 The problem in this period is that the registers give so little info so unless the family owned land or appear in poor law records it can be impossible to trace them. Lovelace is unfortunately quite a common name in Somerset (also in Dorset) so if they move just a little way it's hard to be certain. Also lots of possible spellings.

  A search on Freereg  did find a Betty d of Robert and Mary Lovelace baptised in 1718 in Hillffarrance and a Mary (transcribed as  Loveliss)  in 1722 (Hillffarrance is within 5 miles of Halse)

There is also the burial of a Robert  in Halse in 1728  http://www.freereg.org.uk/

Not much help I'm afraid.
