LOVATT; ENG>Edmonton, CAN; c. 1900 Hi My two great uncles HENRY NORMAN LOVATT and JESSE LOVATT went to Edmonton around c1905 and in 1906 were running a store, Lovatt Bros of 1017 - 1019 Jasper avenue. HENRY NORMAN LOVATT died 1943. Unfortunately he had only one son who was killed along with his mother in a car accident in 1958. JESSE LOVATT died in 1929, his wife and child for some reason were back in England by then. Looking through the Edmonton directories from 1907 onwards I noticed that other familiar sounding LOVATT names were appearing. This has lead me to believe that descendants of my 2 x great uncles WILLIAM LOVATT and CHARLES LOVATT who left England for Trenton NJ in c1885 may also have ended up in Edmonton. Their names as follows William Lovatt married Ann Brassington and had the following children in Fenton S-O-T England Frances Ann Lovatt b c1872 Harriet Helen Lovatt b c 1873 William Lovatt b c 1876 Ethel Brassington Lovatt c 1877 but she died young Arthur Brassington Lovatt b c1879 Jesse Brassington Lovatt b c 1880 Sarah Brassington Lovatt b c1883 but she died young Charles Lovatt married Mary Swettenham and had the following children in Fenton S-O-T England Florence Evelyne Lovatt b c 1874 Frederick Charles Lovatt b c 1876 Harold Swettenham Lovatt b c 1878 Ethel Irene Lovatt b c 1880 Edgar William Lovatt b c 1881 Spencer Lovatt b c 1884 The NJ librarian found CHARLES and MARY LOVATT in Holboken in 1900 still with all above children plus Arthur who was born in 1891 in Hoboken. So they left England after 1884 and were in America by 1891. SHE COULDN'T FIND WILLIAM, had he gone to Edmonton. They were the brothers of my great grandfather JAMES LOVATT and I believe they ran a small pottery firm here in the Potteries before the brothers left. Could they have ended up in Edmonton like their nephews? Does anyone recognize anything Best Wishes Julie jued.lay@cableinet.co.uk
