The Advertiser, Tuesday 13 August 1929

Interesting her initials have been used rather than Joseph's!

I think Tony is right on the money with Joseph's birth, and his siblings. Mt Ararat fits, more likely what they mean (may be a bit of a nickname - they would not remember having been there!). There is a birth in SA of a Joseph Hopkins GLOVER in 1863 Yankalilla, but his father's name is Thomas which does not fit the info you have, not to mention the middle name.

Have you seen his death notice? From NLA Trove:

The Advertiser, Tuesday 24 July 1951
GLOVER. —On July 21, at Port Augusta, Joseph, beloved husband of Mary, and loving father of four sons and six daughters. In his 90th year.

Hi Lyndel.

Death certs are only as good as the information that is supplied by the "informant" concerning the deceased, and how well they new the deceased person, and where he/she was born.

It is also possible that there is an spelling or typo error on the death cert of Joseph........and it was meant to say Ararat? or Mount Ararat in Victoria.

The birth index's for the State of Victoria show only one Joseph Glover birth registered in1862.

Do you have Joseph's marriage cert? ( this would confirm his parents names )


Tony ( Victoria )

Hi
On Joseph's deaths cert is is Mount Rat, Victoria also on this sons birth cert would it be wrong and they ment Port Victoria SA. Is there any records of births at Port Victoria SA,.

Hi Lyndel.

Possibly births of Joseph & John GLOVER ( and siblings )

A Joseph birth registered in the State of Victoria ( 1862 )...and John in the state of South Australia (1868 ).......as well as other siblings births registered in Vic. & S.A

There is no Mount Rat in the state of Victoria?....but there is a Mount Rat Rd, Port Victoria, in S.A

However, there is a "Mount Ararat" in the state of Victoria

Update:

It appears this John GLOVER married Margaret IRELAND in South Australia ( 1856 )..........both moved to the state of Victoria where the first 3 children were born.....then back to South Australia again, where the rest of the children were born/registered after 1862.

If you feel this is your family?...then a purchase of the marriage cert for John GLOVER and Margaret IRELAND "should" give you a birth place/country for John GLOVER ........and Margaret. ( hopefully )
