Hello Mark. I am distantly related to the John L baptised 1710 Newent that you mention. Indeed many of the Ls from Dymock, Pauntley, Newent and Churcham are my relatives. In about 1630 my direct ancestors moved from Normansland, Dymock to Aylesmore, Pauntley; if you can find an ancestor from Dymock we are almost certainly related. Over the centuries my family slowly moved eastwards from Dymock to Pauntley and then to Ledbury, Newent and Churcham - this partly represents the migration from rural areas to the towns. Your John L and Elizabeth Brooke certainly lived at Pauntley Court but three of their ten children were born (in 1780, 1782 and 1785) at Castle Farm, Dymock (only 3 or 4 miles from Pauntley Court. Strangely I still have no record of a connection between this L family and my Pauntley and Dymock ancestors. John Loveridge
