I would like to thank everyone who has helped me so far.
Because of the unusual surname of Lovegrove-Swinbourne it is becoming more difficult to find my great granparents because i can't find any of the surnames doing a search.
All help is very much appreciated.
If you look at the details above you will see what i mean & all additional information is there.
yes there was a little confusion about the surname, & i didn't know that there was an extention to it being Lovegrove-Swinbourne as my father didn't carry it over.
I appologise for any confusion caused by this & I still don't know why or where the Swinbourne came from, i can only think that when my great granparents were married they wanted to keep both surnames so it was hyphanated.
many thanks in advance.
Robert

Apologies if I seem to have doubted you, Robert.

I really thought you'd got caught in the surname board trap, which is a recurring theme on these boards..........causes no end of confusion........as if genealogy wasn't enough of a problem in the first place.

Delighted that the others seem to have sorted things out for you.................
