The Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid lists a Jane Glover, wife of Robert N. Glover, buried in North Bay Union Cemetery.  It also lists Ellen K. Glover, wife of Robert.  All three have the same reference number, this likely refers to the cemetery.  Unfortunately no dates are included.

Great discovery. Perhaps the cemetery can help with further information on Jane/Janet.

Re the second marriage for Robert, to Ellen K. McNaughton, in 1930 in Toronto, he states he is a bachelor, a pipe fitter, and a resident of Niagara Falls, Ontario.  His parents are given as George Glover and Margaret Nisbet.   She is a spinster, resident of North Bay.

Well, thus complicates things! In 1907, in North Bay,  Adam Murray Glover married Ellen Kinnesburgh McNaughton, daughter of Duncan McNaughton and Ellen Abraham.  Adam is the son of George Glover and Margaret Nisbet.
It looks like Robert married his brother’s wife (widow?) in 1930 but why did they declare themselves as bachelor and spinster?  Ellen is recorded as Ellen Kinnesburgh McNaughton rather than Nisbet.
