The following details are taken from the research undertaken by Ronald and Victor Loosemore. They are included to provide a direct ancestral link to the earliest known record of a Loosemore in Bishops Nympton Devon at the start of the 16th century. No research had been done or recorded by Ronald and Victor for the generations which follow Thomas Loosemore 1749 - 1828, as they were not directly relevant to the ancestral line being investigated by them. However there is considerable detail provided in the work ‘Loosemore of Devon’ by Ronald Loosemore on the generations from Edmund Loosemore and Elizabeth Parking right back to William Lowsemore and Agnes ??? . A summary of this is shown on the page 'The Earliest Loosemores'.
Between the entries recorded there and the appearance of George Loosemore 1782-1821 we have four generations of whom very little is known. What there is I have set out below. Since publishing this page I have undertaken further research which has uncovered Parish records to enhance the information shown.
