It would help if you could give an indication of the area of the country and how you arrived at the possible dates of birth, please  :)

OK - off to Dorset with this.

Jode, have a look at the resources section of the Dorset board, particularly for online records.  You'll be able to look for yourself and enjoy the hunt.  ;)

The record that I found from the Dorset Baptisms is the same as the IGI submitted one that Lydart found - just checked it - familysearch is playing up!

Hi

OPC Dorset has transcribed a marriage of Josiah LOVELESS & Catherine Taylor both of Leigh married 25 October 1777. (Josiah/Joshua?)

And a Leigh death for Joshua LOVELESS aged 74 died 9 Jan 1865 B1791.

Also FindMyPast has baptisms as follows:
20 Mar 1785 William LOVELESS son of Joshua and Kat of Leigh born 2 days
01 Apr 1798 Ann LOVELESS dau of Joshua & Catherine of Leigh born 24 March

Wide spread of dates but do-able...

The Dorset OPC Leigh page has baptisms going back to 1677 and marriages back to 1678 ... should provide you with lots more info if you check it ... (I haven't !)

And Jode, don't forget to consider slightly different spelling when you look at records that old ... i.e. Loveless could be Lovelace ...
