Looks as if Frances Olive born 1873 didn't marry.
Death of Frances Olive Lovegrove 22 Sep 1950 South Australia
Reistered 1946-1950  South Australia
Vol 759 page 5131

thanks for clearing that up Essie. Now we have Leonards details or what the informant thought they were.

Did mary's obit give any details?

So we are missing two daughters.

Here is a son that didn't show before
John Lovegrove born 15 August 1854 Father Leonard mother Mary Creek vol 5 page 32 Adelaide.

The funeral notice for Leonard mentions 3 surviving sons so did John die?

Another researcher has a query about Mary CREED and another "orphan" named Ellen BULLMAN.

As I said - there are two (actually three) Leonard LOVEGROVEs so it's not easy to tell which is which, and not made easier by the Australian Birth Index which doesn't give exact dates for South Australian entries, nor parent names

The Leonard Lewis LOVEGROVE, age 96, in the TROVE announcement of 1916, is, I believe, the husband of Mary (Creed) LOVEGROVE  died 1881 at age 52.   

As Essie shas already pointed out I think the  reference I found in the South Australian Register for a death in 1881 should read Mrs not Mr Leonard LOVEGROVE

Interestingly there is another Death Index entry:
Leonard LOVEGROVE, died 6 Oct 1892, aged 40 (b abt 1852)
Death Place:   Adelaide
Residence Place:   Point Mcleay
Registration Place:   Adelaide, South Australia, page 103, volume 205

Did Leonard marry twice (or even 3 times)??  Probably at least one of one of these is the Leonard who died in 1892.

Leonard LOVEGROVE
Father's Name:   John Lovegrove
Spouse Name:   Rebecca Keough
Spouse's Father's Name:   Robert Stanley
This lady dies in 1912 at Strathalbyn aged 87, and this marriage to Leornard LOVEGROVE appears to be her second marriage.  I note, though that she is not mentioned in the obit.

25 April 1889 at Poonindie (reg Flinders; page 375, volume 159)
Leonard LOVEGROVE
Dinah BUCKSKIN
This couple have a number of children so I would think it is not the right man.

1841 census has  a 'Linnard LOVEGROVE' , male servant, born in county, living at Slinford, Sussex which is about 4 miles from Horsham. At the same address 'Lutwick, Slinfold' is a farmer Thomas LOVEGROVE, his wife and children.  'Linnard' and another servant are living 'over the stables'.  Unfortunately no relationships shown on 1841 census.

1841 at Roughey Park, Horsham, Sussex
John Lovegrove, 65, farmer
Catharine Lovegrove, 63
Lawrence Lovegrove, 18
This address seems to be the same as the place mentioned in the 1916 obit as Leonard's birthplace.  Seems likely this is his parents.

I am descended from Rebecca Keough/Lovegrove, interestingly, Leonard is not mentioned in her obituary!

I'd be interested in hearing from any of the Lovegrove descendants.

Hi...I would just like to add some info about Leonard Lovegrove...my great great Grandfather was Leonard Lovegrove...he married Dinah Ware...they had a son known as Frank...his name might have been Leonard & his middle name Frank...or vice versa.

Frank Sr married Rose Mack...they had 3 sons and 3 daughters...their son named Frank Lovegrove Jr ...is my grandfather...my mother Edna's father.

My great great grandfather Leonard Lovegrove grew up in the area where Leonard Lewis Lovegrove was living...(Lake Alexandrina/Lake Albert area)...I hope this helps
