The three Lovelucks to reach this magic age were ladies who married into the family:
Ethel Wade who was born on 9 December 1881, married Edward Burton Loveluck of the Glamorgan Loveluck Line in 1907, and died on 25 December 1985.
Evelyn Hillery Collings was born on 16 Jun 1905, married Griffith William Loveluck of the Glamorgan Loveluck Line in 1937, and died on 30 March 2006.
Jean Cavanagh who was born on 30 July 1908, also married Edward Burton Loveluck, in 1945, and died at the age of 100 in 2008. For some reason she changed her name to Jane Richardson Cavanagh before she married Edward and is thus recorded at her death as Jane Richardson Loveluck.
And there is one report whose contents we will possibly never be able to substantiate the complete veracity of:
On 17 Jan 1929 'The Uralia Times' in New South Wales, Australia reported 'William Lovelock, oldest resident of Walcha district died at the aborigines'
reserve last week. His exact age was unknown, but it is believed that he was 111. He has left over 60 descendants.'
