Since finding Daniel Lovelock I have been spending a fair bit of time trying to find out more about him and his offspring. The 1861 census makes it pretty clear that Daniel was the head Gardener at Chillington Hall - a stately pile owned by the Giffard family and open to the public nowadays. They have a web site at http://www.chillingtonhall.co.uk/ where you will see the gardens/park were pretty big (1100 plus acres even today) and that they were originally done by Capability Brown.. I am sure there is a lot more to learn about Daniel and next year as soon as the Hall opens, I shall be there D.V. Daniel's son George Lovelock has turned into the most fascinating character. I have found a lot on Ancestry in the Nevada Daily State Journal that fortunately includes his obituary. His story is one of (several) fortunes in mining, shipwrecks en-route to Australia - which killed an un-named daughter, Pirates, the murder of his son Daniel by a jealous husband and endless selling of mines, some at $100,000 each (and this in the 1880s!), another early death of a son by malarial fever (George, died 24 Aug 1893 in Lovelock, Nevada). A second wife - Mrs Evans, no other names yet - drowned whilst fishing in a creek a few years after they were married. Apologies to all who know this stuff already, I have only just joined this list and am totally out of touch with whatever has gone before! If anyone has stuff, please do let me know. If anyone wants stuff I have found, also please let me know. Chris P.S. Ancestry seems to be choking on its USA censuses at the moment and serving me up wrong pages or no pages at all for things it says it has - rather tantalising, I hope it's temporary.
