Daniel was my 3rd great grandfather and at the time of the 1851 census, aged 58 and a gardener, lived in Wolverhampton (Brewood) with his second wife and daughter Mary (my 2nd great grandmother) by an earlier marriage. He married his second wife in Wolverhampton in 1847. Daniel's birthplace is given as Compton Basset and I believe him to have been descended from the line of Abraham Lovelock and Priscilla Greenaway. His daughter Mary was born abt 1824 in Gloucester according to an 1861 census entry for her. I wonder if anyone might have a clue about Mary's mother Daniel's first wife - and whether he may have had other children by her? Thanks, Chris Knight

Chris, I wonder if Daniel Lovelock could be the progenitor of the "Nevada Lovelock Line"? You will find this on the Web site as the first fragment of the "Misc Trees" at: http://perso.numericable.fr/~lovjames/family-history/lovelock/fragments/misc-lovelock-trees.html According to this fragment Daniel (a gardner!) married Jane Roberts at Oystermouth, Glam, Wales 4 Jan 1816 and they had 5 children, including Mary bap. 20 Apr 1822 at Newport Wales (this doesn't quite fit your data but it's within the errors of census returns etc.) The fragment has Daniel died at Wolverhampton 22 Apr 1846 which must be wrong if he re-married in 1847. I assume that the link to the "Lyneham Line" (descendants of Abraham Lovelock and Priscilla Greenway) would be by the identification of Daniel as the son of Thomas Lovelock and Jane Bratfield, baptised 3 Mar 1793 at Compton Bassett. It would be very interesting if we could link the Nevada Lovelocks to the Lyneham Line!

Well done James! I believe you have indeed connected the Nevada Lovelock line to the Lyneham line. This is pretty exciting stuff and doesn't happen very often. The 1851 census data that Chris Knight supplied on Daniel Lovelock of Wolverhampton exactly matches that of Daniel L bp 1793, the son of Thomas L and Jane Bratfield on the Lyneham line. I'd love to have the full text of the 1851 census details from Chris on Daniel and his family at Wolverhampton. I'd also like to have the detail on his second marriage if Chris could supply. Does Chris have Daniel's burial detail? I had a bit of a hunt on the IGI, FreeBMD and what we have from the GRO. I did find a likely marriage (on Free BMD) of Daniel's daughter Mary (bp 1822) to George Ridley at Wolverhampton (6b 541). I also noticed from our Glamorgan BDM file that Daniel's first marriage was to a Jane REES not ROBERTS. I did find what looks like his second marriage at Wolverhampton amongst our extracts for the GRO (1847 Wolverhampton, XVII, 337, 1). Chris, can you help with some more detail please?? Great work! Robert PS I noticed that Daniel L's detail on the Lovelock site appears to be entered twice. > -----Original Message----- > From: James Loveluck [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Saturday, 30 October 2004 8:16 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Daniel Lovelock Wolverhampton > > > Chris, > > I wonder if Daniel Lovelock could be the progenitor of the "Nevada > Lovelock Line"?
