Hello Maureen My husband is a descendant of a Martha Lovelock (but not yours, though on your line). We had a grandmother come to New Zealand during WW1 and settle in Auckland. Are you in New Zealand? Re your Thomas. Have you had a look at the census for 1871? That's where I'd try first. Do Wiltshire first and then surrounding counties if he's not there. (I guess you've tried the IGI and birth registration.) I also would like to thank Graham. Thanks a bunch, Graham. Kind regards.
