Hi Howard, Unfortunately all my geneology is packed in boxes in readiness for our move and my memory isn't so great on dates and places without the notes. - Thomas Loveless was married to Sarah Fry in 1746. Near to Bridport They had a son, also Thomas who I believe married Elizabeth Mathews, their son was Henry Loveless who moved to Axmouth. Their son, William was born into the same generation as George and James. Now he and his family moved from Dorset to Kent in the 1830s, where all my Lovelesses stayed, or continued up to South London. (interestingly all the records concerning William's 3 children show Loveless spelt as Loveliss, this doesn't appear with any others of my line. Made me wonder whether they deliberately changed the spelling when they moved from Dorset since they spelt their adult names 'less' before so weren't illiterate?) I haven't been able to find any links across to the Martyrs at all and have also come to a stall with Thomas and Sarah and their ancestry. I THINK I've got this order correct, Irene knows my tree as well as her own..hey eye? What are your Thomas links?
