Tolpuddle Martyrs

[Pennie]

Hi ...

I was most interested to read your post - and hence the speedy reply!

I also have a connection to George LOVELESS through the SNOOKs and VINCENTs, but via George's wife.

My direct ancestor, Margaret SNOOK, daughter of Nicholas SNOOK and Margarent VINCENT, had an illegitimate child, Elizabeth SNOOK, in 1798.   Margaret married Joseph SPRACKLEN in 1803 and Elizabeth - as "Elizabeth Snook SPRACKLEN" - married George LOVELESS, leader of the Tolpuddle Martyrs in 1824.  In TM histories she is referred to as "Betsy LOVELESS".

Is this the same connection that you have?

Looking through all of these amazes me to see the amount of people related to each other!!

My Great grandad (x4..I think :S) was Thomas Standfield, We have a massive family tree at home linking everyone together its insane to think about all the people who we are related to in 3 different continents!
