Hi Robert,
That's really fantastic!! thanks so much for the picture of JWG!! Its really amazing!!! It is really lovely to see the names to go with face!
Right, I better put ALL of the info I have got on the Glover family.
John William and his wife Catherine nee Wade.
Their children in the order (so far as I know)
Ferdinand Glover (B1836 Dublin. died in the Hall in Dublin on 22 April 1859)
Elizabeth Glover (B1840 Dublin, died in New York, 30 Dec 1910) she was married to Daniel O'Sullivan and had 6 children (all children born in Missouri, USA and moved to New York, USA) Two of their daughters were opera or choir singers.
Mary Glover (birthyear unknown in Dublin) married James Mackay. had two sons Jimmy and now you have given another son's name Michael. Mary's husband James disappeared after he got out of prison? in Jimmy's book, his father was exiled to Jersey? Mary's death is unknown same goes for her husband James.
Madeline Glover known as Lina or Lena (B1847 Dublin died sept 1929 in London, England) she was married to Arthur William Gedge and had no children. Her husband died in Southampton.England. He had the will and left the money to his niece Catherine Glover, who was the daughter of William Ferdinand Glover.
Emilie Glover (B1848 died in New York on 1 Oct 1917) She married Samuel Grey in England. no children
William Ferdinand Glover (B1851 Dublin, Died 28th Oct 1917 New York, USA. He died of pneumonia. He married Marion Edwards. They had 3 children: Winifred Marion Theresa Glover, Robert Ferdinand Glover and Catherine Lilian Gladys Glover.
Winifred Glover was the one that I am related to by marriage as she was married to Thomas Marley Wood, they had 3 sons. One of their sons David Earle Wood had a son Colin Voce Wood who is my uncle.
My Uncle Colin was Prof. J.W Glover's Great Great Grandson.
My Uncle Colin doesn't know anything about this family, my aunt, his wife asked me to research his family tree and I told her what I have found and she asked me to do the book for my Uncle for Christmas this year as a surprise!
You mentioned the book Jimmy did, was that called "Jimmy and his friends"? Jimmy mentioned first wife, who was she? she died didn't she? then Jimmy married again to Kathleen Collins? Jimmy mentioned a son from 1st marriage?
You have made my day, I think its brilliant to see the picture of JWG. Its really wonderful! thanks so much!
Jimmy's brother Michael was an musician too? what did he do? where was he? did Michael have Ferdinand as in his middle name? I will try to find Michael and his sister Mary.
Jimmy mentioned two aunts? they were musicians too weren't they?
Thank you so much you have been brilliant help!
Best Wishes
Kerry
