The film ends here. The IGI entres however continue until 1874. The new LDS Vital Records-British Isles CD-ROMs overlap with the IGI here (presumeably because the IGI entries were not submitted throught the extraction program but are personal entries. This is also indicated by the inclusion of spouses which are not shown in the original registers.) The CD-ROM baptism entries are from 1841-1885 and clearly pick up from where the old LDS extractions in the IGI end. There are some variations between these IGI entries and the CD-ROM entries.

The LDS film ends at this point (in fact where the IGI entries end) and the new LDS Vital Records-British Isles CD-ROMs seem to pick up and include marriages 1755 – 1883+.

It looks like Thomas Lovelock who married Agnes Marchman in 1604 lost  his first wife in 1612. They may have had children elsewhere. Thomas then seems to have married a Mary Unknown somewhere else and had three children baptized in Great Bedwyn between 1617 and 1620. Two of these children died in the same year of 1623. A plague year perhaps? Thomas himself died in 1625 and Mary seems to have remarried an Edward Benett (Bonnet?) in 1628.  Her new husband then himself seems to have died in 1637. Rather a lot of conjecture but possibly how it went.  What an unfortunate family!

After a presence in Great Bedwin of some 200 years, the Lovelocks seem to disappear from the parish between 1760 and 1800.

The Lovelock variants (Loveluck, Lovelocke, Leflake) have been copied as written.

Note the IGI entries for baptisms 1813-1874 include the supposed names of the spouse. The actual parish register entries for the years extracted above do not include the names of the spouse. They are obviously therefore a personal submission.
