Were your ancestors Tolpuddle Martyrs?

Apologies if this information has already been posted elsewhere, but anyone with ancestors who were Tolpuddle Martyrs (or connected to them) might like to know that Bill Douglas's feature film "Comrades" (the feature film made by Channel 4 back in 1986) has just been re-released by the British Film Institute to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the Martyrs.  (Full details can be found on Google, Internet Movie Data Base, Amazon etc.)

My own connection to the Tolpuddle Martyrs is through my 3 x great-grandmother, Margaret SNOOK, whose illegitimate daughter Elizabeth SNOOK married their leader, George LOVELESS (she is played by Imelda Staunton in the film!).

You probably have this already but I saw a book for sale on Ebay (yesterday I think) on the Tolpuddle Martyrs with the author named as a Loveless from memory.

My cousin (x times) was James Hammett TPM.  Welcome hearing from anyone who is also a Tolpuddle Hammett.

Don't forget the Dorset Machine Breakers of 1830.  There is a very good book written by Jill Chambers which tells the story of the 1830 riots ISBN 1-903049-02-4

The autumn and winter of 1830/1831 saw some of the worst ever disturbances in rural England.  The trouble started in Kent and quickly spread to other counties in Southern England including Dorset.

A special Commission was held at Dorchester in January 1830 which reesulted in the imprisonment of a number of men and the transportation of some of them to Australia.

The book gives details of the men who were tried for machine breaking and arson during 1831.  Deatils include the offence, sentence, description of the men, and in many cases family details.

There was a Luffman who was involved with the machine breakers in I thinlk Wiltshire. I believe that he was sentenced to 7 years transportation which was commuted after representations from his employer.

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?
