No probs Cous
here is your opening statement; (we will wait for tephra to lock part 1);
After much thought I've decided to go with my husbands Romany Loveridge family.
William Loveridge aged 21 married Annie Loveridge aged 19 in the Ledbury district Hereford on the 28/9/1899. Williams Father Thomas Loveridge Tin P?? maker Annie's father Cornelius Loveridge Basket Hawker.
I haven't been able to find them on any census. They went on to have 8 children that I know of:
Annie 16/8/1901 Ledbury Hereford married Christopher Ryalls/Royals
Alice married ?? Smith
Joe/Joney married Caroline Lamb
William married Mary Biddle/Beddle
Helen/Nellie married Leonard Smith (possible cousin)
Becky 25/5/1912 newton Abbott Devon married Bill Smith
Phoebe married Sam Ryals/Royals (brother to Chris)
John married Amelia Hurn/Hearne
I believe Annie's Parents were Cornelius and Valentine Loveridge nee Davis who married 16/8/1875 Highworth Wilts. Valentines father James Davis, and Cornelius father Henry Loveridge.Valentine died 13/8/1900 in hereford. I have Cornelius and other children in 1901:

Charles Loveridge 23 s
Cornelius Loveridge 54 head
Elizabeth A Loveridge 15 d
George W Loveridge 13 s
Henry Loveridge 25 s
Mary A J Loveridge 17 d
I also have this family in 1901 which i think maybe another child of Cornelius and Valentine.

Bertha Loveridge 29 wife
Cornelius Loveridge 28 head
Matilda Loveridge 4 d
Nicholas Loveridge 6 s
Norah Loveridge 3 d
Valentine Loveridge 6 months d
I would love to find more about these family's, in other census, any births or baptisms and anything at all about Williams family as Ive not found them at all, I know you're all great searchers and I'm hoping you can help me out thanks Matilda
