One thing that intrigues me is that Sue has extended our knowledge of a Lovelock presence in London and Surrey back into the 17th century. Despite the 13th C. Huntingdon 'Lovelocker', I'd assumed the family was primarily of Wiltshire origin (a forester in Savernake is attested in the 15th C.). Now I'm left wondering whether the Hampshire Lovelocks are the middle link of the family moving west instead of east. Any comments?

Greetings Yann. There was indeed quite a Lovelock presence in London, Middlesex and Surrey well before 1700. Here's a few samples for the list's consideration. However, that's not to say that these didn't also drift in from Wiltshire, Hampshire and Berkshire.

Here are some more 'tantalising thoughts', Robert and others. Anne Percy might have some connection with an unreprieved criminal. (In fact he died in a fire fight resisting arrest.) This was Thomas Percy, a poor relation of the Earl of Northumberland's family (not Duke; sorry, that was a later creation). This Thomas was one of the Catholics involved in the Gunpowder Plot, a man of tempetuous nature. He abandoned his first wife Martha (née Wright, a sister of two other plotters) 'mean and poor' in Holborn, with a son (Robert) and two daughters. There's an outside possibility, I suppose, that it was his g-g'daughter that Richard Lovelock married in Southwark in 1690. There's a much more nebulous link to the Percy family too. The last direct female relative of the Earls married into the Seymour family at much the same time as Richard married Anne (1682). It was her g'daughter that Sir Hugh Smithson married in 1740 before changing his name to Percy, inheriting the family property and being created Duke in 1766. And Wm Lovelock was forester to the Seymours 3 centuries before. Wouldn't it be nice if there were both the micocosmic and well as the macrocosmic link?

But no - no more info of note re more intriguing origins of the London Lovelocks. Time - and more research - will tell I hope. Best Robert
