| Marriage | Irene married as Irene Mae Lovelock. |
| Note | On 9 Jul 2016 Charlotte Huggins wrote: Irene Mae (or May as we have her) “Lovelock” who married Sidney Jennings in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 1923 is actually Irene May Saunders, the youngest child of George Saunders and Elizabeth Ann Lovelock, rather than William Lovelock and Alice Nutley who were actually her maternal Uncle and Aunt. I don’t have Irene and Sidney’s marriage certificate, however, I do know that the Irene who married Sidney Jennings is my grandaunt. Irene May, or as we called her Aunt Renie, was my Grandfather’s baby sister. She was born in 1904 and baptized on 30 Oct 1904 in Roxeth in Greenford Magna. I believe she was born in the Hendon/Sudbury England area. Likely she listed herself as Lovelock rather than Saunders because of the breakup of her family when she was about 2 years old. Sadly, she wouldn’t have remembered her mother or father because she was so young and she probably didn’t remember or know her true last name. Her mother deserted the family in 1905 and shortly after her father George Saunders died when Irene was still a baby. Her mother remarried after George died and started a new family. Irene and her siblings were orphaned. It appears that her maternal Uncle William Lovelock took her in for a time. Charlotte's Notes: Irene May Saunders and her siblings were orphaned in 1906 when their mother* Elizabeth Ann Lovelock Saunders *deserted them and her husband George Saunders. Irene May was about aged 2. * George Saunders *died on 29 March 1906 from an enlarged liver caused by Alcoholism. Her mother ran off with another man and remarried shortly after George Saunders death, leaving her 9 children without parents. She lived with her new husband and had three more children while her 9 children with George Saunders were split up, some of the younger boys being placed in orphanages, and were then sent to Canada and put to work on farms. The older children either got married or worked as domestics until they were old enough to fend for themselves. Irene May's maternal Uncle William Lovelock (her mother's eldest brother) stepped up and took her in at that time. Interestingly enough at the same time it appears William Lovelock had separated from his wife Sarah Ann White and their children in about 1905 or 1906. William had been married to Sarah Ann for about 19 years. It is also an interesting note and possibly not a coincidence that the mother of the man Elizabeth Ann Lovelock Saunders ran off with had the surname White as well. I do not know whether Elizabeth's new Mother-In-Law was related in any way to William Lovelock's wife Sarah Ann White. The 1911 England Census lists William Lovelock, age 48, House Painter; Irene May Saunders, age 6, Niece; Alice C Nutley, age 34, housekeeper; the housekeeper's son Walter George Nutley age 13; and a nurse child named Mary Josephine Saunders aged 10 months. All were living at 12 Grove Place in Ealing, Middlesex. It is also of note that the 1901 England Census shows Sarah Ann White Lovelock was living with Elizabeth and Evans Forster which was her sister and brother-in-law and their family at 263 Victoria Duck Road. Sarah Ann was listed as a Domestic Servant so she was living there. Sarah Ann had two of her younger children with her, daughter Lilly aged 6, and son Ernest aged 6 months. I don't yet know if William Lovelock was divorced from Sarah Ann White Lovelock before he packed up his new "wife" Alice C Nutley, her son Walter George, and Irene May Saunders, and emigrated to Canada in 1912. Records show that William, Alice, Irene and George -- All under the name Lovelock arrived in Montreal on board the Royal Edward from Bristol England on 28 August 1912. Nor do I know if William and Alice Nutley were actually married when they left England. |
