Just to update...Elizabeth was with both Stephen and his brother Elijah (and not Elias). Elizabeth's son Elijah (sonny),my children's gg grandfather,was definitely the son of Stephen. Gosh,its been so confusing!

Thank you so much for your reply. I was already aware of most of what you wrote,and certainly I knew that Brian, too grew up in Eastwood. He showed me where he had lived,on land at the bottom of what is now Glenwood Avenue. I wasn't aware however,that Sonny (Elijah) was the son of Elias and not Stephen so that is great information to have - thank you! I will do some research to try to find out if Stephen & Matilda were indeed the parents of Elias/Stephen,but in the event that I cannot confirm that for sure,is it possible that I could get a copy of Elias' birth certificate? That would give his parents names wouldn't it? And if so,where would I be able to order one from? Sorry...so many questions!!

Hi there. I realise this is a fairly old thread but am hoping somebody could help?
My children are from the Loveridge/Stone family and I have been trying to trace their family back for them. Their grandfather was Brian Norman Loveridge ( now sadly deceased) and their Great Grandfather was Elijah (Sonny) Loveridge, son of Elizabeth Loveridge and (I assume) Stephen Stone. After this is where it becomes confusing for me! Brian was my father-in-law and he sometimes spoke to me about his past/family but other than that he wasn't a man of many words lol. I remember him mentioning that technically he was a Stone but that somewhere along the line some of the 'Stone' family became Loveridge's as one of the mothers gave her children her maiden name,refusing to give them their paternal name in protest that her partner would not marry her. I am hoping that someone could kindly fill in for me as to who were the parents of Stephen Stone,so that I can continue to trace back? Additionally,if anyone is tracing to the present,I am happy to help  if I can with info relating to the two sons of Elijah (Sonny) Loveridge and Margaret Jennings (Ronald and Brian).
