I'm forwarding this message from Eileen Adkins to the mailing list since the copy she sent didn't seem to have made it. James -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Work in Progress Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2005 14:28:15 +0100 From: Eileen Adkins <[email protected]> To: James Loveluck <[email protected]> CC: [email protected] Some time ago I enquired whether anyone knew of a percy Lovelock who married my great aunt Eliza Hobbs. I now have more information. Percy was born Sep quarter of 1879 in Mile End Old Town. His father was William H Lovelock born about 1829 at Westcott, berks - which I cannot find. his mother's name was Ester born abt 1839 at Ramsbury, Wilts and he had an older brother Charles born about 1876 at Bromley-by-Bow. Percy and Eliza had 2 daughters so he has no Lovelock descendants. His daughter Cecelia I knew as Cissie and she lived in Olney, Bucks after her marriage. Does anyone recognise this branch of the Lovelock family.
