Wow thank you so much for all this information! How amazing you are still in that house and wonderful to be able to look up its history.  I'm so glad to mentioned the link to Daniel Hinchliffe as he features in my link to the Glovers.  Daniel Hinchcliffe (1825-1906) was married to Rachel Rhodes (1822-1903) who had 3 children that I know of, Elizabeth (1854-1895) Joseph Hinchcliffe (1845) and Benjamin Hinchcliff (1851). My link is through Elizabeth who first married Lionel HIRST, the HIRSTs being another family invested in mill ownership with many talented professional members of their family - mill owners & engineers. Lionel was a surgeon and sadly died shortly after they were married. Seven years later Elizabeth married again to Harry CRAVEN (1860-1934) and had 4 children, Harold Clifford Henry Craven, Rachel M Craven, Daniel Hinchcliff Craven and Claude Lionel Craven. Daniel H CRAVEN married Gladys May (Kitty) GLOVER linking forever the Hinchcliff an Glover families. Their apparent only child Anthony Rene CRAVEN married Joan Muriel Clarke Irons, my Nan's sister! Phew!
One other little tidbit - I wondered where the 'Rene' name came from. Clarence Glover and his wife Mary Ann BULMER had 2 chidlren, Gladys May (above) and a son called Joseph Rene GLOVER (b 1893) so that's where it came from, but where did it come before that?! In 1901 census Clarence is in Laburnum House, and as you will know they had a visitor staying with them, one Rene Buggenhoud aged 28, a general merchant of Belgian nationality!  That's mixing business with pleasure!

Hi all, I googled Glover's Mill Yard as found it in 1891 census with Carmi Glover and Frederick Glover both living there with families. I am doing some quick research of this family, as one of our family married a Anthony Rene CRAVEN who was married to Gladys May GLOVER, daughter of Clarence GLOVER (1865-1926) and Mary Ann BULMER, son of Joseph & Harriet Hamilton (b 1839), both born in Leeds, and who married on 11 May 1857.  On the marriage register Joseph’s father was given as William Glover, who was a tailor, born in Kent, who married Mary from Morley.  Joseph was the eldest of their 7 children, his siblings were Frederick (1837), Marie (1939), Eunice (1846), Selina 1850), Edward (1840) and the youngest Carmi (1852-1905).   In 1851 William and Mary were living in ‘Bottoms’ in Morley in the district of Churwell.
Out of curiosity, I followed Carmi Glover through other records to check the spelling of his name and in 1891 discovered him  living in ‘Glover’s Mill Yard’, Wortley, Yorkshire as a dyer, with wife Mary A and children Mary E, Hettie 15, Sarah C 13, Joseph S 10, Ada 8, Beatrice 5.   His wife Mary Ann and the eldest children were all cloth weavers.  Carmi’s elder brother Frederick, another son of William and Mary Glover was also living in the Mill Yard.
Following Joseph GLOVER and in 1871 he was a ‘manufacturer of Woollen cloth” living in Alverthorpe, Wakefield.  He and harriet had a large family:
1.   Eunice Glover (1858)
2.   Leonard Glover (1860-1929)
3.   Edgar Glover (1862-1947)
4.   Laure Glover (1864)
5.   Rose Ann Peel Glover (1864)
6.   Clarence Glower (1865-1826)
7.   Lily May Glover (1869)
8.   Herbert Glover 1872
9.   Archibald Glover (1874)
10.   Elsie Hamilton Glover (1877-1887)

I was intrigued to see the link to the BROOK family who were primarily cotton mill owners. I have them on another part of my family tree so have quite a bit of research in the past on them. I'm just amazed at how these families all link up. It has formed a loop in my tree now! I guess they all tried to keep the money in the wealthy families. I note on the LEONIDIS site ithe photo of house at Alma Road - was built in 1866 for William Glover who was the owner of a Leeds chemical firm. Was this the same William Glover from Kent, father of Joseph. The checmicals woudl haev been surely the dyes used in the manufacturing to colour the wool?  Would love to know more....
Hey Im in NZ also, in Christchurch, say hi if you get this msg and we can catch up if you are near!!

I'd love some help, but not sure if I could cope with more information at the moment as I'm doing a different line at present!  I have collected a few pieces from Papers Past and have started putting Charles Clarke Irons story together, intending to return to it at a later date.   He was quite an interesting fellow, was said to have had afternoon tea with Charles Dickens! I have quite a large digital collection of his art works which are scattered with family around the world. I'd love to find out what else he has left here in NZ, if anything. he did write an ode and song for the Canterbury Jubilee,1850-1900, and I have recently found a catalogue for the Canty Art Society 1904 featuring his name.

Hi Lucy,

My Mum found your post online re Charles Clarke Irons arriving in NZ on Ruapehu with two sons and forwarded me the link.  He is my Great Grandfather. Can you tell me where to find the passenger lists please?   I am happy to help if I can but sounds like you know more than me!  I haven't researched his line properly yet. I started and got side-tracked, twice!

I'm in Christchurch.
Regards
Amanda
