I am sure I am looking for a Joseph Glover, married by 1844, deceased by 1867 and who had a son by the same name around 1844. I suspect he was north of the Thames divide too, Islington, Clerkenwell ...........................................

Alan if you go on to the GRO index you can look for yourself, it's free but you have to register.

There are very few Joseph Glovers born 2 years either side of 1844, in the London area.

this is the one with mmn Newman as posted
Births Jun 1843 (>99%)
GLOVER Joseph Newington 4 328

the only other possible between 1841 and 1846 is this one
Births Mar 1841 (>99%)
Glover Joseph Glover St. Geo: Hanr. Sqre. 1 23

Looking again at Joseph on the 1871, there is also this one who was born Newington,

Joseph Glover Head - Male 28 1843 - Surrey, England POB Newington

Ann E Glover Wife - Female 39 1832 - Wiltshire, England Transcription
William J Glover Son - Male 1 1870 - Surrey, England

It would seem more likely that the Newington birth is the Joseph with wife Ann...

so back to square one maybe...

NOTE:-

It is important to realise that because a marriage certificate says that a father is deceased, it does NOT mean that the father really was dead!

It just means that child may have lost touch with the father, the father might have left the family and "disappeared", or the child was in fact under age, said they were of full age and father was deceased

Similarly, just because the father is not said to be does mean that he is alive ............ the vicar may not have asked the correct question, "is your father still alive?"!

There's also this one

Joseph Glover Son Unmarried Male 6 1845 Scholar France (BS British Subject)

I am sure the detail provided by Nyx contained in the 1871 Census is our man and the Clerkenwell/Islington link makes the last set of details from the 1851 Census the most probable next generation back. Does anyone have an idea why the three children would have moved to France at that particular time and how I might research more about Joseph Glover born in 1799?.

Really appreciate your help with this!!

The children were born in France, so the assumption might be that their father was working there or was in the military?

this 'could' be the Harriet born in 1811 ( not finding them on the 1861 as yet)

GLOVER, HARRIET 41 Order
GRO Reference: 1851 D Quarter in THE ISLINGTON DISTRICT Volume 03 Page 185

What date was the earliest census? 1851? Where do you recommend to go to research someone born in 1799?

The 1841 census is the earliest really but as the children were born in France between 1836 and '45 it probably won't help, Familysearch would be one place to look for anything prior to that.

Hi Alan,

Could you please give us ALL the details from that marriage cert - addresses, ages, occupations, especially the witnesses who could possibly be family members which might help.

Thanks,

Dea x

Thanks for your help. The family I hope to work back from is as follows -

Joseph Glover Head Married Male 52 1799 Cab Driver Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England
Harriet Glover Wife Married Female 40 1811 - St Pancras, Middlesex, England
Harriet Glover Daughter Unmarried Female 15 1836 Chelas Maid France
Ellen Glover Daughter Unmarried Female 10 1841 Scholar France
Joseph Glover Son Unmarried Male 6 1845 Scholar France (BS British Subject)

I know that the son Joseph, born 1845 was also a Carman when he married Mary Gosling in 1867. The witnesses were John and Eliza Gosling, the former being a fishing rod maker. He then had a son, which they also called Joseph in 1868 and thereafter, along with John, Harry and Louisa, had a daughter which they named Harriet which seems to reflect a family link
Its Joseph who was born in 1799 I know little about. Would he and his wife have been in France for some time, military??I do know he was deceased by the time his son married in 1867 in Bethnal Green (thus the Goslings witnessing) and assume he was married by 1844/5?
Appreciate the help
Alan

I'm wondering about this one? Although on the 1851 it gives the children's place of birth as France, the names and ages here tie in for daughters Harriet and Ellen

Brilliant. I think you must be right. Good new leads to work on to get back a generation
Thanks for this.

It's worth checking out anyway Alan and if someone has Ancestry sub they might be able to find a bit more as the London records there are very useful.
