I don't have any exact knowledge but I know the Lovejoy family were very much in evidence in all the Caversham records - formerly Oxfordshire, now Reading. Can you post any specific queries?

I have just checked the National Burial Index for Caversham and there are a total of 136 burials as follows:-
Hemden Road Cemetery, Caversham, 1930-1945, 5 entries
St Peter, Caversham, 1599-1877, 131 entries
These burial entries are far too numerous to list here. If you would like a printout kindly send a postal address by pm.

Lovejoys are complicated by using aliases.  I descend from a Matthias Lovejoy, otherwise Matthias Matthews, Brewer of Reading. There is a book which may be useful: . "John Loveday of
Caversham, 1711-1789" by Sarah Markham.  I've not seen it.  I know next to nothing of the Matthews, or Lovejoys.
