Hello all, Here's another batch of comments and questions arising from cross-checking my Lovelock database against the "Lovelocks in Wiltshire" file. I'm now up to Marlborough! Regards, James Great Bedwyn baptisms 1734 Aug 24(?) Thomas son of Thomas and Mary Lovelock baptized (R) 1734 Aug 22 Thomas son of Thomas and Mary Lovelock baptized (M) This is Thomas son of Thomas L (bap 18 Mar 1711 Easton Royal) and Mary Willmaut, and should be flagged as (L) 1897 Jul 8 Ernest Charles son of Lavinia Lovelock (LDS Vital Records British Isles 2nd ed. has born 8 Jul 1897 and baptised 17 Sep 1897.) The mother is probably Lavinia Henrietta Alice Lovelock bap 8 Nov 1876 Gt Bedwyn, illegitimate dau of Mary Lovelock (bap 30 Sep 1855 East Grafton). In this case should be flagged (L) (L)++1848 Jun 8 Elizabeth dau of Daniel Lovelock & Ann Choules, Hungerford (Not in LDS Vital Record. Should be under parish of Hungerford in Berkshire) This entry should be removed, since it is really a PRO birth record for Hungerford. The baptism on 14 Jul 1848 is recorded at East Grafton. (L)1918 Sep 1 Charles Wilfred son of Leonard and Emma Lovelock I can't identify this birth, nor the parents. marriages 1871 Dec 25 James FRENCH, James Age: 19, Father: Thomas FRENCH & Ann LOVELOCK Age: 19 years, Father: Thomas LOVELOCK Bride is almost certainly Susannah Ann Lovelock bap 1 May 1853, dau of Thomas L & Ann Stroud. So this marraige should be flagged (L) burials This burial: 1928 Feb 27 Richard Lovelock Aged 80 is that of Richard L bap 16 Jul 1847, son of Richard L & Milicent Fribbence, so it should be flagged (L) 1865 Oct 19 Ann Lovelock wife of Thomas Lovelock, Aged 41 is probably Ann née Stroud, who mar. Thomas L (bap 8 Jul 1821) at Gt Bedwyn 14 Jan 1851 (I have Ann bap 1 Mar 1824) If so, should be flagged (L) 1927 Mar 26 Sarah Annie Lovelock Gt Bedwyn Aged 76 Is this the wife of Charles L (bap. 14 Jan 1849)? 1940 Jul 30 Jane Lovelock Aged 83 This could be Jane née Wyle, who mar. Richard L (bap. 16 Jul 1847) at Gt Bedwyn 15 Apr 1877. I have her born 1857 at Buttermere (source: Graham). Entered as such and flagged as Lieflock line. Lyneham baptisms *1842 Jun 12 Richard John son of Daniel and Anne Lovelock, Goatacre, labourer Should have been flagged (Ly) 1861 Jan 6 Anne Dr of George & Mary Lovelock, Littlecot in Lyneham, Labourer Could this be Anne L dau. of George L (bap. 1 Oct 1837) and Martha Goff? burials 1845 Jan 24 Stephen Lovelock, Lyneham, 2 years This is almost certainly Stephen L. bap. 12 Jan 1845 at Lyneham (b. 15 Jan 1843, source Catherine Lovelock?) Should be flagged (Ly) 1848 Jun 14 Charlotte Lovelock, Littlecot, 5 months Probably dau of Daniel L & Ann Brown, bap. 16 Apr 1846 (but age at death doesn't match date of bap.) 1951 Dec 18 Emily Lovelock Died aged 92 (wife of Tom) Should be flagged (Ly) 1916 Nov 4 Kenneth John Lovelock (son) Died aged 19 in France Should be flagged (Ly) (son of Tom L & Emily Humphries) 1918 Feb 7 Tom Lovelock (son) Died aged 30 (husband of Rose Lovelock) Should be flagged (Ly) (son of Tom L & Emily Humphries) 1957 Mar 20 Lilly Maud Lovelock Died aged 66 Should be flagged (Ly) (son of Tom L & Emily Humphries) Lyneham Apprenticeships These two are both on the Lyneham line and should be flagged (Ly) 1896 - - George Jacob Lovelock son of Tom Lovelock, labourer of Lyneham, county boy - Major Walker Heneage to Frederick Hillier, mason of Lyneham on 1896 Aug 31 1903 - - Harold Lovelock son of Gennbath Lovelock Labourer of Lyneham county boy- Capt. G.C.W.Heneage to James Bailey Lloyd, carpenter of Lyneham. Transferred to Edwin Hugh Edmonds of Wootton Bassett on 1904 Feb 13. ( date to Lloyd 1903 Aug 10) Marlborough St Mary Marriages I believe that all the following marriages are recorded in the LDS Vital Records under Marlborough St Peter and St Paul, and not Marlborough St Mary. LDS Vital Records British Isles 2nd ed. Film 97840 Dates: 1813 - 1906 has the entry: 1834 Apr 24 James Lovelock and Sukey Hunt (See Marlborough St Peter and Paul below.) 1849 Jun 5 George COOK Father: George COOK and Matilda LOVELOCK Father:Thomas LOVELOCK (should be George William COOK) 1852 Sep 23 John LOVELOCK Father: William LOVELOCK and Harriet GAYDON Father: Thomas GAYDON 1852 Jan 1 Henry WILLIAMS widower Father: William WILLIAMS and Ann LOVELOCK Father: William LOVELOCK 1875 Dec 23 John Tamblyn MARTIN, Age: 23 years, Father: Stephen MARTIN and Mary Jane LOVELOCK Age: 23 years, Father: George LOVELOCK 1878 Dec 25 Frederick James Spicer LOVELOCK, Age: 20 years, Father: Silas LOVELOCK & Mary Annie BLUNDY Age: 20 years Wife's Father: Major BLUNDY 1899 Nov 19 John Edward POSTILL, Age: 31 years, Father: William POSTILL & Edith LOVELOCK Age: 22 years Wife's Father: William LOVELOCK Marlborough St Peter & St Paul Baptisms 1852 Sep 2 Mary Jane LOVELOCK Father: George LOVELOCK Mother: Charlotte I believe the date in the IGI is 26 Sep (not 2 Sep) Marriages For this marriage: 1834 Apr 24 James Lovelock and Sukey Hunt (See Marlborough St Peter and Paul below.) I had previously assumed that the James L in question was the one bap. 7 Jul 1816 St Peter & St Paul, Marlborough, son of William L & Sarah King. However, under the burials for St Peter & St Paul, Marlborough one finds: 1816 Aug 11 James s. William & Sarah Lovelock aged 5w clearly the same James L. Therefore the James L who married Sukey Hunt must be a different one.
