  • I am searching for the Lovett lines from possibly County Tyrone.  John Lovett b 1790, wife Isabella McBride b 1801.  Sons' Patrick, John, Joseph, and Alexander all went to USA about 1830-1850.  They may have lived at Coalisland. Thank you if you can help.

  • Hi I just saw your message today and its funny because my nan was a Mary Lovett who I am trying to trace also she was married to Patrick O' Brien in Dublin in the 1920's  or so, they lived in Dublin, she was also related to the McNallys I found out recently and she had a William Lovett as her father I think, unfortunately I am still trying to pinpoint the precise records as getting Irish records from the UK is a little difficult to say the least, do you think these are the same Lovetts?

     

    Kind Regards

  • That would be great if you would share you tree.  It sounds like they were from different parts of Ireland and the dates don't seem to match as mine are the 1820's for Joseph and no William in that line...."I don't think anyways."  But, they could be some relatives of that line.  I'd like to see what you have to try to compare, thank you!!!

  • Hi well I have only just begun really but there is Mary Lovett in my tree they werent originally from Dublin judging by what I was told although she lived married and died there I havent listed alll of her children as I cant remember all of their names however today i have upgraded my account so that there will be enough to check all records now so I should be able to find out more details a lot easier now and im on a research mission my profile on ancestry.com is called OBrienMaguire as spelt

    I shall be doing some more research soon and update it  :-)

    Good Luck and let me know if you find out anything interesting or that could be of some help

    ps there was an unusual name of ernest lovett ernest was carried through the o brien tree and stemmed from my nan mary as i know she had brother or uncle not sure called ernest so that should help that name stretched from their line also

  • I can't find the tree on ancestry, can you send a LINK to it.  I don't know how to search for a tree on there.  I connect to it with my friends account, not mine, but I still don't know how to search for a specific tree.
