1841 census or earlier Fonthill Gifford/Tisbury
« on: Thursday 22 September 05 13:47 BST (UK) »
Trying to locate the family of John Lovett born circa 1784.  Married twice.  First wife believed to be Hannah Foakes who died in 1810 Hindon after having two children who died.  Second wife Catherine born 1794 Colburn, Yorkshire.  Children: Henry born 1819 Scorton, Yorkshire; Jane 1821 Yorkshire; Caroline 1822 Yorkshire; William 1824 Whitwell, Yorkshire, Sarah 1826 Yorkshire; Mary Ann 1830 Fonthill; James 1834 Codford St. Peters, Wiltshire.  Believe Catherine was widowed by 1841 but unable to find a death record for John Lovett between 1834 and 1841.  Any parish, record office, census or other records that someone might have with one or more of this family would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi Lynne

Looks like the family was in Fonthill Gifford in 1841 -

Ref HO107/1175/7 Folio 9 Page 10 - Fonthill Gifford

Catherine Lovett - 40 - Female Servant
Caroline Lovett - 18
William Lovett - 16
Sarah Lovett - 13
Mary Lovett - 12
James Lovett - 8
John Lovett - 6

All given as being born outside the county, except for Mary and James. Interesting that John jnr is not born in Wiltshire, since that could well be where they were when John snr died. Typical.....  ;D

I had a look for young John's baptism on the BVRI, but no joy there sorry  :( Perhaps another Rootschatter will have some more ideas

Best wishes

Angela
