The Lieflock Line, Wootton Rivers and Tangley Trees

The most extensive tree that we have built up is The Lieflock Line with the progenitor Richard Lieflock (Lovelock), who was probably born about 1680 (and died in 1760) and extending to this century. This tree builds on a number of fragments, in particular those centred around Burbage, Easton Royal, Great Bedwyn and Milton Lilbourne, but also includes additional data from Robert Sterry, Graham Lovelock, and from the late Gwen Eastment and others concerning Australian Lovelock emigrants, together with numerous other contributions on specific branches.

The elaboration of the Lieflock Line has been the subject of extensive correspondence between a number of people, and you will find some of the details in the Update History of the Lieflock Line on the main Lovelock Website. However, that update history only covers the period up to March 2005, after which details of updates to the Lieflock Line, and the Wootton Rivers and Tangley Trees (which are linked to The Lieflock Line through marriages), can be found on the What's New page, for the current year, or in the Log Files for less recent updates.

There has been much speculation about where the Richard who is presented as the progenitor of the Lieflock Line, and who married Mary Head in Preshute on 7 Jul 1706, actually originated from. A discussion on the subject is included on the main Lovelock Website.
