Hi Lawrence and Sally I have a family that I feel matches the William R P Loveless you have below, just check out the names and if we ever go by instinct and our gut feelings this is a good chance. I was tracing Percy Gordon Loveless's line for a lady called Sue Rose, I remember she was from the UK, it's a few years ago now so will need to see if her email address is still working. Sue descended from Percy. Percy had a son Percy Walter Loveless who came to Australia which interested me. Here's the family - Richard Loveless married Sarah Hitt, Sarah was born in Bridport in 1827. From the 1851 census I found Sarah living at Bothenhampton Dorset. Children 1/ Percy Gordon Loveless born 1849 Bothenhampton, married Emma ? Percy in the 1881 census as a Brewers Clerk living Stapenhill Dby 2/ Copley Loveless born 1850 Bothenhampton, never married. 3/ Alfred Copley Hitt Loveless born Bothenhampton Sep Qtr 1857 (from the FMD) 4/ William Loveless 5/ Felicia Loveless I also need to check because William R P Loveless rings a bell, I bet his full name in William Richard Percy Loveless, what do you think?? Hope this helps, will now look for Richard Loveless and perhaps a Percy? Will try not to get excited because this family seems to connect to Somerset and Australia as mine did, you just never know:-) Toodles Irene -----Original Message----- From: kevin mcmahon [mailto:kevin@emmcmahon.fsnet.co.uk] Sent: Friday, May 13, 2005 4:01 AM To: TOLPUDDLE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TOL] Loveless Hi Lawrence Florence Annie Loveless born June Q 1861 Bridport (freeBMD) Florence Loveless married Thomas Wilson Sept Q 1879 Ashton area )freeBMD site) 1881 they are living 32 Mayfield Rd, Handsworth Staffs, she is Florence A Wilson 19 born Bridport, Dorset He is Thomas Wilson 29 born B'ham hosier & glover 1881, 13 Archibald Rd, Handworth, Staffs William R P Loveless brewer 55 born Keynsham, Somerset Sarah Loveless wife 54 born Bridport, Dorset Felicia M H Loveless dau 16 born Bothn Dorset Richard G Loveless son 14 ditto Laura Loveless 12 born Nethbury Dorset I think the above might be her parents and siblings.
