Hi Jo ann,
My great grandfather was George Lovering, born in Braunton, North Devon in 1858. He moved to Swansea, South Wales as did many of his siblings if not the whole family. He had several siblings:Charles Henry, Miriam,Phoebe, Suzzana, Mary,John, and William. I have gone back to the late 1600's and although there are still some gaps, I don't find reference to Elsie Elizabeth nor a Hayman. There were many Loverings in the Devonshire county and many ended up in the larger centres such as Swansea when the government passed the Act of Enclosure. This prohibited the commoners from growing their vegetables and grazing their cattle on the common land and they could no longer sustain their families, hence their moves to the larger cities for employment. Sorry I can't be of more help Jo Ann but if you keep my details and find a link somewhere, please let me know and I'll do the same. Cheers!
