Research Notes

Marriages Witness
The forename of Jeremiah Glover, who witnesses both of Dorothy's marriages, was almost impossible to read. After guessing that Jeremiah was a possibility, I found a marriage of Jeremiah Glover, of Wakefield, to Ann Champion of Castleton, Derbyshire, at Castleton, on 10 May 1832.^[26] The signature of Jeremiah at his own marriage was an excellent match to the two signatures when he was a witness for Dorothy.
