Irene Thanks responding to my first email to the Tolpuddle Mailing List. It provided verification of authenticity of the Loveless line presented online by Donna King and gave me a number of second christian names for the chidren of Robert Loveless and Esther Loveless. Their daughter, Amelia Jane Loveless was unkown to me (she's not included in Donna's 'Loveless' tree). I have recently purchased the birth certificate for my grandmother, Evelyn Ethel Loveless and her father is recorded as James Samson Loveless so I am reasonable confident of the relationship although It remains for me to obtain my grandmother's marriage and death certificate and a good quality copy of my mother's birth certificate to make absolutely sure of my claims. Again thanks for your help. Bye for now Malcolm
