Hello Denise,

  Spanish side to the Lovett family ?? well that's a new one on me, although I once went to Barcelona, does that count ?? I've never heard mention of any Spanish connection, but, there is a French connection , a George Lovett married a French girl in about 1820 in St Malo I think it was, and she gave him 2 son's born in St Malo and Calais, they came back to the UK in about 1827 settled in Croydon, then later to the Redbourn area of Hertfordshire.

There is also a faint Italian connection, Derek Lovett, b.1922 d.1968 was with the RAF during the war, stationed in the Naples area and brought back, and married an Italian girl, I'm in contact with their 2 daughters, one lives about 35 miles from me, the other in North Carolina in the US.

Regards,

 Bob

Hi Mrs Dickson

My name is Denise Borrell, my Grest Great Grand Mother was Charlotte Hooker, she w as married to William Lovett
her father was Henry Hooker, son of Zachariah Hooker, I was surprised in reading you were living in the Hooker family home.

I am interested in finding pout more about them, like what was their home like, what was their village like, what was their lives like, my Greast Grand Father Henry Lovett was Henry Hooker's grand son.

If by any chance you have any photos I would be happy to pay for the copying of them, but would send the moneyt first, if that is possible.

I was also trying to find out information on Lovett's farm in the same place and also Brydans Camp,
there is so much to find out.

Thank you in advsance

Bev J, this is slightly spooky - I've just joined RootsChat because I stumbled across a reference to the Hookers in the 1850's and 60's.....here they are again! Not sure whether my lot are a bit too late for you, but they are very likely to have been part of the same large farming family in the mid-19thc. They lived in what is now my house, which is what brought me to the site. Let me know if that's of any interest and whether I can help out with more info. I can certainly tell you where they were and more about their village because I live here!

Hi Denise

MrsD here. Thanks for your message - happy to help if I can, but the Hooker who lived in my house in the 1850's and 60's was David Hooker, so I'm not sure whether he's the exact one you're looking for. I think Zacharias was an earlier branch of the tree, although I'm sure they were all part of the same family round these parts. Do you want to take a look at your tree and let me know? I'd willingly email you a few photos if you're still interested - it's no problem to go out and snap away!

Incidentally, Bridens Camp (as they spell it now) is just up the road from here - it's a tiny, tiny little place. If you look it up on Google maps you'll see that it's virtually just a pub and maybe a few houses. There's also a Lovetts End Farm (still a farm) which is on the outskirts of my village....the one you're after, I assume?

Best wishes
