There are a number of PR entries for baptisms of children of Richard Lovelock and wife Mary.

However, there is evidence that the wife's name has been incorrectly recorded and should be Jane (Wyld).

Here are Graham Lovelock's notes on the subject:

1891 Census at 297 Harding, GB -

Richard + Jane + Mary + Thomas + Charles + Elsie

Children's ages 13, 6, 3 and 1.

Obviously, I decided that the PR contains some uncorrected errors. Goodness knows why the incumbent referred to Jane as Mary - it was not as if there WAS a couple named Richard and Mary having children at the same time, if I am right, or even a Mary married to some other Lovelock.

Additional evidence for consideration, with respect to the spread of years for their family:

1901 Census at Harding, GB -

Richard + Jane + Mary + Thomas + James + Elsie + Edith + George

Children's ages 23, 16, 13, 11, 8, 4.
