Thomas Glover family

[curiousgirl707]

Am researching the Thomas Glover (born 1858 or 1862, depending!). I believe he and his family, wife Hannah (nee Edgeland/Edgland) and children Nellie, Florence, John/Jack, Irenia and Mayflower, were living in Eastbourne prior to their immigration to Canada in 1913.
I am trying to find his date of birth, cannot find him on freeBMD.  Baptism and marriage records suggest 1862 as the date of birth, death cert says 1858 as birthdate.  Family records give actual date as Feb. 24, but no year.
 Also would be interested in contacting any family related to Thomas (decendants of any of his brothers or sisters, if he has any!), or Hannah.
Thanks for any help,
Lesley

Hannah Maria Edgeland also on page Thomas Glover

Have you got the cert?
Who does Thomas give as his father? Fathers name and occupation might help trace him in earlier censuses.

Hi and welcome to rootschat
You may find the 1911 census helpful if they left in 1913.  We can't do look ups on here but you can discover a lot free from the index and only pay for credits when you are sure you have the right family.  They are distinctive names so should be fairly easy to find.

Here he is in 1881! (mistranscribed as Gloser)
You were wondering about siblings ...well... yes he certainly had a few!

Interesting 'visitor' isnt it - that must be our Anne/Hannah whom he marries!
And it looks like the enumerator has copied the places of birth on to the worng lines, as we know SHE was born Devon Stokenham, unlikely to be the youngest child.

Thanks everyone!  It looks pretty consistant that his birth year is 1862 from the ages given on the census. 
Now I can start looking for siblings! 
Thanks again!
