR LOVELOCK" With help from Janet Hearle we produced a picture on paper - plus all her work with Cousin Clifford Loveluck (not all the above Lovelocks used 'u' Loveluck. Unfortunately Arthur Lovelock died 6 April 1989. A letter came from Cardiff. Janet's talking with Clifford Loveluck. I have this story committed to paper for easy reading/history place.

You will recall our recent exchanges concerning Charlotte from (apparently) Maidenhead - an enquiry started by Wm (Jack) Charles. Some contacts who are not electronically connected to us, hearing that she claimed Maidenhead as her place of birth, recognise her in fact as one of the Lovelocks from Bray. Bray is a small village just outside Maidenhead, and these days an extremely exclusive place to live. Rather than 1819, (based on a claim of being 62 in 1881) Charlotte's date of birth (possibly baptism, but it is unlike my contacts not to be specific)in fact seems to be 15 December 1815. I have no further information on the parents, although we know the father was William. Our Website data with respect to Bray is only that included in the IGI and there is nothing after 1800 as you know. More data awaiting our collection there, obviously. Apparently "some" of the Bray Lovelocks went up to London in the early 1800s, so Charlotte and her parents may not have been alone. Will keep you posted with any developments I hear of.

Hello again, I've added to the Web pages some 1841 Lovelock census extracts for Oxforshire and Bekshire. These were provided by John Lovelock, and compiled by Robert Sterry. You'll find links to the records on the following pages: Sources -> Oxfordshire Sources -> Berkshire and as usual there are links on the "What's New" page. Many thanks to John and Robert! James
