* Also included in the Indian Mutiny Medal Roll (British Forces) 1857-1859, were an Alfred Lovelock, a James Lovelock and a Thomas Lovelock. (Source: The Families in British India website at http://www.fibis.org/). Transcription data at Findmypast indicates that Alfred, a member of the 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabineers), died of Cholera at Delhi on 4 Aug 1857. The same source records that James received a Slight Wound at Lucknow on 10 March 1858, and that Thomas was a member of 37th Foot (North Hampshire) regiment. The latter two seem not to have survived to become Chelsea Pensioners.
