Hi Graham I visited the Berkshire Record Office yesterday and searched for Edward Lovelock's Will dated 1780. BRO do not have a copy. Where did you see it? Do you have a copy you can send me? I also looked for an entry in Hungerford St Lawrence for Francis Lovelock's Burial. He was Baptised there on 9 April 1751 but no record of the Burial. Do you know where the Burial took place? This afternoon I telephoned Lovelocks House and spoke to Major Hanbury's PA to arrange a visit and was advised that Francis Lovelock's entry in Pigotts 1830 probably refers to Avington not Evington. Apparently Avington is a Manor House East of Hungerford south of the A4. It would appear that there is a carved family crest at the top of the staircase at Lovelocks which I hope to photograph shortly.

John Forgive the clumsy addressing - pushed for time. I never saw the Will. No magic - I simply used the information captured on the Website. I guess James, Robert or Malcolm must have gathered it in. Can you advise, gentlemen?
