Tolpuddle Martyrs

[Rhodie]

Don't forget the Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum has a vast stock of books, and they do mail order too.  Would that book be Tolpuddle - an historial account through the eyes of George Loveless?

I think this may interest you in finding out more about the Mitchell connection with the Tolpuddle Martyrs

LANE - John Lane (1769-1840) was a churchwarden and tenant farmer of the Grove
family at Lower Bridmore, which lies east of Berwick St John. He was born at
Hangar Farm, Eling, near Southampton, the son of John Lane and Betty ATKINS.

Hi
 I have only just come across this site after tracing the family tree for about 4 years. I discovered just over a year ago that James Hammett was my gggg grandfather. This discovery answered a lot of questions about my childhood.

 I can't tell you how proud I am.

I came across some interesting information about him just by browsing the site last night, and have joined tonight!

Did you go to the festival this year? It was amazing - and the first time my daughter and I had been. We were treated like vip's - it was so moving.
Hope to meet some more relatives ! and would love to hear from anyone who has any info about the martyrs... it's now become a family affair!

Kind regards
Kathy

Hi Taff.52

Iwas interested to see Sinnick as one of your surnames. My GG Grandfather was George Sinnick Born 1824. Does he have a connection with the Tolpuddle Martyrs or with you?

Joy sent you a PM on the 28th Jan, you are related by marriage very distantly.

George and James Loveless are distant relations to me.  My 6th great grandfather, John Loveless, is their grandfather.  I only recently discovered this.  Also Their sister Dinniah married Thomas Stanfield.  Very proud to be related to such people and will definitely be attending the festival in 2013.

I think the grandfather of George & James Loveless (TPMs) was John Loveless.  Thomas was their father.

Hi,

I believe I may have a very distant relationship to George loveless through my Vincent/snook line and also to James Hammett through the vin cents.  Still working on the proof.  My main interest is the time spent in Australia by the convicts.  Can anyone give me any clues where to find information on the time spent in Australia?  I live in too sunny Queensland where we desperately need some of your rain.
