He was the second son of Richard Loveday, esq. an apothecary, at Hammersmith, in Middlesex, to whose memory he erected a tablet in Hammersmith church, with a Latin inscription, which will be seen in Faulkner’s History of that parish, p.135. By this inscription it appears that his father was for nearly 40 years in practice at Hammersmith, and died Dec. 10, 1812, aged 81. His mother Maria, of the Bainbridge family in the county of Leicester, died May 19, 1801, aged 63. He received his first appointment in the East India Company’s service in 1778; became Colonel of the 32d regiment of Bengal infantry in Nov. 1817; attained the rank of Major-General in 1819; and of Lieut.-General in 1837. He married Miss D’Esterre, sister to Mr Norcott D’Esterre, who was killed by Mr Daniel O’Connell in a duel near Dublin in 1815; by whom he had two sons, Lieut. Byam M. Loveday, of the 15th Bombay N.I., killed in India, having married, May 12, 1842, Alicia-Cassan, eldest daughter of Major-Gen. Simpson; and the Rev. Henry A. Loveday, a Chaplain in India, married Aug. 3, 1840, to Eliza-Louisa, daughter of William Mulls, esq. and Lady Pilkington, of the Grove, Dedham, Essex; and four daughters, of whom the eldest, Mary, who is deceased, married Edward Hawkins, esq.

Inf. killed at Hyder Keel, Sept. 6, 1839; the third, Jesse, is married to Capt. Spottiswoode; and the fourth, Julia-Charlotte, married July 20, 1842, at Meerut, in India, to C.
