Goldworkers List (Section VII).
He was born around 1780.
A marriage between a Thomas Lovejoy and Elizabeth Parsons is recorded in 1820 at St George, Bloomsbury; both parties were said to be of that parish.
A christening record in 1821 at St Mary, Lambeth for a son of Thomas and Elizabeth Lovejoy shows their address as Cornwall Road. The record of another of their children christened at the same church in 1823 shows the parents’ address as Bond House, Commercial Road.
Christenings of two of their children at Christ Church, Southwark in 1824 record the parents’ address as Princes Street.
In 1825 he entered a maker’s mark at Goldsmiths Hall as a goldworker at 47 Red Lion Street.
The christenings of two of their children at St John the Evangelist, Lambeth in 1826 and 1829 also record the parents’ address as Princes Street. Another of their children’s christening recorded at the same church in 1830 shows their address as Skinner Street, Bishopsgate as do two more christening records at St Mary, Lambeth in 1832.
All christening records show Thomas as a jeweller.
His burial in 1837 aged 57 years is recorded at St John the Evangelist, Lambeth. The last address is unreadable.
The 1841 UK Census shows the family household at Queen’s Head Court, St Andrew, Holborn. Their son Thomas aged 20 years appears to have been the breadwinner.
