LOVELL branches

[Zelley]

Discussions about the Somerset connections would be interesting,  And, do they connect with the Dorset branches?

I have Somerset Lovell's in my tree. They are from around Ashwick, near Shepton Mallet.

The earliest one I have got is James Lovell,(I think he was roughly born around 1770) he married Dinah Burr.

They had three children as far as I know:

Job Lovell (circa. 1800)

Mary Lovell (b.1803)

Susanna Lovell (b.1794

Job married An Fear 9th June 1820, they had seven children -Mary, Ann, Dinah, Jane, Job, James, and another James. (the previous James died in infancy)


James is my Great Great Great Grandfather.

At the moment I'm trying to trace the Lovell family back a bit futher to see if the Dorset branch fits in with the Somerset on, but I have seem to hit a brick wall.

Any further finds trying to connect the Dorset & Somerset families

1891 - residing somewhere in Dorset was Thomas Lovell, a gardener from Somerset.  His spouse Elizabeth was from Yeovil.

Stepping back to Portesham, Dorset (1861)
William & Ann Lovell's son Daniel (age 7) was born in Somerset

Wimborne, Dorset (1861)
the widow Jane Lovell (from Bath)

Any connection to the 1790 marriage of Francis Drake and Ann Lovel?

Hi..
Ive just started researching my stepdads family so havent gone very far back as yet.
But i do know his dads name was norman lovell born 1926 in Devon.
His dad was Reginald Lovell born 1900 also born in Devon.
Norman married a Beatrice Roberts born 1926 in St Agnes. I do have quite a bit on Beatrices side but not alot with Norman.
Any of these names sound familiar?

Hi Ally,
No the names don't ring a bell. My Lovells are back in the 1700's and I haven't gone forwards or back with them yet! All I know is my Lovells were from Upwey, Dorset.
Good luck with your hunting though.

I'm new here, and this is my very first post!

My Uncle is a Lovell.  He's married to my Aunt, so there is no blood connection to me, but I've done a bit of him as part of my wider tree. 

I've found his great-great Grandfather, James Lovell, who was born in Wells, Somerset in 1801 and was a Carpenter's journeyman by trade.

James' son was Edwin Lovell, born 1829, also in Wells and was a Currier's journeyman (One that prepares tanned hides for use) on 1851 census.

Edwin's son was born in Gravesend, Kent in 1862, so the family must have moved, presumably for work.

It's a fascinating hobby - I've only just started, and I'm already hooked!
