Lovemore reunion
The Lovemore family held a successful family reunion earlier this year in Port Elizabeth. The founder of the clan, according to Margaret Harradine’s book, Port Elizabeth, was Henry, born in London. He died at Bushy Park, the family home on the road to Seaview, in November 1851, when he was 76. Henry married four times. The Lovemore Story, a hard-cover book written by Bernard Johnson, incorporating the research work of his late wife, Gweneth, was on sale. The family was well-known in farming and road building. Descendants are spread out in South Africa, Australia, the USA, England, Zimbabwe and Botswana. Noo Sullivan (née Lovemore) has lived in Alabama, USA, for many years. She matriculated at the Priory Convent and grew up at Bushy Park. For more information about the book, contact Davina Coombs 041-379 1838 (after work hours).
