Ch, Rainbow? Hill, Worcester, England; cert. shows Elsie May as 21, spinster, resid. 1 Hay St, Claines, St George, dtr of John TWYNING, labourer (deceased); Thomas Albert as 21 motor driver resid. 30 Holly ?Mt? Rd, Tunnel Hill, son of Albert Henry, telegraph salesman; Witnesses Harry Christopher ?James?; Albert Henry Glover, F H ?Hallwood?; Albert Henry Glover and Emily Lilian Glover (and yes, Albert does appear twice in the witness list).1,4 Thomas Albert Glover is assumed to have died cir. 1927 ?Worcester, England; A family story indicates Thomas died from a fall at work (installing hydro poles) and that his daughter died within the year, which dates this to around 1927, but there isn't a matching death obvious in the index and Elsie's subsequent remarriage to George Shephard states she was a spinster, divorced wife of Thomas Glover, not widow of. There is however a death index entry in Truro in 1978 for a Thomas Albert GLOVER, born 6 Jan 1902 (a date which matches that from family of Thomas' brother John).6,7 He died bet. Jun 1978 - Sep 1978 reg. Dist of Truro, Cornwall, England.7
