Graham, This is an intriguing variant on the Lovelock name. Have you actually seen records of it used as a surname? Anyway, I think its worth making a note of it on the Web page concerning the Lovelock name. I think I've found the missing name for the Hungerford - St Lawrence baptism - its Marianne Lovelock. You'll recall that Robert notes this series of Hungerford - St Lawrence baptisms as coming from the IGI. So I checked on the LDS FamilySearch Web site and there it was, along with the other children of James L and Lucy. Here are the details: Marianne LOVELOCK Sex: F Event(s): Christening: 23 Sep 1821 Hungerford, Berkshire, England Parents: Father: James LOVELOCK Mother: Lucy Source Information: Batch number: C018803 Dates: 1813-1832 Source Call No.: 1040521 Type: Film Printout Call No.: 6900125 ----- Regards, James --- Graham Lovelock wrote: > > Good day all > > I have just come across the Anglo-Saxon word luflice and wondered if anyone had ever seen it suggested as a possible origin of LOVELOCK? > > In case you were wondering, it means "lovingly". > > No answer yet I see to my enquiry about the HUNGERFORD ST LAWRENCE BAPTISM on 23 Sep 1821: > > LOVELOCK, Father: James LOVELOCK Mother: Lucy > > I presume nobody has been able to get near the records to find out what this child's Christian name was?
