Notes on the Lieflock Line

by Graham Lovelock
April 2000

I have at last finished working through "The Lieflock Line" Fragment,
comparing it to the data I have managed to gather, and have the
following comments and observations to offer, working down it from top
to bottom:

a. Sarah DUDMAN was christened on 18 Sep 1785 at Great Bedwyn (GB).

b. I have Richard LOVELOCK (L) son of Sarah above christened 30 Apr
1809 not 1808.

c. Same Richard died in Mar 1/4 of 1889 (aged 79), but I know not
where.

d. Charles L the son of Richard above married Mary Jane RUSS at East
Grafton (EG) on 19 Jul 1877. I have no record of a marriage of a
Charles at GB in 1872. HOWEVER, Charles was 43 in 1877, whilst his
bride was only 26, so he could have been a widower - my notes from the
EG Register do not record that he was. Also, a Charles was married
somewhere in the Hungerford Registration District in the Jun 1/4 of
1872.

e. I believe the Charles L / Sarah Ann marriage you have captured is
that of Charles the son of James L and Honor Gigg. I do not know when
or where they were married, but that Charles would have been 23 or 24
in 1872, and the couple's first child Walter John Edward L was
christened on 15 Jun 1873 in GB.

f. Re Thomas L c: 7 Aug 1836: he married Harriet CHOULES on 2 Aug 1862
at EG, and was buried on 1 Sep 1869 at Wilton.  They had three
children: Ellen c: 30 Nov 1862, Charles c: 30 Apr 1965, and James c:
12 Jul 1867, all at Wilton.

g. Mary L c: 7 Jul 1839 married Oldin MITCHELL on 20 Oct 1883 at GB.

h. Daniel L b: Abt 1845 married a Jane Smith. They had two children:
Frederick J b: Abt 1877, and Alice S b: Abt 1880. Alas, at the moment
I can not trace the provenance of these facts so you may wish to
ignore them.

i. I have so much information on Richard L and Jane Wyle and their
descendants that I have attached a separate File ("Rich&Jane").

j. Richard L and Millicent FRIBBENCE had one more child: Hannah b: Jul
1852 at EG, m: Charles CHAMPION 5 Sep 1874 at EG.

k. William L c: 6 Jan 1811 was bur: 17 Sep 1892 at EG.

l. Mary Ann the daughter of William above m: Stephen MARSHALL 28 Oct
1852 at EG.

m. I have so much information on George the brother of Mary Ann above
that I have attached another separate File ("Geo&Sarah").

n. John the brother of George above died in the Jun 1/4 of 1928.

o. Hannah Maria the sister of John above was actually born at EG not
GB.

p. Frederick the brother of Hannah Maria above died in the Jun 1/4 of
1843.

q. Elijah the brother of Frederick above has been omitted. This is the
one you've recently been corresponding with Janet and Jeremy over, so
I am presuming that I do not need to re-supply the data.

r. William L the son of John L and Jane CHOULS was c: 8 Feb 1846 at
EG.

s. Elijah the brother of William above was c: 26 May 1848 at
EG. Although his birthplace varies in the Census Returns the EG
Baptism Register is quite definite that his parents were "of East
Grafton".

t. George the brother of Elijah above was c: 8 Sep 1850 at EG (born at
Wilton).

u. John L and Jane CHOULS had two more children: Charles c: 29 Oct
1852 at EG (born at Wilton), and Emily c: 24 Mar 1857 at EG (born at
Wilton).

v. Eliza FISHER's mother's christian name was Ann.

w. Elizabeth daughter of Eliza above was bur: 15 Mar 1840 at GB.

x. George the brother of Elizabeth above was married in the Dec 1/4 of
1858, and had two children: Sarah Ann b: Abt 1865 and William b: Abt
1869, both at West Grafton (WG).

y. George L and Eliza FISHER had a second Elizabeth b: Abt 1849 at GB.

z. George L and Eliza FISHER had an additional seven children: Jane b:
Abt 1853 at WG, Susannah b: Abt 1855 at WG, Thomas b: Abt 1859 at WG,
Daniel b: Abt 1864 at GB, Fanny b: Abt 1865 at GB m: John Janes FISHER
3 Nov 1885 at EG, Charles b: Abt 1868 at GB, and Elijah b: Abt 1871 at
WG.

aa. Ann CHOULS' mother's maiden name was Maria SMITH.

bb. Sarah daughter of Ann CHOULS above m: John SHEPPARD 21 Jul 1860 at
EG.

cc. Thomas brother of Sarah above m: Sarah Ann MILDENHALL 13 Nov 1869
at Shalbourne, d: 15 Feb 1933 at Northop, Flint.  This is Malcolm
LOVELOCK's line, so again I presume you already have all the data from
Malcolm.

dd. Elizabeth sister of Thomas above was born at Crofton and died at
Little Bedwin. She did not marry Edwin Waters (this is the Ken Gigg
saga), but m: Henry HILLIER 1 Feb 1868 at EG.

ee. Mary sister of Elizabeth above m: Albert HOLMES 8 Nov 1881 at EG.

ff. Charlotte L c: 12 Jan 1823 m: George CHAMPION 12 Aug 1860 at EG
bur 22 Aug 1886 at EG. She had an illegitimate daughter Mary L c: 30
Sep 1855 at EG, who herself had an illegitimate son Charles Frederick
b: Abt 1878 at WG.

gg. Thomas the brother of Charlotte above bur: 30 Mar 1849 at EG.

hh. I note the John L c: 17 Sep 1826 but also note that the Baptism
Register records him as the "son of Phoebe Lovelock of Camberwell".

ii. Richard L m: Elizabeth CARTER 18 Apr 1825 at Lambourne, Berks not
Burbage. We can trace this line forward to at least 1995, and I have
attached yet another File with the data ("Rich&Eliz").

jj. [NOTE - I HAVE NOW GONE DOWN QUITE A LONG WAY - TWO PAGES' WORTH
IF YOU PRINT IT OUT.] David L c: 13 Sep 1807 d: 4 Mar 1849 at
Marlborough Bridewell. He m: Martha YEATES 2 Sep 1839 at Pewsey.

kk. Elizabeth daughter of David above c: 22 Sep 1846 at Pewsey, m:
Edwin WATERS 11 Dec 1876 at Savernake, and d: 10 Jan 1915.

ll. Anne Maria L c: 8 Jul 1810 had a second sp: James BURROWS, m: 19
Feb 1868 at Burbage.

mm. Richard L c; 26 Sep 1733, bur: 7 May 1793 at Easton Royal (ER).

nn. I know of the marriage of John Eliat/Eliot on 15 Mar 1799 to Sarah
L, but of no proof that she was the daughter of Richard L and Mary
CHIVERS. I have not tested for any children: since she would have been
40 going on 41 at the time of the marriage children would have been
unlikely, although of course not impossible.

oo. I have Leaver (Leaber?) L c: 30 Sep 1768, not Dec.

pp. John L c: 25 Dec 1739 was bur: 29 Dec 1779 at ER.

qq. Henry L c: 6 Sep 1741 was bur: 20 Oct 1741 at ER.

rr. I note that you have John L c: 17 Sep 1826 the son of Phebe the
daughter of William L and Susannah GIDDINGS, a repetition of the entry
I referred to at hh. above. I am inclined to think this second entry
is the correct one.

ss. William L and Susannah GIDDINGS had son Thomas b: Abt 1809 at ER,
who had sp: Ann UNKNOWN.

tt. Mary sister of Thomas above was actually Mary Ann, and m: Edward H
STOCKMAN.

uu. William L and Susannah GIDDINGS had son William b: Abt 1828.

vv. I think there is some double-checking to be done on John L c: 2
Feb 1748. We need to bottom out the entry of 12 Feb 1748 that appears
in the IGI, and whether there is a confusion with the burial on that
date. My data is clear to me but the reason I think it is crucial to
sort it out is because of the baptism of John the son of Thomas and
Mary L "of Easton" on 2 Feb 1748 at Wootton Rivers. I have niggling
doubts now in my mind about Old and New Style dates, and won't be
satisfied until I've made another trip to Trowbridge. It would be very
nice if there turned out to be two sons of Thomas and Mary named John,
because this could explain the John L "of Wootton Rivers" who married
Elizabeth HANCOCK at Burbage on 12 Oct 1777, and incidentally tie in
lots more LOVELOCKs to the LIEFLOCK Line.

ww. John L c: 21 Aug 1723 was bur: 13 Nov 1799 at Milton Lilbourne.

xx. Elizabeth HOOPER was bur: 1 Jul 1831 at GB.

yy. Sarah daughter of Elizabeth above m: Samuel WAITE 17 Oct 1838 at
Buttermere.

zz. John son of Sarah above had a sp: Hannah UNKNOWN, and d: 21 Apr
1928 at Inkpen, Berks. They had seven children: George b: Abt 1866, d:
27 Feb 1945 sp: Ellen UNKNOWN child George - no details, Sarah b: Abt
1868, Ellen b: Abt 1871, d: 3 Jun 1946, John b: Abt 1873, Thomas b:
Abt 1876, d: 29 Aug 1952, Eliza b: Abt 1880, and Kate b: Abt 1883, d:
8 Aug 1962. All events were at Inkpen.

aaa. John L c: 9 Apr 1819 was bur: 12 Mar 1822 at GB.

bbb. Thomas brother of John above probably bur: 18 Feb 1869 although
his age is quoted in the Burial Register as 47.

ccc. The spouse of Susannah Ann daughter of Thomas above was James
FRENCH.

ddd. James L c: 15 Jan 1826 was bur: 14 May 1897 at GB.

fff. Charles the son of James L and Honor GIGG was bur: 27 Dec 1923 at
GB. Sp was Sarah Ann UNKNOWN. They had five children: Walter John
Edward c: 15 Jun 1873 at GB, Elizabeth Ellen c: 24 Jun 1875 bur: 27
Jun 1875 both at GB, Charles Henry b: Abt 1882 at GB, Frederick Albert
b: Abt 1885 at GB d: 8 Aug 1915 in Belgium sp: Charlotte A UNKNOWN,
and Ernest William b: Abt 1888 at GB.

ggg. William John L brother of Charles above sp: Flora UNKNOWN had
four children: Frederick William b: Abt 1879, Walter James b: Abt
1880, Flora b: Abt 1884 and Kate b: Abt 1887, all at Hungerford.

hhh. Richard L brother of William John above was Richard Henry L. Sp:
Sarah Frances MEADHAM. They had six children: William John c: 16 Feb
1886 at GB bur: 3 Mar 1886 at GB, Thomas Henry c: 26 Jan 1887 at GB
bur: 10 Mar 1887 at GB, Francis Henry c: 7 Dec 1889 at GB bur 10 Mar
1890 at GB, Rose Winifred Bertha c: 3 Sep 1891 at GB bur: 23 Jan 1892
at GB, Oliver Richard c: 28 Nov 1893 at GB m: Sep 1/4 1919 Rhoda Mary
UNKNOWN children William Oliver Edgar Richard c: 19 Sep 1920 at EG and
Joyce Mary c: 29 Mar 1925 at EG (born at Wexcombe), Edgar Henry b: Abt
1897 at Bedwyn Common c: 14 Jan 1898 at Savernake m: Sep 1/4 1923 sp:
UNKNOWN.

iii. Frederick Thomas L c: 5 Sep 1884 and Charles Janes L c: 5 Aug
1887 are incorrectly entered as the sons of Richard Henry above and
are actually the sons, already recorded, of Richard L and Millicent
FRIBBENCE.

jjj. Jane L b: 21 Sep 1859 was actually Sarah Jane.

kkk. John L c: 4 Jun 1862 was bur: 30 Mar 1904 at GB. I have attached
