My 3rd great grandfather, William Glanville, was the son of Frederick Glanville who I believe was a tailor in London. My William was born 1818 in Stoke Newington, Middlesex, England and lived his married life in Birch, Colchester, Essex, England until his death in 1868. He was a footman for the Charles Roundy who lived at Birch Hall during the 1840s through William's death at age 50.

Does anyone know how many families of Glanvilles were living in the London area then? Were they related to one another? From the research I have done my line appears to be pretty easy to find. Having said that, however, I have not gone back earlier than Frederick Glanville who died around 1853 if I remember correctly.

My William Glanville married Ann Clark in about 1841. Their children were:
James
William Charles
Charles Thomas
Mary
Harry
Edmund
George
Agnes Adelaide

If you think you connect with this family, let me hear from you. Thanks.
