X00403 John Glover EOL - Solved!

John Glover is my 4x Great Grandfather. I've been trying to find is birth location and the generation before him

Here is the information that I have:

Doc	Desc.	Age	Implied Year	Birth location	Other notes
D00299	1841 Census	25	1816	Lancashire
D00298	Marriage (1839)				Father: James Glover
D00301	1851 Census	39	1812	Caton, Lancashire
D01349	1861 Census	51	1810	Caton, Lancashire
D09646	1871 Census	62	1809	Caton, Lancashire
D09650	Death (1874)	61	1813
D09651	Burial (1874)	61	1813

The 1841 census rounded ages, so the implied birth year of 1816 is probably not likely. So we are looking for a birth year range of 1809 to 1813 in Caton, lancahsire and a father of James Glover

With those parameters, I was able to find one record that fit. A baptism record for a John Spooner Glover born 22 March 1812 and baptised 21 June 1812 in Caton, Lancashire. The parents were James and Elizabeth Glover.

Not only do the age, location and father's name fit, but John Glover's first two children were named Elizabeth and James.

With a little further digging, I was able to find a marriage record for a James Glover and Elizabeth Spooner from 16 May 1803 in Caton, Lancashire.

So, it would appear that I have not only found John Glover's birth information, but also the next generation!
