Hi All

Thank you so much for your replies

And to find there are a fair few of the family still out there... I am the wife of Bert's son He married Beanie, was an electrician, loved his boys and lived a happy life, sadly he passed too, well over a year ago now... ~ he was such a lovely man , he had the most welcoming hug... ~ I started researching the tree for him some years ago and did find quite a few ~ which he was delighted by  

saroma    Bert told us about Millie, so sad for your loss ...   Yes he kept in touch with Millie and was saddened by her passing ... and yes he was VERY musical and played Piano Accordion ( left handed ) 

We have the photo of Kate ( my husbands Great Grandmother) and her basket of flowers and a couple of John ~ ( My Husband's Grandfather) ~ The older brother Bert had was also named John and he passed away in his twenties ~ he had two children.

Hi and thank you so much for your reply   Another member of the Lovell family   It was Bert who mentioned his sisters, is there possibly a Queenie also  ( as he often mentioned her could be a cousin or distant relation maybe ? Or I may have become confused with all the names, I did find a whole street almost with Lovells  ( William Street)  )  As mentioned above to saroma ~ we have the photo of Kate and a couple of John and one of the oldest son who passed young.
 John Lovell married twice... the second was to Maud Mary Barrett,  Bert's mother ( had great difficulty locating her ... could be she was married before... or from Ireland) ~ I do know she often left and 'went on her wanders' as Bert put it...
( incidentally I also have Romany in my Ancestry ~ I did not find this out till researching my own tree... There is a photo of Bert playing the accordian on my Ancestry.co.uk Page and some other information I have collected http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/51575405/family

Hi, I am fairly sure the above are my 2nd G Grandparents, William Walker born abt 1833 at Stepney, Middlesex, England and Brittania Walker born abt 1837 at Bethnal Green according to the 1871 Census they have a son Edward born abt 1862 at Poplar, Middlesex, (my G Grandfather) which is the only one I can find that's about right with Father's name and marriage certificate of Edward and Frances Milson. I am unable to find a marriage for Brittania and William, not on Ancestry and I have looked and looked, they are also in an 1881 census, is there any way I can find out a marriage for them ?

Thank you

Kind regards
