Despair Loveridge / Smith

[ScallyW]

Looking at the information about Elizabeth Loveridge, I dont think she was married to either of the brothers who were Stephen Stone and Elias Stone. 

Oooh.  How naughty.

There is another family who I haven't tied in yet with my main Loveridge file...

The presence of these two names implies there is a family connection somehow.

Hi Scally,

Will see what I can find out about John and Saney.

My instinct tells me that this is in fact Despair/Spears and Crisanda.  Faires isn't anyway similar to a word let alone a name and I know that often a F and a S can be mistaken for each other.  I don't have access to the 1911 census records but I would be willing to bet this could be them.  Despair had a son called Cornelius in 1892/3 so that fits as well.

Additionally, I think that the John and Saney I listed above are the same couple who are adapting their names as time passes.

They have a daughter born in 1886 named the same as the mother - so does the 1901 census.
They have an Elizabeth of the same age.
They have a Moses of the same age.
They have a Lech born in 1889 - the 1901 has a Levi born 1887.
They have a Mordager born in 1891 - the 1901 has an Arthur born 1891.

There is the difference in birth places given to take into account though....

Hello Nettie,

 I see you're hard at it again , i've been keeping a close eye on this one as all the people mentioned so far are related to my Smith/Parker/Loveridge family.

 I've been trying to contact my cousin in Norfolk to confirm where Steven Loveridge fits in as his grt grandfather and grt grt grandfather were both Steven Loveridge's, by the way, Steven or Stephen was also known as 'Stefan'. Also Nettie, one of those last names you posted 'Faires' has similarities to the name 'Farey' which was normally used by the Perkins gypsies, and the Heron's and Lovell's used 'Fero' or 'Feriel'
     

Nearly all of these people so far mentioned turn up somewhere around Beds/Bucks/Herts or Cambs, and sometimes Eastwood in Essex where a lot of my family also come from, i've got about 60 different 1911 census's covering all these area's that my cousin emailed me, so i'll look through them later on to see what i can find.

Hi China,

You know me hun  once I start looking, I keep looking to see what I can find.

I know one of the Stephen Loveridges had a daughter born in Bourn Cambridgeshire, lovely old village I remember going to the fair that used to be in the village every year just across the road from where my nan lived.

 Hi Nettie

 I love it around the Cambridge area, it has a certain laid back sort of feeling which i like.

 I can also remember the travelling fair stopping in Toddington once a year, it was great, the owners were the Grey family and the Dean family, i can remember Mr Deans youngest son was named 'James' and he used to drive around the village in his red mustang........aahhhhh........memories, seems like a long time ago now

Anyway!!
 If you don't mind Nettie send me any info on the daughter of Stephen who was born in Bourn and i'll pass it onto my cuz in Norfolk.

Hi China,
I have sent the info to you about Stephens daughter who was born in Bourn.

I think the fair that stopped in Bourn was owned by Henry Manning and one of his brothers Jack, I can remember my Uncle Mick used to work for them when they were in the area.

Like you said memories feels like a life time ago

Despair is my gg grandfather, Elizabeth his daughter my great grandmother.  I have a copy of her daughters birth cert and she states that her name is Elizabeth Loveridge nee Smith, which connects the two names.

She did not marry either of the Stone brothers and all her children had her surname.
