Lovelock and Loveluck distribution

from Census Returns 1841-1921

and from the 1939 Register



The following table illustrates firstly the distribution of people named Lovelock and Loveluck by Census County for England and Wales from 1841 to 1921. The numbers include the spouses of Lovelocks and Lovelucks, who were obviously not born thus; on the other hand there will be in each year a number of Lovelock and Loveluck ladies  who had married and were thus recorded under their husbands' names. We do not claim that the two aspects cancel each other out, but they possibly mean that the figures shown were reasonably indicative of the numbers of persons in each Census who had been born with the name of Lovelock or Loveluck.

The figures from the 1939 Register are in most cases an underestimate. This is because Register entries for anyone born less than 100 years ago are not visible, unless they died before 1992 or have been proven to Findmypast to have died since then. It is not possible to say whether obscured entries are Lovelocks or Lovelucks.

Note: The figures below will often disagree with data derived, for instance, from Ancestry.com® or Findmypast.com® because the figures here include variations on the name (eg Lovelocke), Enumerator errors (eg Lovlock) and any mistranscriptions on the subscription websites (eg Louelock). There are also discrepancies in the subscription websites' location of some places (eg Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire being included in Berkshire data because it fell within the Hungerford, Berkshire Registration District).
