Glover/ New Ferry/Wirral

[cg]

Hi Peter,
i have obtained my grandparents marriage cerificate from my aunt, they were married in St Marks church New Ferry on 19th April 1924, now---granddads age on the cert is 27, so that makes him born in 1897 by my reckoning, i never knew he was 4yrs older than my nan! thought he was born 1900-01, anyway---that's part of the brickwall knocked down!!

i'm not sure "were" he was born,my aunt doesn't seem to know.
his father's name was definatley George, it's on the cert!
can you help--------please.
chris.

Hi
    From the marriage certificate can you give me father Georges occupation and I will see if I can find him in 1901. Also the witness details.
    As I explained peviously there is no birth registerd for your Edward Glover in the Wirral area. This means he was born elswhere or under another name.
    This is a difficult one but I would strongly suggest you do search for your fathers birth/marriage certificates https://www.1837online.com/Trace2web/index.html

You need to confirm what your aunt has told you and the certs are the only way.

This from the 1901 census fits some of the referances you have given but is far from conclusive but worth saving.

Hi Peter,
George was a bargeman,so was Edward.
the witness details are John William Archibald [surname hard to read but looks like Archibald] and Deborah Mary Churchill.
thank you so much for your help.

I do not know if the following will help

My kinswoman Anne Shaw of Wirksworth married Stephen Glover of Derby a Printer and Publisher/Author  of historic  books re The History of Derbyshire and other such works..After giving birth to one child namely Stephen Shaw Glover in 1817 Anne died and Stephen married again to Anne Milnes in 1819  They had children Francis Milnes Glover  William Glover  and then moved to Moreton The Wirral where John Edward Glover, Emma Jane and Edward Glover were born..Stephen senior continued to write books from Moreton buried in the Church there 1870  Could the George you mention be son of one of the sons of Stephen Glover ?

thanks for your help Stuart,
but i don't think they belong to me
i have recently found that they came from Wigan,
i know they did'nt come from Morton,
they were barge people,granddad worked on them all his life,
it's a family tradition working on the river.
i have sent for his birth cert,and i am almost sure it is him.

Hi Chris

I live in New Ferry ... Beaconsfield road is a two minute walk from me and I pass St Marks (or Marsksies Church as they call it round here) Church everyday ... if you ever want a photo, give me a shout.
