Hi
 It would be nice to confirm whether Thomas & Susan Loveridge are indeed my gggrandparents, on the census for 1871 and working back their ages they would have been born around the early 1820s but i came across a marriage in Tilsworth Bedfordshire between a Thomas Loveridge & Susan Parker in april 1851, the trouble is their ages are both 19yrs on the marriage certificate which would suggest they were both born around the early 1830s. It would be lovely to think i have my gggrandparents marriage certificate but i'm a little troubled over the age discrepancy, i do know that ages of individuals did vary when transcribed and also ages were altered for purposes of marriage etc etc.

Regards
 
A lot of the loveridges changed their name to smith in the war.

Hi,
I`m a Draper traveller,
My grandmothers family were Loveridge.
It was changed during wartime to Smith, so the men didn`t have to go in the army.
My granny was Lavinia(Vina)
Sister Phoebe
Brother Moses(Folky)
Brother Sydney(Nunny)
Brother John
Brother Nelson (Springtime)
Brother Charlie
Father was Mo Loveridge

They lived all over the place.
My granny & grandad Joe & Vina settled in Cottenham,
John and Springtime stayed around Cottenham and Willingham.

Folky stayed around Wisbech

Nunny ended up in St Ives
