Hi - I am on this site as a guest/temporarily. Just wanted to say hi. I am not a Gover myself, but my late Uncle by marriage was. He and my Aunt (widow) were married some 56 years! Frank died in his late 80s Sat 24 March 2007. His nephew (my cousin age 39) died the following day. Strangely, my cousin's wife is also a relative of the Govers via her Nan? I was once told that a lot of people in the area would be related to the Govers (but I don't know any). Frank had almost died during the war following an raid on a Hampshire town which I believe was hit by bombs. Shortly after the event Frank who was badly injured was shipped off to the morgue, or about to be. As luck would have it, at some point a nurse spotted a slight movement, and he was given medical attention and he went on to live a long life! He did however have to use walking stick(s) maybe as he got older. He was a reasonably tall man, well built and strong (kept up with us on his sticks for some distance in his late 70s! Not bad going). My Uncle and several of his siblings were born in Canada. I always knew him as Frank, but he was born Reginald in Regina, Canada. A brother? was born in Saskatchewan. Frank came to the UK at a young age after his father was killed/died and stayed on a family farm in Nursling, Southampton. I vaguely remember him mentioning him playing at the Nursling Golf course. Many years ago I obtained a local history booklet from the Sibley family, Toot Hill (they had been long established as coal merchants in the Nursling area). In that book was a b+w picture of Frank's brother Lloyd on a round with his horse and cart. It is interesting to know family history - I never knew of Frank's family came from Dorset. Thank you for posting. mary.smith008@sky.com
ps Did you also know that there is a "Gover Road" off Test Road at Redbridge named after the family.

Thanks for that, makes interesting reading. I know the Frank b. 1889 married to Emily had siblings of Lloyd-Georgina-Mary-Douglas-Reginald-Gwendoline.....I dont know anymore than that on the Canadian side. Franks dad was Frank Charles b.1869 married to May Jane.(Nursling) Frank's brother george b.1861 married to Olive Tanner is the line Im taking. Both Frank & George parents.......Joseph b.1836 married to Charlotte Light are buried in St. Boniface Church along with his parents Charles married to Amelia Marsh.
I have heard a story that Charles b. 1790 ish came from the West, walked into Nursling and stayed.
So any of you Corfe Castle, Swanage, Wareham Govers help me out! Ive found 2 entries in Corfe Castle in 1792 - but with no first name - parents being Joseph & Elizabeth and the other James & Ann. Charles by 1841 Census is in Nursling married to Amelia and died by the 1851 census. Thanks Mo

Dear Gover Family,
Following a recent turnout I came across a rare local book that I borrowed from my local library many, many years ago. I believe it was privately published by the local coal firm that was, the SIBLEYs at Toothill. I attach a couple of pics/info which may be of interest to you. (Acknowledgements: Sibley, Nursling, Southampton, UK)

NOT SURE IF THIS IS OF ANY INTEREST: .. or through the fields at the bottom of Maybush Road, going past the farm and into Mr. Gover's field, then coming out in Green Lane.

Hi Steve
Thanks for the info. Im inclined to go with James & Ann (I think Ann Burden) the entry showing a bap ........9/5/1792 no first name. As Charles first born was called James b. 1817 which could be his fathers name. I have only found 3 children of James & Ann the 1792 blank, 1794 Elizabeth, 1797 Maria.
I know 1792 is Charles birth as I have seen the grave stone at Nursling which says he was 51.
The story is that Charles walked up from the West!! Then to confuse the issue his first born James was married to a Plymouth girl Mary Ann Oates. It is a very big jigsaw. Which gets worse as like you say there is Joseph & Elizabeth - another blank born 22/1/1792 and I cant find any other children for them. Also Charles last born was called Joseph!
Regards Maureen
