Thank you very much. It may be that we were missing a generation (Samuel's father).

Thank you Rosie.

I believe that Samuel Glover came to England from Wales and worked as a land steward at Kempton Park for a Mr. Fish.

He married Margaret Ayres on 3rd June 1781, Kensington, Middlesex.

He died in 1855 and was buried at St Giles, Camberwell.

I am the direct line from his son Thomas born 1782 - my son is the 8th consecutive Thomas Glover born since.

I don't actually have proof that he came from Wales. It's just what was passed down through the family.

I hope this is helpful.

Pembrokeshire / Glover Pembrokeshire farming family 1700s
« on: Monday 02 January 17 13:12 GMT (UK)  »
I was told by my grandfather that Samuel Glover (b.1754) was one of four brothers of Pembrokeshire farming family. Samuel went to Surrey/ London (my direct descendant), one went to Ireland (his son may have been John William Glover, grandfather of the famous musician James Mackay Glover), one went to France or Belgium, and one to Scotland. The last may be wrong as a descendant was the composer Stephen Glover who was born in London and whose father was George Glover. 

I am looking to obtain more information on the brothers' parents and origins in Wales and any help would be greatly appreciated!
