A collection of John Lovelocks born about 1740

Robert Sterry 9-Oct-05

Sparsholt
1823 Apr 9 John Loveluck, Sparsholt, aged 84
I assume this John is likely to be the one baptised in 1738 at Wroughton on the Lyneham line. This John may be the one who married Christian King at Sparsholt in 1761 and baptised children there from between 1762 to 1769.

Etchilhampton
1743 Apr 17 John s. Abra & Anne Lovelock
Currently placed on the Lyneham Line, but we don't have a marriage or burial for him.

Wroughton
1740 Apr 24 John Lovelock, s John & Elizabeth
However, there is a burial at Wroughton which is may be this John L: 1741/42 Mar 18 John Lovelock but this could be another John since no age is given.

And of course not to forgot [John Lovelock's] candidate in Buckinghamshire:

Great Marlow
Marriages 1773 Sep 26 Martin Lovelock of the parish of Hambleton & Ann Lappeth spinster of this parish. By banns. Wit: John Lovelock

Martin Lovelock and Ann baptised their children at Hambleden between 1774 and 1798.

Hambleden
There is a likely baptism for this Martin also in Hambleden in 1748, the son of Thomas Lovelock and Elizabeth. He indeed had a brother John baptised at Hambleden in 1746 who might have been the witness to his marriage. This John could conceivably have been born abt 1740 and later married Mary Whitwick.

Bray St Michael
Burials 1813-1835(BTs); 1813-1888 (Berkshire Burial Index 2002) 1827
Aug 26 John Lovelock, Marlow, Co Bucks, 84 years

Bray appears to be roughly 8 miles by road from Marlow. The age fits John baptised at Hambleden in 1746. However, there is a very suitable John to match this burial who married an Elizabeth Oxlade in 1774 and baptised children at Bray between 1775 and 1793. This is therefore not likely to be the same John who married Mary Whitwick as they were also baptising children between 1779 and 1793.

1739 Oct 21 John son of Thomas & Mary Lovelock [This is possible but at least 40 miles by road to Wallingford. It's also the John that James Loveluck thinks is a likely candidate for the John he is searching for his line]

Can we find a suitable first marriage - assuming John who married Mary Whitwick married twice - for a John Lovelock say between 1760 and 1779 in Berkshire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire or Buckinghamshire?
