Thomas LOVELOCK was a Railway Porter at Reading Station, which is not far away. I am told that in those times the trains were owned by different companies and Reading was a terminus station.The passengers had to change trains of different companies to get to their destinations and the Porters were kept busy helping the passengers to move from train to train. Whether the terraced house was a Railway employees rental accommodation or privately rented I don't know, but my Mum is sure they didn't own the house.

Marriage

From Colin Borrott-Maloney: Daphne's and my LOVELOCKs lived at 9 Charles Street, Reading from sometime after the parents' marriage in 1874 till the parents' deaths in 1928 and 1937. Thomas LOVELOCK was a Railway Porter at Reading Station, which is not far away.

Notice it has been transcribed with two Marys to confuse things but Bob also sent me a pdf file for the actual page and looking at that the second name is more like Lissy (or Cissy as it should be)

Census

{As John noted, the transcription given by "The Genealogist" has both May and Lissy as 'Mary', although the writing is quite clear. See also Colin's comments. Other minor omissions from the transcript vis a vis the image appear to be: (i) The birthplace entered for HoH Thomas has a second word after 'Hartley'; it is unclear but seems to me to begin with 'R'. There are several Hartley XXXs in Hampshire of course, and we have this man as born in Hartley Wintney; Genuki's information on that parish includes "...Hartley Rao is in this parish..." (1868 National Gazetteer), so I think that is probably what was intended. (ii) 'William' is clearly recorded as 'William T', and his occupation as 'Gardener's boy' rather than 'Gardener'. (iii) Like her older siblings, Lissy (transcribed by "The Genealogist" as 'Mary' and aged 1) is recorded as 'Scholar' (via "do"), although possibly the "?" in the transcription is intended to query this, given her age.
