Thanks Steve Also bear in mind that if the 1998 figures are based on the Electoral Roll not every household registers to vote. I don't know what the current proportion is - it was high during the Poll Tax period in the 1980's.

What they appear to have done is just taken the 1998 electoral roll , and overlooked the fact that children dont have the vote ! Please be reassured - the LOVELOCKS have in fact bred quite well over the last century , and are in no danger of extinction . Nor are they quitting Blighty in larger numbers than Smiths or Joneses Steve Tanner ==== LOVELOCK Mailing List ==== Lovelock family history Web pages: http://perso.numericable.fr/~lovjames/family-history/lovelock/ ============================== Search Family and Local Histories for stories about your family and the areas they lived.
