Hello to everyone on the list. Robin has asked me to join the list and talk with everyone. My ancestors have married into the Lovelock line. I am descended from James Jordan who married Elizabeth Newman. James's brother is John who married Eliza Lovelock. I also have heard that there are some people related to the Cummins line here too, and I have many of them. My England surname interests are; Cummins, Newman, Jordan, Lovelock, Bulpit, Collins, Alderman and Munnings. Areas they were in are; Hungerford Berkshire, Ashmansworth Hampshire, Faccombe Hampshire, Buttermere and Oxenwood Wiltshire, Ipswich Suffolk. I live in Michigan in the U.S. and have never been to England though I hope someday to visit. Robin had told me how close a lot of these places are, which will help me. She has been such a great help to me and so quick! I would love to hear from anyone. Thanks so much Cathy Obeshaw
Glad to see you've joined the list Cathy. I thought I'd better hasten to correct one thing you said about me and clarify another - for differing reasons. (i) I'm glad to have been able to help put you in touch with fellow-researchers, but I'm a 'he' not a 'she' (and with a beard too), as listers I met face-to-face at 'Lovelocks Alive' will know! One of the dangers of email! A few years back I experienced a precise parallel in the quite different context of an email exchange with an American academic - a feminist philosopher - about the relevance to social work of Ludwig Wittgenstein's ideas on language and meaning. After 2 or 3 emails either way she said something which alerted me to her misapprehension - not in thinking that I was sympathetic to her ideas, which I very much was/am, but that she and I were both women. There may be a US/UK variation around the use/spelling of 'Robin'; I think females are usually 'Robyn' in the UK - although I've met at least one who was 'Robin' too. (ii) To save embarrassment or confusion, all the places you list - and of course also Wootton Rivers and Pewsey which featured in your original enquiry - are quite close together around the E. Wilts/W. Berks/N.W. Hants borders, but Ipswich (Suffolk) is a long way distant (even now). Good luck - and best wishes to all Robin ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 7:57 PM Subject: From Cathy Obeshaw Lovelock/Newman/Cummins/Jordan etc. > > > Hello to everyone on the list.
