Robert, thanks. More good luck here! Can't think how I entitled the recent message as Daniel Estcourt, except that is a family name I am researching too. Anyway, fresh eyes this morning found Daniel Lovelock in the 1861 census as follows: RG9 - 1980 Folio 55 page2 Parish of Brewood Chillington Garden hse. Daniel Lovelock, Head, age (unreadable), Head Gardener, Wilts. Compton Basset Mary Lovelock, Wife, 54, Staffordshire Wolverhampton George Chorlton Boarder, age (unreadable), Under gardener, Lancashire Manchester Frederick Lovelock, Grandson, Scholar, 14, Born at Sea This last entry ties in beautifully with the fact that Daniel's son, George Lovelock had a son Frederick, born 1848 at sea on Board "Success" Chillington House was the first entry in the district of Chillington with many servants listed, all working for a Charlotte Gifford, Landed Proprietor. Daniel has evidently reached the top of his profession there. Regards, Chris
