Our transcription shows several differences vis-a-vis that of findmypast (fmp) for example, which reflect other data in our possession concerning several members of the household, which fmp would not have considered, and certain 'idiosyncracies' in the way the Head of the Household completed the form:

Shared note

PR extract gives mother's name as Ann. I've assumed this is an error and should read Harriet.

This was confirmed by David Lovelock in email dated 3 Oct 2003. David obtained a certificate for the birth of Francis George Lovelock, which stated:

Francis George Lovelock was born Feb 1, 1882 to George Lovelock and Harriet Lovelock formerly Ruddle.
