Marsha, John isn't on either the Lovelace List or the Tolpuddle list; it seems he sent me a query with an inoperable address. Sorry; there isn't anything I can do about it. About 10% of all queries to the website put in an incorrect address. It's maddening! If anyone knows John Cardinal or can hunt around for his address, please let us know. Thanks!

Are you all asleep! Here is an interest read for you all, this was sent to me by a friend. >From Irene Life of George Loveless Excerpts from his diary "About the years 1831-2, when there was a general movement of the working classes for an increase of wages, the labouring men of the parish where I lived (Tolpuddle) gathered together, and met their employers to ask them for an advance of wages, and they came to a mutual agreement, the masters in Tolpuddle promising to give the men as much for their labour as the other masters in the district.......... Shortly after we learnt that in almost every place around us the masters were giving their men money, or money's worth, to the amount of ten shillings per week. We expected to be entitled to so much - but no, nine shillings must be our portion. After some months we were reduced to eight shillings per week. This caused great dissatisfaction, and all the labouring men in the village, with the exception of two or three invalids, made application to a neighbouring magistrate, namely, William Morton Pitt, Esq., of Kingston House, and asked his advice. He told us that if the labourers would appoint two or three and come to the County Hall the following Saturday, he would apprise the chief magistrate, James Frampton, Esq. (whose name I shall not soon forget), and at the sane time our employers should be sent for to settle the subject. I was nominated to appear, and when there we were told that we must work for what our employers thought fit to give us, as there was no law to compel masters to give any fixed money to their servants. In vain we remonstrated that an agreement was made and that the minister of the parish (Dr. Warren) was witness between the masters and the men; for this hireling parson - who at the time said of his own accord, 'I am witness between you men and your masters that if you will go quietly to your work, you shall receive for your labour as much as any men in the district; and if your masters should attempt to run from their word, I will undertake to see you righted, so help me God' - so soon as reference was made to him he denied having a knowledge of any such thing. From this time we were reduced to seven shillings per week, and shortly after our employers told us that they must lower us to six shillings a week." " As to the trial, I need mention but little; the cowardice and dastardly conduct throughout are better known by all that were present than could be by any description that I can give it. Suffice it to say, the most unfair and unjust means were resorted to in order to frame an indictment against us; the grand jury appeared to ransack Heaven and earth to get some clue against us, but in vain. Our characters were investigated from our infancy to the them present moment; our masters were inquired of to know if we were not idle, or attended public-houses, or some other fault in us; and much as they were opposed to us, they had common honesty enough to declare that we were good labouring servants and that they never heard of any complaint against us; and when nothing whatever could be raked together, the unjust and cruel Judge, Williams, ordered us to be tried for Mutiny and Conspiracy under and Act, 37 George III., cap. 123, for the suppression of mutiny amongst the marines and seamen a number of years ago at the Nore"- The gravaman of the charge seems to have been the administering of an oath by an unlawful society.--Loveless continues: " I shall not soon forget the address of the Judge to the jury in summing up the evidence. Among other things he told them that if such societies were allowed to exist it would ruin masters, cause a stagnation in trade, destroy property- and if they should not find us guilty he was certain they would forfeit the opinion of the grand jury. I thought to myself, there is no danger, but we shall be found guilty, as we have a special jury for the purpose, selected from among those who are most unfriendly towards us; the grand jury, landowners; the petty jury, landrenters. The Judge then inquired if we had anything to say. I instantly forwarded the following short defence in writing to him: 'My Lord, if we have violated any law, it was not done intentionally. We have injured no man's reputation, character, person, or property; we were uniting together to preserve ourselves, our wives and our children from utter degradation and starvation. We challenge any many, or number of men, to prove that we have acted, or intended to act, different from the above statement.' The Judge asked if I wished it to be read in court. I answered, 'Yes.' It was them mumbled over to a part of the jury, in such an inaudible manner that, although I knew what was there, I could not comprehend it. And here one of the counsel prevented sentence being passed by declaring that not one charge brought against any of the prisoners at the bar was proved, and that if we were found guilty a great number of persons would be dissatisfied. 'and I shall for one,' said he." "Two days after this we were again placed at the bar to receive sentence, when the Judge told us, 'that not for anything that we had done, or as he could prove, we intended to do, but for an example to others he considered it his duty to pass the sentence of seven years' penal transportation across His Majesty's high seas upon each and everyone of us.' When the ship dropped anchor before Hobart Town, Tasmania, the magistrates came on board, and Loveless had to submit to being "bullied" by one of them - a Mr. Thomas Mason, who seemed very anxious to learn about the dreadful Union movement in the Home Country. Since, however, Loveless could not tell him what he did not know himself, the magistrate apparently lost his temper and threatened Loveless with a second trial and severe punishment. Upon being taken ashore, Loveless was drafted off to work "on the road with the chain-gang," and afterwards he was sent to work on the Government Domain Farm, New Town. Here he worked as a convict for eighteen months; sleeping in a leaky hut; suffering from insufficient food and over-work; and always in fear of being flogged for some petty mistake, until on February 5th, 1836, he was allowed to go forth on a ticket-of-leave "to employ himself to his own advantage in the Colony, until further orders." Eventual Release. The agitation for the release of the Tolpuddle martyrs as they came to be known was, however, kept up both in and out of Parliament by the London Dorchester Committee; and Loveless and four of his companions arrived in London on June 13th, 1837 - James Hammett arriving later. A Memorial Proposed. There can be no doubt that the bold stand made by Loveless and his companions for the right of collective action was an important factor in the rise and development of Democratic Institutions in this country. They paid the price of winning for posterity privileges which they themselves did not enjoy. Their integrity of character, strength of conviction, and calm heroism command the highest admiration of all. Their story is one which Trades Unionists of to-day and of the future will read with a deep feeling of gratitude.

Hi, Does anyone have the genealogy for the descendents of James Loveless (1808-1873), TM, who emigrated to Canada with his brother George in 1844? It is believed that James had 2 wives, one being Sarah Daniels. Thanks and regards, Geoff Anderson

Hi Carol. Glad to have you back. Moving - its great fun! I have that to look forward to late Feb early March as I have to move residences now that the family house has been sold. My daughter Heather and I will be moving perhaps to an apartment. When you've got caught up I would appreciate your Hibbs and Legg information. I'm trying to determine if any of My Lovelesses left Dorset or just their descendants. Thanks to someone on the Dorset mailing list I received information from the index to the 1851 census for Tolpuddle, Affpuddle, Athelhampton, and Puddletown. I will forward that list as it gives names for Hibbs, Legg and Cake. Maybe helpful, who knows. It points me in the direction of Puddletown for my maternal grandfather's family (White). Wendy has forwarded myself the password and the url for the Tolpuddle list which I'm currently trying to understand exactly what my role will be. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Here is another article, I don't know if anyone hasn't read this one. It was listed in Toronto, Canada paper in 1992, written by Alice Mulvey Petitions and marches have become so commonplace during the past couple of decades that we tend to think of them as modern methods to draw attention to some just causes. Farmers, factory workers and even professional people have gone on strike. But in researching the history of the Tolpuddle Martyrs, I have discovered that in Britain in 1834, some 35,000 people gathered near King's Cross in London, and marched through the city, down Whitehall to the Home Office. They carried banners and on a wooden roller, two feet wide and three feet long, were between 200,000 and 300,000 signatures protesting the harsh sentences of six men. FARM LABORERS: These six men were farm laborers from the village of Tolpuddle in Dorset, who had formed themselves into a Friendly Society of Agricultural Laborers. They were convicted of taking an illegal oath and sentenced to seven years in New South Wales (Australia). In 1834, transportation in convict ships to Australia was in full swing. George and James Loveless, James Brine, John Stanfield and Thomas Stanfield, along with James Hammett, found themselves part of this human cargo sent overseas. Unjustly convicted, worried what would happen to their wives and children, these men knew the misery of despair. For 20 hours a day, the prisoners were chained. In April, 1834, the convict ship Surrey set sail for New South Wales with five of the six Tolpuddle men aboard. George Loveless remained behind, ill in a Dorcester jail. It took the convict ship four months to reach Sydney harbor and release its prisoners. While these five Tolpuddle men landed in New South Wales, George Loveless later arrived at Van Dieman's Land. For three years, they suffered deprivation, hunger, floggings and humiliation. In England, their wives and familles were denied parish relief, and the unions came to their aid. At a mass meeting they inaugurated a fund to provide support and from all over the country came donations. Public opinion began to mount and finally in 1837 the six were granted a pardon and returned to their native shores. George Loveless, a Methodist lay preacher, wrote a pamphlet, The Victims of Whiggery, in which he outlined the persecutions, trial and banishment they had suffered. The paper sold well and helped to support their families. The Dorcester Farm Tribute started a fund to provide the men with their own farms and sufficient money was contributed for two farms to be leased. In 1838, the families were settled and everyone seemed happy that justice had prevailed. However, six years later, the Lovelesses and the Brines decided to emigrate to Canada, and London was their destination. George and Betsy Loveless purchased land in London Township, while James Brine took his family to farm in Huron County. The Stanfields came to Canada two years later and joined the Lovelesses on a neighboring farm at Siloam. Thirty years later, George Loveless died at age 77 and was buried beside his wife in Siloam Cemetery. Both Canada and Britain took part in the centenary celebrations in 1934 and the Canadian Trades and Labor Congress held its annual convention at the University of Western Ontario. The movement reminded the country that five men and their familles had found freedom, happiness and prosperity in Canada. An annual pilgrimage to the graves in Lisoam Cemetery took place each year on the Sunday before Labor Day until 1969, when the ceremonies were transferred to the Tolpuddle Pad. This is a small park behind Centennial Museum on Queens Avenue known as the Labor Memorial Park. Men and women of the labor movement are reminded of the debt of gratitude it owes to six farm laborers from Britain who have become known as the Tolpuddle Martyrs.

Hello Geoff. Welcome to the list. I will be taking over at List Manager from Wendy Miller as she has more than even work. I have recently been able to trace a relationship to the Tolpuddle Martyrs in that my 6 X great-grandfather John Loveless was an uncle to George and James Loveless. I would interested in a copy of the article of which you spoke. My address is as follows: Ms Donna King 45 - 165 Kozlov Street Barrie, Ontario L4N 7M7 (705) 725-1471 I willing to share information although I have not discovered if any of the My Lovelesses came to Canada. My great-grandmother Kate Loveless didn't come to Canada as far as I know but perhaps one of her 13 brothers and sisters did.

Hi, all.. thanks for the welcome, Wendy, and Irene. I have joined the list because i have been in correspondence with various tolpuddle researchers from time to time, and this list permits one to exchange some knowledge with a wider group. It is also narrow enough in scope that there should not be a lot of irrelevant (to my interests) messages. My interest is primarily centered around the martyrs and their subsequent life in Canada. I happen to live close to where they settled in London Township. My interests in genealogy and local history have drawn me to these folk. I might say that i get a lot of messages each day from various lists. 80% of them i delete and dont even open. My decision on which to read is based solely on the subject wording. I think this is a similar process followed by many people who get overloaded with messages. I'm sure i have missed some good stuff, but its just the way it is. I mention this because i hope people will give good thought to how they title their postings. Try and include specific information that someone else will recognize. I find it useful to include a spousal surname plus a place plus a date. eg "Loveless/Scandrett-Ontario-1850" would get my attention very seriously, whereas "robert-1850" would not even get a sniff. Apologies for getting on this soap-box... its time to get off! I have an excellent article on the Martyrs written in 1970 by Allen Talbot. It deals with tracking them down in Canada. I would be happy to make some copies and send one to anyone who asks by this weekend. Kindly send me a private e-mail providing either a fax number or an address, and i'll do my best to oblige. (shudder, i do hope there arent more than a dozen people who need one :-)) Best wishes to all in their tolpuddle researches. Geoff

Thanks Linda for your offer. I'm looking forward to getting involved with this list. I like the people on it and also the experience wouldn't hurt as they say. I will be moving residences sometime in late Feb early Mar and will be out of commission for a few days while I move. Therefore, it would be good to have someone else to fall back on. Also, I'm in the military here in Canada and one never knows if my duties will take me away from my home for any length of time. Wendy, you can relax the cavalry is coming.
