Not directly related to the discussion, but do you have this? Settlement examination, LOVELOCK, Thomas, carpenter 13 April 1780 Born Titcombe in Fosbury and lived with his friends until about 14 years of age when he was apprenticed to Thomas CARPENTER of Wroughton, Carpenter, who was then a certificate man at Wroughton (mark) and William LOVELOCK is named as the reputed father in two Bastardy orders for Wroughton Parish Elizabeth Smith, sp. Male child b 23 Oct 1808 (Date of order 23 March 1809) Sarah Thrush, sp. Male child b 1 september 1808 (Date of order, 29 September 1808) I have a few resources for the area, as have (non) Lovelock ancestors back to the 1600's in the district. Have you checked for any connections in Berkshire? My own research has shown that there was a reasonable amount of movement between this area of Wilts and parts of Berkshire, esp around Faringdon, Lambourne, etc, even back in the 1600/1700's. Helen

Helen Well done for digging out the Settlement reference. I had actually referred to this in an earlier e-Mail (off list) to Robert and James, but was relying on memory. It rather looks as though Thomas married the daughter of the man he was apprenticed to. Not the first time that will have happened, I'm sure. William was probably Thomas' son, baptised in 1788, I would guess.
