Hi everyone, As I am new to the mailing list, I thought it proper that I introduce myself and announce my interest in the Loveless family and the Tolpuddle Martyrs. Well I'm Malcolm Tarrant living in Ipswich, Suffolk, England and I have started researching the claim that my grandmother was related to the Tolpuddle Martyrs. (I have heard this said since I was a lad!) It's early days in my research and I am currently verifying information that my maternal grandmother, Evelyn Ethel May Loveless (born 1906) married Cyril William Augustus Ford (1927) who I believe was the daughter of James Sansom Loveless and Ann Sarah Berrett living at 7 Portman Road, Boscombe, Bournemouth, England during the 1901 census. I also have a strong suspicion that this James Sansom Loveless is the child of Robert Loveless and Ester Sansom (Descendants of John Loveless - published on the internet by Donna King). A William Loveless married to Frances is also recorded as living at 7 Portman Road, I suspect that he is the brother of James Sansom Loveless who is shown as a child of Robert Loveless and Ester Sansom (Descendants of John Loveless - published on the internet by Donna King). The occupation of James and William Loveless is recorded as Carpenters in the 1901 census. In support of this my father talks of the Loveless family in Portland Road, Boscombe (which I suspect is Portman Road) and he also names Archie and Maud Loveless who appear as children of James Sansom Loveless in the 1901 census. He also tells me that Maud Loveless looked after my Mother(deceased) for a short period when she was a child. So I would welcome any help in my efforts to establish whether my grandmother is linked to the Loveless family of Tolpuddle and the Tolpuddle Martyrs and any help in verifying my suspicion that James Sansom Loveless is the son of Robert Loveless. Now it's time to go to bed (it's 2am here in the UK) so Goodnight or should it be Good Morning to you all!
