Present at her death was one Thomas LOVEGROVE, of the same address: his relationship to her is not yet clear, but was quite possibly a son. They had Catherine. #14# Catherine was baptised in 1776 and died in 1856. #13# Joseph married Sarah GARDENER at Old Sodbury in 1773. Joseph was known as the "Honest Lawyer". He was sometime Coroner for the City of Gloucester. He left money in Chancery for some particular object, but for lack of documentation the disbursement was never made.

Joseph died on the 26th June 1857 and was buried in the churchyard of St.James The Great at Cranham, his memorial reading IN MEMORY OF JOSEPH LOVEGROVE OF THIS PARISH WHO DIED JUNE 26 1857 AGED 77 YEARS His will was proved in November 1857. Elizabeth was buried in the same tomb, her memorial reading ALSO OF ELIZABETH WIFE OF THE ABOVE WHO DIED AUG 24 1862 AGED 76 YEARS Administration of her will was granted to her daughter Elizabeth, as follows: 3 October 1862 (Effects under œ300). The Will of Elizabeth LOVEGROVE late of Cranham in the County of Gloucester Widow deceased who died 24 August 1862 at Cranham aforesaid was proved at the principal Registry by the oath of Elizabeth LOVEGROVE of the City of Gloucester Spinster the Daughter the sole Executrix. Their joint tomb measures 7ft x 3ft 6in x 4 ft and is surrounded by an area of granite chippings 12 ft long and 9 ft wide. It was once surrounded by iron railings, now removed. Many other members of the family are also interred in the same tomb, the inscriptions reading:- IN MEMORY OF GEORGE CUFF LOVEGROVE WHO DIED APRIL 28 1862 AGED 40 YEARS ALSO OF HENRY THEODORE LOVEGROVE WHO DIED JAN 7 1877 AGED 40 YEARS ALSO SAMUEL LOVEGROVE OF DOWN HATHERLEY WHO DIED MAY 6TH 1881 AGED 69 YEARS ALSO OF EDWIN LOVEGROVE SON OF THE ABOVE WHO DIED MARCH 181?

OF GLOUCESTER AND SENIOR SURGEON OF GLOUCESTER INFIRMARY DIED AUG 1861 AGED 84 YEARS Their children were George, John, Samuel, Edwin, Cornelius, George Hymenius and Elizabeth. #15# George is said to have been baptised on the 10th of October 1807. However, the IGI gives the date as 17th January 1808. This difference appears to be due to a confusion over the calendar, for, according to the Old Style Calendar (for which the new year started in April), the 10th month of 1807 was what we now call January 1808. There would have been a mismatch of about seven days, as well, due to other changes. Although the change in the calendar had occurred some fifty years earlier, in 1756, it was still quite common for dates to be given 'Old Style' well into the 19th Century. If the date was given as "the 10th day of the 10th month 1807" (in Old Style) then this could have been mistakenly interpreted as referring to October 1807, whereas it was actually January 1808 (New Style). He died on the 16th August 1826. #15# John was baptised at the beginning of 1810, and died on the 27th March 1848. He married Mary Ellen CUFF on the 18th September 1833 in Scarborough (Yorkshire).

He married Catherine Keziah DUCKET, who had been born in 1770 and who came from Southrop, and who died on 19th February 1856. He became a very successful farmer. "About 1802 an agent of the Duke of Norfolk went to Gloucester market to persuade farmers there to come and rent his Sussex farms. John of Cranham fell for it and took Roughey Park, and he was sorry for it sometimes. One year the rent was paid in those heavy George III pennies and sacks of them were taken by wagon and left outside the Agent's office....But the old Duke liked John of Roughey Park and often took meals with him." (Unattributed quotation) He died of concussion of the spine, and was buried in Sun Oak churchyard near Horsham, Sussex.

He was called "Joseph Senior" or "Doctor Joe", and is said to have ridden a black horse on his rounds when it was too muddy for a trap. He lived in London Road, Horsham. "The medical directory lists him as being at Horsham in 1849. He obtained his MRCS in 1828, and became a licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries in the same year: this would have enabled him to practise as a general physician. By 1861, he had moved to Newton House, Church St., Kensington. He apparently worked at Guy's and St.Thomas's Hospitals. Another change of address is recorded to 22 Honiton St., Kensington (no such street exists in 1987) by 1863. The 1868 medical Directory lists him as a registered practitioner living abroad, but gives us no details where. After 1869 his name disappears from the records." (Correspondence from the Wellcome Institute of the history of Medicine.) It is alleged that he was involved in a scandal in 1846 or '47, possibly concerned with a parliamentary election at Horsham, involving accepting invitations to dinner and excusing a tenant of John of Roughey Park (who had recently died) of paying the rent: the amount was small, but the case was tried ultimately in the House of Lords. He was not punished, but he had to leave Horsham for London, where he lived in Lower Phillimore Gardens. He died on the 27th July 1872 at Church Rd., Leyton, of subacute pneumonia and Dropsy. He was buried at St. Mary's churchyard, Horsham, where, in 1967, his tombstone formed part of the path.

He is said to have died on the 22nd June 1875; his death, however, was registered in the June quarter of 1877. According to family talk, he suffered from a form of melancholy. His wife, Mary WELLS (it is not yet clear whether "Wells" was her surname), was born in 1805 and died on 20 September 1884. She was buried beside Samuel Henry in Rusper.

The other had a given age of 77: her death was registered in Berkhampstead. He farmed Gardiners Farm, Rusper, which was of 50 acres. He employed 2 men.

Administration of the effects of Samuel Henry LOVEGROVE late of Gardener's Farm in the Parish of Rusper in the County of Sussex Farmer who died 22 June 1877 at Gardener's Farm was granted at Chichester to Mary LOVEGROVE of Gardener's Farm Widow the Relect. Their children were Albert Samuel, Henry James, Elizabeth, Harriett, Jane, Alice, and Clara. #16# Albert Samuel was baptised at Rusper on the 21st June 1840. He married at Steyning in 1877Jun, his death being registered at Blandford in 1898Mar at the age of 57. #16# Henry James was born in July 1846, being baptised in Horsham on the 16th August 1846, and died on 21st December 1848, being buried in Rusper churchyard. #16# Elizabeth was born in 1834 #16# Harriett was born in 1836 and married Cornelius WALES in Rusper on the 16th August 1857. #16# Jane was born in 1838, being baptised in Slinfold on the 29th December 1838. #16# Alice was baptised in Rusper on the 11th June 1843 #16# Clara was baptised in Rusper on the 7th January 1849. She died in June 1851. #15# William James, of Roughey Park, was baptised at Horsham on 26th January 1816. He died a bachelor in 1881. #15# David is said to have been born in 1812, but was baptised in Horsham on the 26th January 1816. His first wife was Hannah BULLEN, whom he married in Horsham on 17th June 1833. She was born in 1812 and died in the early 1850's. Their children were Martha, John, Matilda, Caleb, Thomas, David, and Charles Louis His second wife was Mary WORSFOLD, whom he married in Horsham on the 19th June 1855. She had been born in 1812 and died in 1899; she was buried in Sun Oak Churchyard. Their only known child was Clement Leonard. David was a farmer, sometime of New House Farm, and later of Highlands Farm, Roughey Park, Sussex. New House Farm, at Horsham, was of 140 Acres: he employed 6 men and 1 boy. He moved to Highlands Farm after Hannah's death. He died in 1898, and is buried at Sun Oak churchyard. #16# Martha was baptised in Horsham on 1833Sep27. #16# John was baptised in Horsham on 1835Feb04 #16# Matilda was baptised in Horsham on 1837Aug13 #16# Caleb was baptised in Horsham on 1839Sep29, his death being registered there in 1865Sep. #16# Thomas was baptised in Horsham on 1842Jul10 #16# David was baptised in Horsham on 1844Dec08 #16# Charles Louis was baptised in Horsham on 1848Jul16. He married there in 1879Mar and died there in 1924Sep. #16# Clement Leonard was baptised in Horsham on 1857Mar01. Since there is no reference to a "Clement Leonard" anywhere in the public records, he is presumably the "Leonard Clement" whose birth was registered in Horsham during 1852Sep. Was he then the Leonard Clement whose death, at the age of 86, was registered in Horsham during 1935Dec ? (There has only ever been the birth registration of one Leonard Clement). If so, then the following entry in the Somerset House Wills Index is his:- Leonard Clement, Effects œ186/16/4, of Weston's Cottage, Warnham, who died 1935Nov19 at 78 Crawley Road Horsham. Will proved 1935Dec12; exor Alfred George KNIGHT. #15# George Lewis was born in 1816, and died in 1895. He married Eleanor HAMMOND in Horsham on the 26th February 1838. She had been born in 1806. He was known locally in Horsham as "Jockey George" because of his frequent rides on horseback to Gloucester to collect his father's rents there. Their children were John, George Lewis and Eleanor. #16# John was baptised in Horsham on the 21st October 1838. #16# George Lewis was baptised in Horsham on the 13th March 1862, although the family tree shows him as being born in 1845. #16# Eleanor was baptised in Horsham on the 15th March 1841. She was known as "Old Nell", and lived at North Parade, Horsham which she had inherited from her aunt Mrs Edmund KING (nee LOVEGROVE) in 1892. When she died, this property was left to a granddaughter of her father: it is not known who this person's parents were, but she eventually married a solicitor called BYLES. It is said that considerable sums of money were found about the property when it was eventually pulled down. #15# Lawrence was born on 28th June 1822, and baptised at Horsham on the 19th February 1823. He died a bachelor. #15# Leonard Lewis was supposedly born in 1825: there is, however, confusion over the date. He emigrated to Australia in 1849. An unattributed press obituary reads " Leonard Lewis LOVEGROVE whose death occurred at Strathallyn, South Australia, at the age of 96, was a native of Roughey Park, Sussex. He came to South Australia in the ship CAPHURNIA, arriving on Good Friday 1849. He had 3 sons and 3 daughters." According to Peter FARRELL, Leonard Lewis was born on 5 April 1817, and died on 15 April 1916. This is inconsistent with an age at death of 96. He married twice. His first wife was Mary CREED, from County Cork, who had been born in 1825, and who died in 1881 at Spring Farm, near Meningie. They married in 1852 at Blakiston (Adelaide Hills). Their children were Thomas William, John Duckett, Catherine Margaret, Alfred G. Ernest, Edmund Leonard, Elizabeth Mary, Francis Olive. According to Kit LOVEGROVE, he studied medicine for three years before going to Australia. After their marriage, he and Mary settled near Poltalloch and set up an inn to cater for travellers on their way through the Coorong to the newly-opened South-Eastern districts. The area was flooded during the major floods of 1870, so they moved to Spring Farm, near Menangie (which means "mud"). They sold the Inn. (Kit had a photograph of Leonard Lewis on a horse called "Needle".) Still according to Kit, there was a school two miles north of Menangie which was run by a Mr SHERWOOD. Leonard Lewis's children went there, riding horses and "never opening any gates, just jumping over fences". [ Note that this is remarkably similar to the comment made about Leonard Lewis's sisters, back in England. ] His second wife was Rebecca KEOGH, whom he married on 15 April 1882. She was a widow. She died on 20 April 1912, and was buried at Strathalbyn. On their marriage certificate, his age is given as 54 (which would place his birth in 1827/8) and hers was 44. He was a widower, and was a stockholder by profession. According to the South Australian Dictionary of Biography, he was a veterinary Surgeon and a poundkeeper. #16# Thomas William was born on 3 May 1858 and died on 3 September 1937. He is buried at Meningie. His entry in the South Australian Dictionary of Biography states that he was born at Lake Alexandrina, and that he was a dairy farmer. It also states that he was born on 3 May 1857. According to Kit, he attended a school, just outside of Meningie, which was also attended by his future wife, Jane Anne MACLEAN. When a new school was opened, in about 1870, in Menangie, Thomas William bought the old schoolhouse for use as a dwelling. He married Jane Anne MACLEAN on 10 April 1891 at Milang. She had been born on 24 September 1865, and died on 29 January 1961. Her parents were Ewan and Christina (nee BLACK). According to Kit, Thomas William and Jane Anne did not live in the old schoolhouse for long after their marriage, since he went to manage Tatiara Station, where they stayed until, it is presumed, about 1898. Their children were Mona May, Laurie, Thomas, Leonard Hugh, John Brook, Kathleen Gladys ("Kit") and Muriel. #17# Mona May was born in 1 May 1896, and married Clarence James FARRELL on 14 April 1915. She died on 12 June 1989. Their children are Thomas Henry, Peter James, Marjorie Mona and Clive John. #18# Thomas Henry FARRELL was born on 10 February 1917. He married Mary CARR, their children being Peter and Jennie. #19# Peter FARRELL was born in 1948. #19# Jennie FARRELL was born in 1952. #18# Peter James FARRELL was born on 17 April 1922. He married Janette Therese ROGERS on 14 April 1945. She had been born on 2 November 1923. Their children are Roger James, Ivor Jonathan, Gabrielle Lovegrove and Lewis Elmore. Peter James placed an entry in the 1989 edition of the Genealogical Research Directory, asking for information about Sussex LOVEGROVEs from 1800-1850. This was seen by the present author, Roger, who had also placed an entry asking for information about any LOVEGROVEs. This led to an exchange of information, upon which the first revision of this History is based. In July 1989, Peter James is living at 13 East Bank Avenue, Collaroy Beach, New South Wales 2097, AUSTRALIA (tel: 612-971-8095). #19# Roger James FARRELL was born on 8 September 1946. #19# Ivor Jonathan FARRELL was born on 28 July 1949. #19# Gabrielle Lovegrove FARRELL was born on 30 August 1953. #19# Lewis Elmore FARRELL was born on 12 October 1958. #18# Marjorie Mona FARRELL was born on 10 January 1925 #18# Clive John FARRELL was born on 23 December 1927 and died, without marrying, on 19 June 1988. #17# Laurie #17# Thomas was born on 2 November 1899.

He was a very kind old man and his little wife Esther was very hospitable. She rarely went out and Uncle Felix used to do her personal shopping, going in his trap to Petworth to buy children's shoes for her tiny feet. They had no family and lavished their affections mainly on food." Esther died, at the age of 75, in the Midhurst R.D. during 1927Dec.

He retired to Roughey Park in about 1897, after losing heavily through three successive droughts. An unattributed quote says "My Grandfather John of Faygate paid the debts of the Innkeeper and said if he would give him his 18 year old daughter in marriage he wouldn't want the money back. So poor Mary WELFARE had no say in the matter and thought her husband was like a great bear with his bushy beard, and found life very hard at first, or so she told my mother."

He became a schoolmaster in Perth, Western Australia. #19# John #19# Jean #18# Thora was born in 1916, and married Basil TOZER, a scientist of Wantage. It is worth recording that, while they were on holiday at the Edrachilles Hotel (a small hotel with about 20 rooms) in Badcall Bay (Scotland) in June 1987, they played a game of Scrabble against another couple. During conversation, they mentioned that they came from Wantage. "Really," said the other woman, " my husband is researching his family name - and that's where they come from." Thora naturally asked what their name was, and was told "LOVEGROVE". The 'other couple' were the present author and his wife (Roger and Sandra). It is from Thora that a lot of the information upon which this History is based was obtained. Her address in 1989 was 1a High Street, Drayton Village, Near Abingdon, OXON; her telephone number is 0235-31389. Thora died of a heart attack on 29 March 1990, and is buried in Drayton Village. #18# Brenda Mary, of Hove in Sussex, was born in the Croydon Registration District on 4 August 1907 and became a nurse.

The said testator duly made and published a second codicil in writing to his said will, bearing date the 19th day of April, 1830, which was executed and attested in such manner as was then by law required for passing real estate, which so far as is material to this suit was in the words and figures following, that is to say:- "And I direct that in case the funds provided for the payment of my debts and legacies shall not be sufficient for that purpose the deficiency (if any) shall not fall on my daughters or any of them, nor upon their husbands or descendants, nor upon my said wife, but shall be borne and paid wholly and in equal shares by my sons, and shall be charged upon the property given, devised or bequeathed to my sons respectively, whether absolutely or for life, with remainder to their respective children (if any), or otherwise; and in all cases in which I have given or devised any real estate or hereditaments, whether freehold, copyhold or leasehold, or of whatsoever tenure, by my said will or prior codicil to any one of my sons for life, with remainder to or for the benefit of his children or issue, either by will as he may appoint, or among all such children or issue, or otherwise for their benefit, my will is that in case it shall happen that any such son shall die either in my lifetime or after my decease without leaving any child or any issue of a child living at the time of my decease or at the time of his own decease respectively, as the case may be, then in each and every such case the said real estate and hereditaments so given or devise as last aforesaid and respecting which I may have made no further limitations beyond the issue of the tenant for life shall at the time of my death or at the time of such my son's death as last aforesaid respectively, as the case may be, go unto and be divided amongst the rest of all my seven children who may at the respective time last aforesaid be living and the lawful issue then living (if any) of such of my said seven children as may be then dead as equal shares as tenants in common and not as joint tenants, and according to the division per stirpes and not per capita; and I do hereby in every such case give and devise the same real estate and hereditaments to such children and issue of children accordingly and to their respective heirs, executors, administrators and assigns respectively and absolutely for ever." 4. The said testator died in the year 1830 without having revoked or altered his said will and codicils or either of them, so far as respects the devise of the estates the subject of this suit, save as herein applies; and the said will and codicils were on the 18th day of October, 1830, duly proved in the proper Ecclesiastical Court by John Jupp, John Clement, John Richardson Boxall, William Heath and John Heath, who were respectively the executors and trustees thereby appointed thereof. 5. The funds by the said testator provided for the payment of his debts and legacies proved amply sufficient for the payment of respectively, and the same respectively have long since been paid thereout by the said testator's said executors and trustees; and the direction in the said will whereby in the event of such funds proving insufficient for payment of such debts and legacies the same were to form a charge upon, amongst other estates devised by the said testator, the estates and premises the subject of this suit, has never taken effect or been resorted to. 6.

The said John Heath about the year 1858 amongst other things granted and assigned all his estate and interest in remainder, expectancy, reversion, or otherwise under the said will of the said testator James Heath deceased unto the London and County Bank, Petworth Branch, as a security for advances made and to be made unto him by the said bank to the amount of œ1000 and interest thereon. The said bank now claim to be paid the sum of œ1000 or some part thereof, together with an arrear of interest thereon or on some part thereof, out of the part or share of the said John Heath of and in the copyhold premises the subject of this suit; and subject to the said claim of the said bank the Defendant William Grace, as creditor's assignee of the estate of the said John Heath under his bankruptcy hereinafter mentioned, claims to be entitled to the estate and interest of the said John Heath under the said will. 11. The said London and County Bank is a joint stock company duly registered with unlimited liability, and the said defendant William McKewan is one of the registered public officers of the said company. 12. On the 4th day of March, 1864, the said John Heath was duly adjudicated a bankrupt, and on the 22nd day of that month the Defendant William Grace was duly appointed creditors' assignee under the said bankruptcy of the estate and effects of the said John Heath and such appointment was thereupon or shortly afterwards confirmed by the Commissioner acting in the matter of the said bankruptcy. 13. An attempt has been made by Mr John Rae as the solicitor of the Plaintiffs to induce the Defendants, except the Defendant Thomas Henry Lovegrove, who is in Australia and out of the jurisdiction of this Court, to concur in a sale of the premises the subject of this suit, but such attempt has proved abortive. 14. On the 12th day of March, 1864, a Bill in Chancery intituled "Lovegrove v. Heath" was instituted, which Bill was amended on the 16th day of April, 1864, and in which suit a decree was made bearing date the 28th day of March, 1865.

The Plaintiffs charge that the costs of the Defendants in respect of this suit and of such partition if decreed will be chargeable on their several allotted shares of the said estates, and that the said costs or some part thereof ought if necessary to be raised by a sale of a competent portion of the said shares. 17. The Plaintiffs however charge that a sale of any such separate shares of the said estates will greatly depreciate the value both of such shares and of the remaining portions of the said estates, and that it will be for the benefit of all the persons beneficially interested in the said estates that the whole thereof should be sold. 18.
