Biography

Francis was born in 1810. He was the son of William Glenny and Molly How. He passed away in 1860.

There are a few family trees around with different scenarios of Francis and his family. Family records handed to me only show Francis, of Chadwell Heath married to Mary Ann and with only a son and daughter. (This would be understandable if mapping bloodlines as Sarah and her children are not of "Glenny" blood, however there appears to be 2 daughters to Sarah & Francis 1835-1839).

My beliefs are as follows:

Francis may have been married twice... 1st marriage to SARAH JOSE, a widow, married Francis Glenny 22nd December 1835 Leyton St Mary the Virgin. (Results of a Free BDM Search).

A Sarah Jose and her first husband Charles, had 3 children: Philip Charles Jose christened 19-3- 1826, Lucy Fanny Jose christened 4-5-1828 and possibly William Joses 18-8-1830. All in Essex.

1841 Census Dagenham Essex Chadwell Heath. Institution: Francis is 25. Sarah is 30. Charles Jose - 14, Fanny Jose - 12, Sarah Glenny is 4, and Harriet Glenny is 2.

England Essex Parish Registers record the christenings of SARAH GLENNEY 8th June 1837 born 15th May 1837 Chadwick Heath. Francis is a Farmer. HARRIET christened 28th November 1838. Parents to both children are Francis and Sarah.

A Sarah Glenny died in the last quarter 1841, Romford Essex. (Francis' wife?).
