William
Glanville in the British
Army at Gibraltar in 1841 dodged the census, met
Sophia Kellam (nee
Gomez) a widow, there and married her in Daventry, County of Northampton
England on 6 Nov 1844. Their daughter Margaret was born 26th Jan 1847 in the
Parish of
Charleville, County of
Cork. Daughter
Amelia Valentine was born 14 Feb 1849 location??. The family in 1851 together with Sophia's daughters, Maria
Antonia and Ann
Kellam sailed for Western Australia on the convict ship Pyrenees where he was an enrolled pensioner guard thus dodging the 1851 census too. Shortly after their arrival
Sophia died in childbirth and William could not manage. He lost his prison warder job (alcohol) and word of mouth has him leaving the family and returning to the
UK via South Africa to rejoin
Army and serve in the Crimea and from there to the West Indies (Jamaica?) dodging the 1861 census (that is three in a row dodged). It is believed he was from near Saltash in
UK and his father was John
Glanville, a seaman. Does anyone else connect to to this dodger, my wife's g.g.grandfather?
