The following is taken from an excellent book called "The Book of the Martyrs of Tolpuddle 1834 - 1934) published by the Trades Union Congress General Council (London, England) in 1934 to mark the Centenary of the Dorsetshire labourers being transported for forming a trade union... "Tolpuddle Martyrs that emigrated to Canada landed at New York, travelled from there by train to Buffalo; then by ship to Port Stanley. From there they trekked by ox-team to London, Ontario. George Loveless settled on a farm about 2miles from the site of the first Methodist Church at Siloam, London. This church, which he helped to build was burnt down, being a wooden frame building; the present church was erected on the same site. Although he moved later to another farm, he always resided at London, and lived there till his death 6th march 1874. To the end he was true to his principles and never disguised his outspoken views. He was equally firm in his adherence to his religious faith; and regularly held Bible classes at the house which he had built. He preserved his love of flowers and his garden was a blaze of colour, reagrded with good natured envy by his neighbours." Irene - I too have valuable contacts and would never do anything that would ruin the relationship. The above-mentioned information was sent to me from my Cannell contact. He is a retired librairan and full of all sorts of information. Take care, Donna
