Dear Donna, I really do want to get into this with you as I have a fair amount of information that I think you can help with. The problem is that I am in the middle of moving. I did have time for a quick look and discovered that the information you questioned was supplied by a professional researcher, many years ago when my late father started this research. This is what he wrote. "Thomas Loveless was born on 20th January, 1854, at 2p.m., at Tolpiddle, in the Sub-district of Piddletown, Dorset, the son of William Loveless, labourer, by Ellen Loveless formerly Cosh". It certainly sounds as if it was a copied report from a proper record. The 1851 census shows William 20 living with his father Edward and also shows Ellen Cosh 18 living with her father Thomas. I think I will stick to Cosh as it seems correct. I note that the census also shows an older William Loveless whom seems to be married to a Rebecca Cosh who I believe is also Thomas's daughter. By the way the researcher used was a member of the Society of Genealogists and did an excellent job. Can you supply a gedcom of your Loveless lines? Did you have any trouble with my website? Can you provide the link to the Martyrs?
