Peter Glover

[janglover]

Just a thought, maybe his will might be of use. Any ideas where to search for Aussie wills ?

Each state holds their own records. This is Victoria http://www.rootschat.com/links/01fjf/
Adding: Would expect at an obit for someone of his standing and the government would ensure their slice of the pie.

Many thanks !

I thought I'd replied to this.

I can find no evidence of your Peter GLOVER in my resources, many of which are not online.  Nor can I find any evidence of Henry J FLOOD leaving  or returning to Victoria.   I notice that Mr FLOOD could not spell Federal.....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_palace

I can find no evidence of a Peter GLOVER having a shareholding in any gold mining company in Victoria.  His name should have appeared in the Victorian Government Gazettes when the co was registered.  Thousands of mining companies were registered but I can't find a "Victorian Gold Mining Company". 

I can find no evidence of Mr GLOVER advertising in the Victorian and Melbourne papers 'for some friends of his in Ireland".

The 1890's was the decade of financial problems and a crash in the property market in Melbourne.

I have searched the available electoral rolls, from Federation in 1900, and are online at Ancestry.com.au. and the only Peter GLOVER , Railway employee, was in Western Australia where he appeared for a number of years. 

When was your Peter GLOVER born?  I have read many times people were of 'advanced years' or elderly and found later they were only in their fifties and sixties   Probably considered elderly as life expectancy wasn't as long as today

That's about it

Nor is he listed as having a will in Victoria.

There is a Peter GLOVER living in Kilmore, a bootmaker, died 1890, so unlikely to be the right man.

No-one of that name appears on the NSW Keyname search

There is only one death for a Peter GLOVER listed in NSW - in 1877.

For you interest, a picture and some information about the Federal Palace Hotel.

Can't help wondering whether the gentlemen replying in the Irish newspaper about the whereabouts of GLOVER was not quite correct in his identification of the man.

Cando, I had typed up an almost identical post as yours about the non-existence fo those two men but was waiting to see if anyone had a breakthrough.  It's quite weird really and you have to wonder what the purpose was behind what seems to be completely false statements.  Perhaps they were spies talking to each other

Unusual but..... "Victorian Gold Ming Company"

Could this registration have slipped through the cracks somehow?

In Western Australia so wouldn't be registered in Vic.

Mmm
