Hi

I am hoping someone might be able to help me with my Lovelady / Botham / Evans / Richards line. Fingers crossed! Any information or connections would be greatly appreciated, as I have hit a brick wall!

Here is what I have so far:

Elizabeth Evans bc1778 in Liverpool married :
1. David Richards 06 October 1815 Saint Peter, Church Street, Liverpool
They had a daughter Mary Richards christened 18 August 1816 Saint Peter, Liverpool

2. Thomas Lovelady (Occupation Cordwainer) 18 Apr 1816 St Anne's CE Gt Richmond St
Elizabeth listed as a widow.

They resided at 40 Copperas Hill in 1841:
Thomas Lovelady age 55 Shoemaker Yes E
Elizabeth age 63 Yes E
Mary Richards age 24 Yes E
Margaret Thompson age 21 Yes E
John age 1 Yes E

and in 1851 according to the index - havent checked the household
LOVELADY ELIZABETH - LAN. LIVERPOOL 557A 2182/3
LOVELADY THOMAS SHOE MAKER LAN. LIVERPOOL 557A 2182/3

1843 trade directory has a Thomas Lovelady boot and shoe maker 40 Copperas Hill and a Mary Lovelady millener and dressmaker of the same address (I wonder if this is actually Mary Richards!)

there is an entry in the 1825 trade directory Thomas Lovelady boot and shoe maker 54 Circus Street - possibly mine?

They had a daughter Margaret Lovelady b c1818 d September 3 1870 (inquest after she was found dead in a cab at Rose Vale - Natural Causes) who married :
1. Charles George Thompson 1839 Q3, Liverpool 20 299
2. James Botham December 11, 1849 St Brides Church, Liverpool (I have the marriage certificate)

James and Margaret had four children (that I know of) I have the Birth Certificates :
James Charles Botham b June 13, 1851 in Lawrence St, Liverpool
Thomas Alfred Botham b August 14, 1853 2 Earl St, Everton
Frederick Botham b October 4, 1856 34 Howe St, Everton
Margaret Emily Botham b 26th November 1860 37 Hankin Street, Liverpool

Additional bits and pieces of information I have come accross to rule in / rule out or general Lovelady :

Interested in the Lovelady's of Copperas Hill, incase I can make a connection - I found these bits:

BURIALS. SS PETER & PAUL'S RC CHURCH.

LOVELADY ELLEN 4 Copperas HILL LIVERPOOL 1862 MAR 31 23

Death
