Hello Geoff. Welcome to the list. I will be taking over at List Manager from Wendy Miller as she has more than even work. I have recently been able to trace a relationship to the Tolpuddle Martyrs in that my 6 X great-grandfather John Loveless was an uncle to George and James Loveless. I would interested in a copy of the article of which you spoke. My address is as follows: Ms Donna King 45 - 165 Kozlov Street Barrie, Ontario L4N 7M7 (705) 725-1471 I willing to share information although I have not discovered if any of the My Lovelesses came to Canada. My great-grandmother Kate Loveless didn't come to Canada as far as I know but perhaps one of her 13 brothers and sisters did. Once again welcome and look forward to reading that article, Donna King [email protected] http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Park/3288 -----Original Message----- From: Geoff <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, January 19, 1999 9:07 PM Subject: [TOLPUDDLE-L] TM research document - free for asking! >Hi, all.. >thanks for the welcome, Wendy, and Irene. >I have joined the list because i have been in correspondence with various >tolpuddle researchers from time to time, and this list permits one to >exchange some knowledge with a wider group.
