And a very Happy New Year to you Dianne. I'd quite forgotten you were also descended from Robert Lovelock the convict! My apologies. I'd better include you in my discussions with Mary Pipe! Perhaps we should now call the line Lambeth/Australia/Tasmania/New Zealand line? ;-) I will attach under separate email what I have put together with Mary recently as an elaboration on what is currently called the Lambeth-Australia tree on the Lovelock websiite. Mary is actually going to send the gedcom version to James once she has finished adding all her sources. Here's what I have on Robert the convict (mostly from Mary Pipe) below. And yes - I'd very much like to have that information on those Tasmanian convicts. Perhaps James Loveluck might consider having a special section on the Lovelock website for Lovelock felons!?
