Peter Glover

[janglover]

Hi all,
I am researching my Glover line and they all hail from Kerry, Ireland. During my research I found the following articles and I'm intrigued. I think I know where Peter fits into my tree but I knew nothing about the Australian connection. I have no idea where to start looking and would appreciate any advice. Many thanks

There are a couple of ads here in 1899

Thanks a million Rose.  That's him aright.  Now I can start searching for the millions

If you give his parents' names and his date of birth we may be able to help further.  (on condition of sharing the millions!!    )

Seriously those details may help find BMDs or other information.

Hi Judb,
I'd LOVE to have his parents names or his DOB but I have little chance of getting them. It's very difficult to research that far back in Ireland. I'm relying on remaining extracts of church registers and in their parish only bits of them exist (to 1803). Glover is not a Kerry name and I presumed they came from elsewhere - but where ??
I have a group of Glovers living in Killeentiena around the 1830s. I managed to get the marriage record of my GG Grandparents William Glover and Gobnait Brosnan. They were married in Killeentierna in 1837. I suspect that Peter may be William's brother. I also have Walter Glover who appears twice here:

http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/e39ba40029040

Walter is listed as a soldier on the original marriage register for his daughter. Perhaps he is another brother or perhaps Peter's father.
I thought I might be able to find passenger records or an obit for Peter. It would be great if I could as it might help me tie the whole family up

Hi Jan,
Is this your post?

Guilty as charged ! as far as I know that particular Peter is a nephew of the one in Australia. The Canadian one had a large family that emigrated in 1888. I have their grave details from Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery in Montreal. I doubt if they are the same one. Bearing in mind I have at least 5 Peters, 6 Williams and a pile of Georges in the Glover ranks, it's hard to keep track of them.

Thanks for clarifying, why is the millionaire always the hardest to track down 

[janglover]

This one won't be easy. I'm just hoping that I find a long detailed obit in the Australian newspapers
