LOVERIDGE/ROWLS or ROW ? (General)

Hi John, thanks very much for your reply.

I'm not sure we're talking about the same John & Elizabeth having children from 1780 onwards - Elizabeth Brooke was born/bapt in 1711 at Bromsberrow while her husband John died in 1760 at Redmarley.

I know of six children that they had (Ann, William, Elizabeth, Richard, Mary, Thomas), all of whom were baptised at Redmarley between 1740 and 1756. But there's no mention of Pauntley, so I'd be thrilled to see any records that link them up with the family at Pauntley Court. I can't find a will for John, while Elizabeth was presumably left in a state of relative poverty for her brother left her a small annuity in his will, proved 1786. She died in 1800 and was buried at Bromsberrow, possibly in the Brooke family vault.

It's maddening to find so many Loveridges all in one small geographical area and not be able to work out where my John fits in! If you have any further pointers, please let me know.

Mark
