Hi Louise

Nice to speak to you again, cous! 

My research is mostly for others ...looking up everyone else's dead rellies ...It's sometimes more fun than my own because I can actually FIND them !! LOL

I am sure your Loveridge's must be somewhere ..Most probably changed their name. I am still struggling to find my Thomas penfold and Sophia Orchard in 1871 and 1881.

Was Annie who married WIlliam Loveridge in 1899, his cousin? When was their eldest child born.....

Hey Louise,

We've spoken a few times before …….. Annie and Wiliam Loveridge are my great grandparents. I was told that they could speak Welsh so I wonder if you need to look over in that direction???

Was also told that a lot of Loveridge's changed their name to Smith in the Gloucestershire area so I wonder if they were called Smith previously?

Hi Posh, its not just in Gloucestershire but all over the country that the Loveridge and Smith surnames are interchangeable.
