Hi all, I was recently looking at the Wootton Rivers Tree 2, and noticed that it lists Mary LOVELOCK (MARTIN) baptised 31.12.1738 (daughter of John LOVLOCK and Ann MARTIN) as also being buried on the same day? I was under the impression that this Mary in fact went on to marry John GODDARD on 07.08.1760 in Wootton Rivers. Records have been checked for me and there is no burial detail listed for a Mary LOVELOCK (MARTIN) on 31.12.1738, so I thought I would report this as a possible error on the database? Regards Simone.

Hello Simone, and welcome to the Lovelock mailing list! This is very puzzling, since the birth and burial records for Mary Lovelock are quite explicit that she was the daughter of John Lovelock and Ann Martin. The only explanation I can think of is that the baptism of Mary Lovelock got transcribed twice, once accidentally under burials. I believe Robert Sterry extracted the events from the Wootton Rivers parish register, so perhaps he can check against his original notes. Was Mary recorded with the name Lovelock or Martin when she married John Goddard 7 Aug 1760? We don't have a marriage for Mary Lovelock and John Goddard at Wootton Rivers.

Greetings Simone Great to see you posting to the list. As a matter of fact, I think you have indeed found an error in the Wootton Rivers Tree 2. I have checked my original extractions from the parish register for Wootton Rivers and you are quite correct - there is no burial at Wootton Rivers for a Mary Lovelock in 1738. Thank you very much for checking and letting us know. Best wishes with your research. Hopefully we'll see many more of your posts to the list.
