Marriage

According to a 'Settlement Examination' dated 3 Oct 1739 at the Borough of Reading John Lovelock was born in Burghfield, Berkshire. Presumably, his marriage on the same day was connected to the settlement examination and his 'settlement' may have been conditional on it. Establishing place of legal settlement was important if one wished to receive parish poor relief (the equivalent of our modern 'dole' or 'unemployment benefits'.) So it is likely that John Lovelock was seeking parish relief at the time. Four years later, in a Settlement Certificate dated 26 Oct 1743, John, his wife Elizabeth and his three children at that time, John, Lucy and Dorcas (spelt 'Darkis' on Certificate), were stated as legally settled in the parish of South Stoke, Oxfordshire. The 1743 Settlement Certificate was addressed to the Church Wardens and Overseers of the Poor at St Marys, Reading. Presumably John and his family were still living at the time at Reading and were seeking to remain there.

We also know do know from his Settlement Examination that 'he was hired for 4 years to Thomas Jennes of Woodcott in the parish of South Stoke in the County of Oxon with whom he lived as a serv[an]t for the space of two years and saith that he hath not gained any settlement since his service at Stoke as aforesaid'.
