Good evening everyone You will have seen one or two e-Mails regarding the above and may be wondering exactly what's going on. As a result of a chance remark from an off-list correspondent, which included a fortuitous typographical error, I have examined the Wroughton and Tidcombe data on the Website and believe that there is a link between the two in the family of Edward Lovelock and Jemima Besant. I have put the following data together, which Robert and James have kindly cast an eye over, looking for gross errors (the sort I most often make!), and checking at least some of the logic. If anyone has anything to add it will be most welcome, as will the identification of any errors. Thanks in anticipation, Graham THE PROPOSED WROUGHTON/TIDCOMBE CONNECTION John Lovelock m (1) Elizabeth Cheeker or Checker (bur 10 Feb 1759 at Wroughton) 3 Jul 1739 at Wroughton John Lovelock bap 24 Apr 1740 at Wroughton, bur 18 Mar 1742 at Wroughton Mary Lovelock bap 2 Aug 1742 at Wroughton John Lovelock bap 4 Apr 1744 at Wroughton Thomas Lovelock bap 24 May 1747 at Wroughton m Mary Carpenter (bur 21 Jun 1834 at Wroughton aged 76) 25 May 1778 at Wroughton John Lovelock bap 11 Dec 1778 at Wroughton, bur 14 Aug 1780 at Wroughton Thomas Lovelock bap 1 Oct 1780 at Wroughton Elizabeth Lovelock bap 8 Sep 1782 at Wroughton m William Collier 15 May 1812 at Wroughton John Lovelock bap 2 Jan 1785 at Wroughton, bur 22 May 1785 at Wroughton Sophia Lovelock bap 14 Jan 1787 at Wroughton m James Hunt 14 Aug 1814 at Broad Hinton* William Lovelock bap 30 Nov 1788 at Wroughton George Lovelock bap 13 Mar 1791 at Wroughton James Lovelock bap 14 Apr 1793 at Wroughton m Lucy Ball 20 Oct 1814 at Wroughton Hester Lovelock bap 16 Jul 1815 at Wroughton m James Harding 13 Jun 1835 at Wroughton Mary Lovelock bap 2 Feb 1817 at Wroughton Ann Lovelock bap 10 Sep 1819 at Wroughton, bur 7 Jul 1827 at Wroughton John Lovelock bap 25 Dec 1821 at Wroughton m Mariam ?
