    Default Loveridge

    I am new to this site. I saw an entry re Loveridge family whilst researching my family history. I think I may be related to the Loveridge family mentioned in the 1871 and 1881 census. My great grandmother was Sarah Loveridge who belonged to a travelling family who performed acrobatics in fairs around the Glos-mid and south Wales areas. My Sarah Loveridge was born around 1867 and married a Thomas Lynn around 1887 in Swansea South Wales. She still travelled when married as my grandmother Susan Ellen Lynn was born in a caravan in Aberdare South Wales in 1895. My great Uncle was George Lynn who performed as an acrobat. He went to America and came back to perform as a member of an acrobatic trio in the Empire theatre Swansea around 1932-33.

    Does anyone out there know anything about these Loveridges/Lynn's please??? I have come to a full stop and cannot trace anything about sarah's birth. Any help would be much appreciated.

    bebejax,

    Just wondering if you have any other information you can share with us? Do you have any of Sarah's siblings' names? I've helped a fair few Romany ancestors' in the past and believe me they are never easy to trace! Quite often they change first names, age, and places of birth from one census to another, many have nick names which they sometimes use on official records. Makes for complicated searching but at the same time a challenge and interesting.

    If you can find any more info, maybe from older relatives, it will help in the search. Rest assured, folks here will try their best to help.
