Hello there-

A bit belated but I think we may be linked by Thomas Glover Southampton- my grandfather and great grandfather are both Thomas Glover's and both in the Navy (the family profession for generations!)- Thomas Alexander Glover died on HMS Badger in 1945, and Thomas William Glover served on several vessels in WW2, ans had links with HMS Ganges in Shotley.
If this sounds familiar, please let me know
Thanks!

Vanessa

not certain which Glover it was.

My information ( from Janet Thompson a relative of Celine)
is:
Celine Boivin b. 11/3/1870 St. Saviours Jersey Channel Islands
m. Thomas Glover 6/3/1898 Jersey Channel Islands.
he was born Southampton 1865.
Witnesses at the Wedding were her Sister ( Fanny)
and her Brother in Law Andrew Donahue.

Celine had three children Lilian May , Mary Celine,
and Jack( b. 1906).

This may be a relative of yours, but ???

Some more information regarding Celine Boivin


I was talking to Janet, and she told me that on the
Marriage Certificate it stated that Thomas was a mariner
and it gave his Father as Thomas Glover who was a
master mariner.
They were from the St. Mary's area of Southampton.
In the 1901 Census for Jersey, Celine said she was
a widow.
The children Lilian May and Mary Celina were born
1895, 1896 respectivley.

Lilian May lived with her grandparents ( Boivin)
in 1901 Census Jersey, and Mary Celina was with
her Mother.
This may help

Janet lives in London England.

Thankyou so much for your information- I need a few more pieces to fit into the jigsaw but I would not be surprised if we are related. My Aunt has a family tree started in the 1960's by the Southampton branch of the Glover family that she hasn't taken any further, so I am waiting for her to send this to me- if I see any Boivin's named I wil be in contact.

Our family names are Thomas, William and John, with popular middle names of either William or Alexander. It would be interesting to see of these names feature highly on your tree also..

Good luck!

Vanessa

thanks for the reply.
It would be nice if the Boivin name was on the tree from
Southampton.
I am enquiring as my great Uncle George Kitcher
went to Jersey and married Celina's sister, Mary Louisa.
I am also enquiring for Janet Thompson ( roseboivin@yahoo.co.uk ) who has the direct link.
Her Great Grandfather, Alexandre Boivin was Celina's Brother.
Janet does not have access to a computer ( home), she has to go the the library , so this is why I am checking out the
names etc.
