Hi I hope that this is now in the correct format for the Roots web server! Hello this is my first try at using the forum. Can anyone help? I have a family line going back via my maternal grandmother to the Loveless family of Norfolk, UK This family seems to have come from Diss and North Walsham. the earliest member that we have identified so far is William Alger Loveless born 1848 died 14 October 1897. He was born of devout Wesleyan parents his father was Robert Loveless (so far I have no dates) Robert is described as being an acceptable preacher. William worked initially as a solicitors clerk but later became a full time quaker minister. There is a a story in my family that my great Uncle also William Loveless researched the family history and found a link with the Loveless family of Tolpuddle, unfortunately his records have been lost. It is known that the Lovelesses of Tolpuddle were Wesleyans and went on to set up the Church in London Ontario if my memory is right. Other research suggests that Primitive Methodism was more usually the spiritual home of farm labourers. I wonder if this earlier Robert Loveless might just have been the Robert Loveless in London that was contacted by George Loveless one of the 'Martyrs'. Best wishes David Allen
