Hi all Just to clear things up. In the BVRI there is a marriage LOVELACE Thomas wife Betty MATTHEWS Marriage Date 1 Feb 1787 Recorded in LONG BREDY, DORSET, ENGLAND. Then there is LOVELACE Henry Matthew Christened 26 Jun 1794 Parents Thomas LOVELACE & Elizabeth Recorded in LONG BREDY, DORSET, ENGLAND. Now I don't know about the rest of your but I would call SNAP to these two. I would also think that there would be more children between the marriage in 1787 and the christ/birth of Henry in 1794. Carol I did send you a Loveless family from Powerstock that I still feel are connected but I could be wrong. I have more info being sent on them. Powerstock is just above Long Predy in Dorset. Hi Barb I am trying to work on the Aussie Loveless/Lovelace's and have found another cousin connected to Henry Lovelace from Castlemaine, hope to have her info this week. Bye Irene >Barb - couldn't help noticing the Long Bredy bit about Thomas Lovelass >marrying Elizabeth Mathews in 1780s. Not sure where you got this from but >I have been researching my ggggrandad Henry's parents who I believe were >Thomas and Elizabeth of Long Bredy who married in 1787. Irene gave me >'Mathews' however we have since discovered that this was another Elizabeth >from Powerstock who also married a Thomas Lovel(ace) - he was born in 1875 >so his wife was no doubt born around the same time. >Just wondering whether there is a confusion here or whether you have more >info. about the Long Bredy Loveless's??
