Berkshire Lovelock Family Trees and Fragments |
Summary
to the corresponding Descendant Trees. There are also links for some of the trees, in the 'Progenitor' column, to the Lovelock Webtrees portal (LovelockTrees). Webtrees is a tool for dynamic visualisation of genealogy data on a Web site. Essentially, all the available data in the gedcom file
is accessible, including not only direct descendants of the progenitor of one of the trees, but any individuals to which the descendants are related
in any way. In addition, all aspects of the data can be examined, including source references, notes, etc. There are also links in the table to the corresponding gedcom file itself where one exists.

Details and Origins of Trees
The Wallingford Berks Line
(Previously known as the Reading and Oxfordshire Lovelock Line)Note: Historically, Wallingford was in the county of Berkshire, although it is now in Oxfordshire.
This line was originally researched by Gwen Eastment (née Lovelock). Robert Sterry and John Lovelock are now the main contributors to research on this Line, which also stretches into Oxfordshire.
For more details of the Sterry connection, see Robert's Sterry Worldwide Web pages.
Details for the Remaining Trees
Aldermaston. This tree was produced by Graham Lovelock by merging two previous Aldermaston trees (see below), together with a number of changes and additions (see entry in What's New file for 21-Mar-08). First version added to the Web Site on 21 March 2008.
Aldermaston Tree1 and Aldermaston Tree 2 were submitted by Graham Lovelock and first appeared on the Web site on 7 July 2005.
Note that through the marriage of Phyllis Marjorie Lovelock and Edwin Avery Comley (whose mother was Ellen Lovelock) the Aldermaston Tree is linked to the Lieflock Line.
A Bucklebury Fragment was originally added to the 'Work in Progress' page of the Web Site on 6 November 2012. The 'Lovelocks in Berkshire' data currently has a gap in the Bucklebury records in the period when Gabriel was apparently born, so there is no clear indication of the identities of his parents. There are believed to be no living Lovelocks who are part of this Fragment.
Beenham - Berks (previously known as the Berkshire - Cheshire - Lancashire Connection)
A tree with its origins in Beenham, Berkshire, which extends to Cheshire and Lancashire. Contributed by Graham Lovelock in September 2005.
The Brimpton Branch There are a number of possibilities relating to the progenitors of this fragment, none of which may apparently be excluded by the existing evidence. They are :
1. That Thomas Lovelock was the man baptised at Hungerford in 1774, which would be consistent with his age at burial.Links to supporting Census entries elsewhere on the Web Site are included at the end of the fragment, which was added to the Web Site on 12 November 2012.
2. That Sarah was the Sarah Lane born at Thatcham in 1785, and that she married Thomas at Kingsclere in 1805.
3. That said Thomas had previously married Martha Dopson in 1802, despite there being no apparent burial of Martha in our records.
4. That the man who married Martha Dopson was the Thomas baptised at Ramsbury in 1781.
5. That the Thomas baptised at Ramsbury in 1781 married Sarah Lane at Kingsclere in 1805, although this would not be consistent with his age at burial.
6. That Thomas and Sarah, the progenitors of this fragment, are an as-yet-undiscovered couple.
[John Lewis believed 1. and 2. to be the case, and incorporated the relevant information into his Kingsclere families database, which is no longer available online.]
The Hungerford- Shalbourne Tree was produced with some help from Graham Lovelock, especially with census records which helped in constructing the later generations. The 'Burghfield branch', descendants of Thomas Lovelock (1813-1865) was added later, and was developed by Graham Lovelock with contributions from Robin Lovelock and James Loveluck. First version added to the Web Site on 12 September 2006, and the Burghfield branch was added on 24 November 2007.
Kintbury Tree: This tree was originally submitted by John Lewis and first appeared on the Lovelock Web Site on 13 November 2004 as the Shaw cum Donnington Tree. Later extensions were proposed by Nigel Gerdes and John Lewis. Then in 2020 some further work by Helen Norton and Vicki Houlbrooke, stemming from examination of several Wills, led to the conclusion that the true progenitor was Thomas Lovelock buried at Kintbury in 1711.
Lambourn/Sparsholt Tree: A preliminary version of this tree was first provided by Robert Sterry on 15 January 2004, and incorporated material from Gwen Eastment and Janet Hearle. A more complete version was provided by Graham Lovelock on 10 January 2005, and in revised form on 24 January 2005. This version also included additional material and corrections from Sian Davies, Michelle Lovelock, Nigel Gerdes, Michael Bousher and a "Living Bowden".
Swallowfield-Heckfield-Worplesdon Tree: This tree was formed by a merger of the Swallowfield/Heckfield Tree, which was originally submitted by John Lewis, who is descended from Thomas Lewington, son of Jonathon Lewington and Elizabeth Lovelock, and of the Worplesdon (Surrey) Tree, when a John Lovelock born 1765 or 1766 was identified as being common to both. The original trees first appeared on the Web Site in 2004 and 2006 respectively. The combined tree first appeared on the Lovelock Web site on 3 September 2012.
A Thatcham Fragment: This Fragment begins with Edward Lovelock who married Elizabeth Downham on 1 June 1634 at Thatcham. Their great-grandson Francis, baptised at Thatcham on 8 July 1711, has been suggested by John Lewis as the progenitor of the Kingsclere Line. There is presently no independent evidence to support the suggestion. The Fragment was originally added to the 'Work in Progress' page of the Web Site on 9 January 2013.
