Hi Martin Sorry but these are my Loveless's and from the early 1850's all from Australia. They came from Surrey and before that Bristol in England. Laurence William Loveless and Thelma Victoria May were married in Melbourne Victoria Australia in the 1920's. Sadly your William Henry does not fit into my family tree.

Do you happen to know anything about the parents Laurence William Loveless and Thelma Victoria May? I would guess they were born in the late 1890's or so, so at least a generation or two later than my William Henry Loveless b. 1854 and Mary Jane May, b. 1857, married in 4Q 1875. Their son William Henry Loveless b. 3Q1876 married in 4Q1901 and appears to have a child William Henry V Loveless in 4Q1908. William Henry May, Mary Jane's younger brother, chr. 5 Apr 1863, married Kate Emily Doling in 4Q1887. All events above in Portsea/Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. Any connections? I haven't found any Laurence Loveless names on FreeBMD in that area though, so it may be a coincidence. Regards Martin Willcocks Taylorsville, UT, USA.

Laurence Loveless born 21 Oct 1921, in South Melbourne Victoria Australia, parents Laurence William Loveless and Thelma Victoria May. There's that surname May connecting to Loveless's again, interesting. Thanks for passing this on Donna. ==== TOLPUDDLE Mailing List ==== LOVELESS/LOVELACE GENEALOGY PAGE - UNITED KINGDOM/CANADA/AUSTRALIA http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~martyrs
