Thomas Glew (bap. 1 Sep 1839 in Sculcoates), son of William Glew and Jane Clark, married Hannah Amelia Broomby (b. 1839 in Nottingham), daughter of William Broomby and Mary Ann Douse, in Sculcoates in the first quarter of 1857.

Thomas and Hannah Amelia had thirteen children:

All of the birth registrations have the mother's maiden name of BROOMBY. And, I've checked them all and the last child is the only one to have been baptised.

In 1861, Thomas Glew (21) Mate employs 2 men; Hannah A Glew (22) and George C Glew (1) were living at 25, Harbour Square, Sculcoates. Hannah Glew (4) was with her grandparents, William and Jane Glew aboard the vessel, "Cousin Mary", then located at Oaks Colliery, Ardsley, Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

In 1871, Thomas Glew (31) employed at an Oil Mill; Hannah Glew (32), John W Glew (8), Joseph Glew (2) and Sarah A (sic) Glew (0) were living at 2, Wilkinson's Terrace, Sculcoates (which I believe was in Green Lane, Wincolmlee). Hannah Glew (13) was with her grandparents on the vessel, "Sarah", around Mexborough.

In 1881, living at 3, Lawson's Court, Sculcoates (which seems also to have been in Wincolmlee in the All Saints Parish of East Hull) were Thomas Glew (41) Dock Labourer; Hannah A Glew (42), John Wm Glew (18), Joseph Glew (12), Sarah J Glew (10), George H Glew (8), Ernest Glew (6), Elizabeth Glew (3), Hester [Esther] Glew (1) and Mary Ann Glew (3 weeks). (Hannah Glew had married in Jan.)

[Hannah] Amelia Glew died, aged 44, in 1883 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 113 and was buried on 4 Oct 1883 at St. Peter's Church in Drypool.

Thomas Glew (50) widower, married Alice Austin (30) widow, both of 7 Bourne Street, on 22 Dec 1889, at Christ Church, Sculcoates. Witnesses were William Glew and Maria Glew. Born Alice Morrow, on 4 Sep 1859, she had previously married John Albert Austin, in 1883, with whom she had two children: Alice Austin b. 1884 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 195 and George Austin b. 1 Jan 1885 (M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 183). John Albert Austin died, aged 31, and was buried on 20 Feb 1886 at Sheffield, City Road Cemetery. (Alice Austin Jnr was brought up by her maternal grandmother.)

Thomas and Alice added a further eight children:

14. Thomas William Glew b. 15 Jan 1890 (1890 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 196) 
15. Jane Glew b. 26 Mar 1892 (1892 J Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D 205)
16. Maria Glew b. 3 Dec 1893 (1894 M Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D 193)
17. Susannah Glew b. 28 Mar 1895 (1895 J Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D 212)
18. Ada Glew b. 1898 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 225. Died, aged 2 on 17 Feb 1900 from Bronchitis and was buried on 22 Feb 1900.
19. Ruth Amy Glew b. 1899 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 227. Died 30 Sep 1899 from Convulsions and was buried on 4 Oct 1899.
20. Edith Glew b. 1901 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 228. Died, aged 10, 1911 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 306
21. Albert Glew b. 19 Aug 1904 (1904 S Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D 255)

On the birth registration for Thomas William, the mother's maiden name is incorrectly listed as MURRAY; on those for Jane, Ada and Albert it's 'usefully' wrong as AUSTIN and those of Maria, Susannah, Ruth Amy and Edith, MORROW.

So yes, Thomas Glew had an incredible 21 children and 2 step-children in total!

In 1891, at 7, Bourne Street, were Thomas Glew (51) Oil Mill Labourer; Alice Glew (31), George H Glew (18) & Ernest Glew (16) Oil Mill Labourers; Elizabeth Glew (13), Mary Ann Glew (10), Thomas W Glew (1) and George Austin (6) Stepson.

In 1901, at 8, Bourne Street, Sculcoates were Thomas Glew (62) Labourer in Oil Mill; Alice Glew (42), George Austin (16) Errand boy; Thomas W Glew (11), Jane Glew (9), Maria Glew (7), Susannah Glew (6) and Edith Glew (2 months). Esther Glew (20) Embosser printer was living in the household of George Milner - who was married to her eldest sister Hannah - at 100, Spyvee Street, Sculcoates.

In 1911, Thomas Glew (71) Labourer in oil mill was living at 1 Reform Street, Hull with Alice Glew (51), George Austin (26), Thomas W Glew (21), Jane Glew (19), Maria Glew (17), Susannah Glew (16), Edith Glew (10) and Albert Glew (6). This census confirms that Thomas and Alice had eight children, of whom six were still living and two at that point had died, during their 22 years of marriage.

In 1921, Thomas Glew (81) Retired, was still living at 1, Reform Street, Hull, with Alice Glew (61), Thomas William Glew (31), Maria Glew (27) and Albert Glew (16).

In 1939, Alice Glew, Widowed, was living at 40 Staveley Road, Kingston Upon Hull with son, Albert Glew and a James Henry Fern (Lodger, presumably.)
