The Find my Past, Ancestry and FamilySearch Web Sites all have a record of the baptism of John Loveluck Loveluck on 7 Jan 1805, but the image of the entry clearly shows that this is a transcription error, and he was just John Loveluck.

The FamilySearch Web Site includes an entry for Evan Loveluck Davis who died on 30 Jun 1903 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. He was allegedly 50 years old and either born in Cardiff in Wales or in England. There is no record of such a birth in the GRO data.

Records from Chile

If you search the Internet for examples of Loveluck as a second or third forename sooner or later you will come across several apparent examples from Chile. However, as James explained in his article in the fifth Issue of ' Lovelock Lines' these have arisen through the long-established Spanish/Chilean practice of including in any person's full name their father's surname followed by their mother's surname, whereas all of the examples above were simply preferences on the part of parents.
