Hi Jan-Yes, we must be cousins!

I'm absolutely thrilled to hear any info you may have.Any info will be invaluable.
I remember my Grandmother mentioning a poetry book her mother had written.
I have never seen this book so would definitely love a copy.

I am based in the UK but travel over to Kerry regularly.

Still a bit confused about William Glover(my Great G.F) as he was born circa 1876.

I've tracked him in the 1901 census and he was boarding in Castle street, Tralee and aged 25.
His occupation is recorded as stonemason and his placeof birth is recorded as Kileentierna.

In the 1911 census he had moved to Dingle(presumably for work) and was boarding in Green Street,Dingle and my Great G.M Mary was also living in another address on Green Street.
His age is recorded as 35 and her age as 23.

As William and Gobnet married in 1837,I can't see how William could be there son!?

I'm thinking George Glover(son of William and Gobnet) and Agnes(O'Connor) could be his parents as they married in 1874.

Still researching but if you could shed any more light it would be fantastic and we can now work together towards a common goal!

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum.

Hi there,
I was delighted to find your thread regarding Glovers in Kerry. My great-grandmother was Mary Glover (nee Manning) from Dingle and was the poet/artist. She wrote the song Dingle Bay apparently. She was married to William Glover, stone-mason and they resided in Dingle.
I too am trying to search back the Glover and Manning line. Getting confused as to who was William Glover's (b.@1876 in Kileentierna) father. Was it George or another William as tracking back getting a bit confused at this point.
What have you found regarding military links? As I am fascinated also as to where they originated from.
Best regards
Shar
