Greetings Lovelock Listers I was at Kew on Saturday 27th April looking for records relating to my Grandfather William George Lovelock's Army service late 19th / early 20th C. Original documents for Lovelock are available for the period 1855-1913 ( PRO Ref: WO97/3317) and I noted all the enlistment documents they have. The papers include useful information on age, birthplace and next of kin together with details of postings, promotion and discharge. Alas my William was not there but I was successful in finding his reservist call up papers in 1914 on microfilm amongst First World War Soldiers Documents ( the ' Burnt Documents ' ) - only 40% of the WW1 records survived bombing in 1940 so I was fortunate that William's record was amongst them ( PRO Ref WO363/1017 & 1018 1017 Lovell William to Lovelock Frederick 1018 Lovelock Frederick to Loveluck Andrew ). The PRO are gradually filming the surviving documents. Anyway I thought other Lovelock researchers might find some of their descendants on this list and may even find a missing link!
